Komandoo

Snorkelling & Diving: The House Reef

Komandoo’s house reef is a gentle giant. It starts where the sand ends, a shallow coral garden that slopes into deeper water. Snorkellers can wade in from the beach at any hour—no boat, no guide, no fuss. The reef is home to parrotfish, butterflyfish, and the occasional green turtle gliding past the seagrass. Visibility is usually clear, especially in the morning before the wind picks up.

For divers, the resort’s PADI centre offers daily trips to nearby sites in Lhaviyani Atoll. Expect swim-throughs, small caves, and reefs patrolled by reef sharks. The dive team keeps groups small, so you’ll have the reef almost to yourself. Night dives are a highlight; the reef transforms after dark, with lobsters, moray eels, and sleeping parrotfish tucked into coral crevices.

• House reef accessible from the beach—no boat required
• Snorkel gear provided free of charge
• PADI 5-Star dive centre on-site
• Daily boat dives to Lhaviyani Atoll sites
• Night dives available

Overwater Spa: Treatments Above the Lagoon

Komandoo’s spa is a wooden pavilion perched on stilts above the lagoon. The treatment rooms are open on three sides, so the breeze carries the scent of frangipani and saltwater. Therapists use organic oils infused with local ingredients—coconut, lime, and pandan leaves. The signature massage blends Swedish strokes with Maldivian coconut oil, designed to ease tension while the sound of waves lulls you into stillness.

Couples can book side-by-side treatments in the overwater suite. The room has a glass floor, so you can watch fish drift below while the therapist works. Afterward, you can step onto the private deck and dip into the lagoon for a post-massage float.

Water Sports & Excursions

Komandoo’s all-inclusive package covers a range of water sports, so you can try something new each day without reaching for your wallet. Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are lined up on the beach, ready for lagoon exploration. The resort’s catamaran is well suited to sunset sails; the crew will pack a cooler with sparkling wine and canapés.

For something more adventurous, the excursions team arranges fishing trips, dolphin cruises, and sandbank picnics. The dolphin cruise is a favourite—spinner dolphins often leap alongside the boat at dawn, their arcs silver in the early light. Sandbank picnics are another highlight: the team sets up a shaded cabana, a grill, and a spread of grilled fish, salads, and tropical fruit on a tiny island that appears only at low tide.

• Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards included in all-inclusive
• Sunset catamaran sails with drinks and canapés
• Dolphin cruises at dawn
• Sandbank picnics with grilled fish and tropical fruit

Romantic Touches for Couples

Komandoo is designed for couples who want to reconnect. The Jacuzzi Water Villas are the most sought-after; each has a private deck with a sunken tub that overlooks the lagoon. The resort can arrange in-villa dining—imagine breakfast delivered by boat, or a candlelit dinner set up on your deck while the tide laps beneath you.

A good rule: who choose Komandoo to book a private sandbank dinner. The team will ferry you to a secluded island, set up a table on the sand, and serve a multi-course meal under the stars. The only light comes from lanterns and the moon, and the only sound is the waves. It's a property that makes the Maldives feel like a private paradise.

• Jacuzzi Water Villas with private lagoon views
• In-villa dining available
• Private sandbank dinners under the stars
• Candlelit deck dinners arranged on request
• Sunset photography sessions included
