Wow, we are lost for words! Everything from A-Z was just perfect. The warmth and attentiveness of the service, the huge and well-equipped rooms (water suite), the perfectly organized excursions, the cleanliness, the beach, etc. The island is rather small and very quiet. We have rarely eaten such delicious food. Everything is freshly prepared, from breakfast to BBQ, catch of the day, dessert, etc. It's hard to beat, we will come back to see Como Maalifuhsi as soon as possible

“Back after 10 years and it was even better than before!”

We went to Maalifushi 10 years ago when it first opened and have been thinking about going back ever since. It's always a risk to go back to somewhere from such a long time ago, that you have such incredible memories from, as things could have changed. Incredibly Maalifushi is even better now tha... more

We went to Maalifushi 10 years ago when it first opened and have been thinking about going back ever since. It's always a risk to go back to somewhere from such a long time ago, that you have such incredible memories from, as things could have changed. Incredibly Maalifushi is even better now than it was 10 years ago. The Water Suites are amazing for their size and quality and the view. However this is one of those rare places where there is no such thing as a bad room. The food was a stand out memory from a decade ago and was every bit as delicious this time. The island itself is beautiful and better in real life than the photos. The house reef and snorkelling provided daily encounters with turtles, sharks, rays and a huge variety of fish, all within very easy each. From riding bicycles around the island, to the spa, to the kids club, the gym, the turtle and dolphin tours, it was all relaxed perfection. So good that we extended our stay. Getting there and back was easy due to the seaplane from Male. I wish I could remember more of the names of the Maalifushi team but the service from people like Opal, Citti, Anne, Putri, Liu, Rini and many others was flawless. All credit to Sobah and his team. They are onto something really special here. It doesn't get any better than this. We hope to be back very soon.

We stayed at Como Maalifushi in early April, as a family of three in a water villa. From the moment we stepped in to the arrival hall at Male airport, to the moment we were seen through the departure security back at the airport, this holiday was perfect in every way. This will be a short review as our experience of everything was the same - amazing. Rooms - the water villas are huge, beautifully appointed, and to have steps down to the reef and your own infinity pool is an unrivalled luxury. Food - we ate at both Madi and Tai on about an equal amount of occasions. The food is consistently excellent and really enjoyed indulging in the many forms of locally caught fish. Options for kids are great, and the staff are delightful. If I had one slight quibble, the optional dinner buffet available on some seemed felt a little lacking in value. We stuck to the a la carte menus as there was so many amazing options to work through. Being half-board we only had breakfast and dinner each day, which was absolutely plenty for us. The Island - just beautiful, paradise. Well kept grounds, an excellent house reef, complimented by stylish but low key architecture. Finally, the kids club was great - kind and welcoming staff with many scheduled activities, or happy to welcome unscheduled arrivals for a short change of scenery (or if Mum and Dad have popped off diving). Speaking of which, the dive shop is great, and we were superbly looked after on a well appointed dive boat. The diving was excellent. This was the best holiday we’ve ever been on. Thank you Como Maalifushi - you were perfect in every way.

We were delighted with the Como Maalifuhi notel. We liked everything. The stay in the villa, the food, the service at the proper level. We would Iike to express special gratitude to our butler Citti, she was always in touch and fulfilled all our wishes, keeping a certain intrigue. We would also like to note the high professionalism and care for guests of the restaurant staff and especially the waiter Putri. Particularly unforgettable was the birthday we celebrated on a private island, with the bonus of a delicious lunch and birthday cake. This is an unforgettable experience! We dream of visiting this wonderful hotel again. Igor and Yelena Kazakhstan
