Komandoo Island Resort & Spa

A Slice of Paradise – Perfect in Every Way! From the moment we arrived at Komandoo Resort, we were transported into a world of pure tranquility and luxury. The journey to the island was an adventure in itself, the seaplane gave us incredible views over the atoll and bright blue waters. As soon as we stepped off the boat, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that set the tone for the entire stay. We kicked off our shoes and left them off for the week! The staff were nothing short of incredible. Every single person we encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly couldn’t do enough to ensure our experience was perfect. The level of service was consistently excellent – thoughtful, efficient, and always with a smile. Whether it was to guide our snorkelling experience, coordinate our transport and meal reservations, to turn down our room or make delicious cocktails for sunset. Special mention must go to Adam, who went above and beyond. His attentiveness, kindness, and knowledge really elevated our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and he’s an excellent drummer too! The food was fantastic, especially the tandoori chicken, cooked to order naan and the local Maldivian selection. Every dining experience was delicious and the variety and quality were outstanding. The chefs clearly take great pride in their work. We treated ourselves to a spa treatment, and it did not disappoint. The setting was serene and smelled wonderful, the treatments were heavenly, and the therapists were great. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for a peaceful, luxurious getaway with outstanding service, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable experiences, look no further. This resort is a true gem in the Maldives, and we can’t wait to return.

This is our second time to this beautiful island and we are already looking at going back next year. It keeps getting better and better! Where do I begin?......The island is stunning and gives you the perfect Maldivian feel. From the minute you arrive you don't wear shoes and the atmosphere is so relaxed. The staff keep the island immaculately clean and the two bars and restaurant are amazing. The food is 5* the same as what you would get in a London restaurant. The choice is unbelievable and they cater so well for GF DF and V. The second restaurant Aqua if you get the chance to go, do it! The food goes up another level and the views are stunning. The accommodation is beautiful and they cater for everything, even aftersun. Housekeeping keep the rooms immaculate and every day you will have a new surprise of either a towel design, cookies or chocolates, together with your turndown service. The mini bar is well stocked with beer, wine, soft drinks, iced coffees etc and fresh water is always in your room. Air conditioning is brilliant and the bed, mattress and pillows are the amazing. However, the main thing about this island is the staff who they call Champions, and Champions they are. Their service is second to none, they are friendly, considerate and nothing is too much trouble. They treat you like family. The directors also come and check you are happy with everything and they are always about if you want to speak with them. Add fantastic snorkelling with sharks, rays, turtles and thousands of different fish, a stunning quiet swimming pool, well stocked gym, amazing cocktails, beautiful beach and the option of a spa and other excursions, all on one small island that takes you 20 mins to walk around, you could not ask for a more paradise holiday. We cant wait to return.

The most perfect place to unwind relax and recharge. It is a child free heaven on earth place. The rooms were spacious with big comfortable beds. Outside space was perfect with your own private bit of beach with your own sunbeds. Food was outstanding and loads of variety it was delicious. Snorkelling was outstanding and saw so much. If you want adult only peace and quiet this is the place for you.

Once in a lifetime trip we thought but have already booked again for next year and we have only been home 3 days. Food is outstanding. All resort staff go out of their way to make your time perfect. Everyone has a smile and good morning for you. The island is beyond beautiful. Even when it was fully booked you sometimes walked round and didn’t see another person. Best strawberry daiquiri I’ve ever had. I worried about the weather, but there wasn’t any need. It’s was gorgeous for the majority of our time. If there was the odd storm, even that was beautiful. Not enough words to describe what an amazing time we had. Counting the days til we return.

Having stayed on many different Islands but with the same company we found that Komandoo was lovely. The staff in particular were excellent, very attentive helpful without being overwhelming. Mini in reception was very good as were our room man who's name I can't recall (the very energetic Maldives lead dancer/singer) and Asim our waiter. The Island was beautifully kept and the accommodation was good. The reef was very good but not quite as good as before the coral bleaching problems but it did seem to be recovering. The food was next level, only problem we couldn't eat it all and have had to spend weeks in the gym when we got home. A common theme with guests at dinner time was make sure you go and get a freshly baked naan from the tandoori man he was a star. The little extras like the small treats left in the rooms was a nice touch. Late afternoon cocktails in the swimming pool a must or as I sometimes preferred a pot of tea. The bar staff were very good at this. Thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days break and hope to return again soon. Might even bring our sons next time (not sure if Komandoo will be ready for that)

Our 4th visit here, and it won’t be the last. It has a great atmosphere, with mainly British and German/Austrian/Swiss guest, who have a pleasant disposition, and always say hello when passing. I’ve been to 7 Islands, some I’d go back to some not- it does depend on where the clientele are from- as there are islands with Russian or Eastern European guests, who have a more surly outlook, and for me do not make those Islands welcoming. Komandoo is not for them - The diving here is great, especially the scooter diving, for those of us with experience- and the staff throughout the Island have never been bettered on any other Island I’ve been too, from the General Manager, to the grounds staff- they are superb. I am almost reluctant to post this, the more people I tell, the more difficult it is to get a booking!,
