About Komandoo Island Resort
About Komandoo Island Resort
Lying 40 minutes by seaplane from Male's international airport, Komandoo Island Resort and Spa offers an adventurous and romantic adults-only setting. This private island retreat is the perfect place to get away from it all, with a smattering of luxurious details and a stunning backdrop. Each villa is spacious, modern, and well-appointed, including everything you'll need to enjoy your stay. Komandoo's other exceptional guest facilities include an award-winning spa, fine dining and fancy cocktails over the water, sailing and power yacht charters, and a variety of sports facilities. Best of all, the resort is just minutes from some of Lhaviyani Atoll's best dive sites.
Lhaviyani Atoll is one of the Maldives’ most popular areas among divers. But, with far fewer resorts, you'll get to experience classic Maldivian channel and thila diving, without the crowds. Komandoo Island is perfectly located in the atoll's centre, with short boat rides to manta cleaning stations, shipwrecks, plus calm and protected coral reefs. In addition to guided day trips, this resort offers PADI dive courses, snorkelling, and watersports, including kayaking, parasailing, paddleboarding, and windsurfing. All of these adventurous activities include assistance and instruction from the island's friendly and helpful staff.

You'll feel perfectly at home in your spacious and modern villa each offering plenty of privacy and seclusion, and with just 65 villas on site, this is one of the atoll's cosiest options. Adventurous guests will love exploring the white-sand beaches, shaded garden paths, and stunning house reef just metres from the shore. This island's other outstanding facilities include a fitness centre, sports grounds, games room, and a wide variety of watersports including kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing, and yacht charter. Day trips to the resort's sister island Hurawalhi offer access to the world-famous 5.8 Undersea Restaurant.

Diving from Komandoo Resort
Komandoo Island Resort's partner dive centre, Prodivers Maldives, is one of the best. Their friendly international staff offers a variety of PADI courses on the stunning house reef including the dive scooter speciality. Each day's guided adventures hit two of the best sites in Lhaviyani Atoll, including Keredu Express and Felivaru Kandu - a busy manta cleaning station. Whether you're brand new to diving or a seasoned pro, you're sure to appreciate the dive centre's top-quality rental equipment and cameras, patient and professional crew, free nitrox for certified divers, and comfortable dive boats.
Lhaviyani Atoll is a favourite among scuba divers thanks to its variety of underwater environments. The atoll is ideal for trying your hand at channel and drift diving and visiting cleaning stations and thilas. Multiple shark species and reef manta rays frequent these current-swept sites with the best chances for an encounter falling between November and March - and there's plenty of relaxed reef diving suitable for beginners here, too. Lhaviyani Atoll's sheltered lagoon is home to an incredibly diverse collection of coral and fish species, plus fascinating macro wildlife. From Komandoo Island, you'll have access to over 60 sites with exciting offerings for divers of all skill and experience levels.
