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.
