Komandoo Island Resort & Spa
Where endless turquoise waters meet ribbons of white sand, and days drift by in rhythm with the tides, Komandoo Island Resort & Spa is the Maldives distilled to its most romantic essence. Exclusively for adults, this award-winning hideaway in the Lhaviyani Atoll blends barefoot charm with refined sophistication, creating a setting where couples and honeymooners can escape into their own private world.
Reaching Komandoo is part of the journey’s allure. Guests may choose between a 40-minute scenic seaplane flight from Malé — the quintessential Maldivian arrival — or a 35-minute domestic flight to Madivaru followed by a speedboat transfer across the atoll. Naturally, we arrange every detail, ensuring your arrival is as seamless as it is memorable.
The island itself is intimate — just 500 metres by 200 — yet feels wonderfully expansive thanks to the encircling lagoon and a kilometre of soft, powdery beach. With only 65 villas, the mood is unhurried and personal, and with a strict 18+ policy, the focus is firmly on romance, privacy, and the art of slowing down.
Every villa is created to immerse you in the Maldivian dream — waking to ocean views so close you can hear the tide, and stepping from your deck straight onto sand or into the lagoon. Beach Villas sit just steps from the shore, shaded by palms and perfectly placed for sunset. Jacuzzi Beach Villas add an indulgent whirlpool under the stars, while Premium Jacuzzi Beach Villas occupy the island’s most coveted sunrise-facing positions. Suspended over the lagoon, Jacuzzi Water Villas let you descend directly into the Indian Ocean, while the Ocean Jacuzzi Water Villas add catamaran nets stretched above the water — a perfect spot for basking in the sun or stargazing with the sea beneath you.
The freshwater infinity pool overlooks the lagoon, perfect for languid afternoons, while ProDivers’ on-site PADI 5-Star centre unlocks some of the Maldives’ most pristine reefs and dive sites. Snorkelling with manta rays, drift dives through coral channels, and excursions to neighbouring reefs reveal the atoll’s dazzling marine life. For something truly unforgettable, guests can take a short speedboat across to sister resort Hurawalhi and dine at 5.8 Undersea Restaurant — an otherworldly culinary experience, 5.8 metres beneath the lagoon’s surface, where a ballet of tropical fish drifts past as you savour each course.
Dining at Komandoo itself is equally memorable. Falhu Restaurant serves international and Maldivian flavours buffet-style under thatched roofs at the water’s edge, while Aqua, the overwater à la carte restaurant, elevates evenings with fine seafood, prime cuts, and inspired vegetarian and vegan options. Kandu Bar and Thundi Bar complete the experience, whether you’re sipping cocktails at sunset or enjoying a quiet nightcap under the stars. For something more intimate, private beach dinners and in-villa dining are always possible.
The Duniye Spa adds a restorative layer to the stay, combining holistic therapies with ocean breezes and organic, chemical-free products. Whether it’s a Balinese massage at sunset or a soothing ritual after a day’s diving, treatments here are both grounding and indulgent.
As dusk settles, the island feels like the edge of the world. The sky melts into shades of rose and violet, the horizon scattered with tiny islands glowing like lanterns. Nights here are pure theatre — cocktails against an endless sea view, starlight reflected on the water, and the seductive sense that there is nowhere else you need to be.
Why Book Komandoo?
Because this is the Maldives at its most intimate and romantic: an adult-only island where villas open to lagoon or beach, dining ranges from barefoot buffets to the world’s largest undersea restaurant, and service balances warmth with discretion. This is a retreat where every moment feels like it belongs only to you — perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or simply escaping together to the most romantic stage in the Indian Ocean.
