Como Maalifushi Maldives, Maalifushi Island
Resort / Maldives / Completed In 2013
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The first luxury resort in the Maldives to open in the pristine Thaa Atoll, the Como Maalifushi dots the Indian Ocean with overwater villas and beach suites. The hotel’s underrated style encapsulate the spirit of the ocean that surrounds it with a barefoot chic narrative throughout.
Accommodations reference indigenous architecture while remaining elegantly pared back to reflect the island's calming surroundings. Overwater suites and villas were created with wooden walkways that stand about the shallow lagoon – amalgamating the ocean and rooms into one. Each suite has its own private terrace for slipping into the sea, while garden rooms benefit from being set into the island’s tropical heart.
The hotel has been honored with some of the industry’s more prestigious awards, including Condé Nast Traveler’s U.S. Hot List, U.K. Hot List and China’s Hot List; Travel + Leisure IT List in Southeast Asia and China; Best New Luxury Hotel by Luxury Travel Intelligence and the Five Star Alliance Best New Hotel award.
