COMO Maalifushi

10/10 Excellent
"Best honeymoon vacation we could ever ask for! The staff were beyond welcoming and always going out of their way to assist us with anything we needed. The rooms were always spotless and cleaned twice a day. The island had an assortment of activities from snorkeling, romantic cruises, island exploration, floating breakfasts, spas/massages, and even a 24/7 gym. If you’re looking for a nice private/secluded island for your vacation then look no further! We’re already planning on going back for our future anniversaries. "
