Komandoo Island Resort & Spa, 65 beach and water villas for adults only, from 18, in Lhaviyani Atoll, 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé
A week here, month by monthKomandoo suits couples and honeymooners who want an island without children and a house reef a few metres off the beach, from $748 a night for 2 adults, the lowest price any seller showed on Google for one night; the resort’s own listing showed $1,051 for 7 October 2026, read on 6 October. Anyone after a private pool may prefer elsewhere: no villa has one.
Official websiteDoes it suit you?
5 pairs of hotels, and the guide tells you whether this one suits you.
I would ask for a Premium Jacuzzi Beach Villa for quiet and an easy reef: 71 m² on the sunrise beach, away from the main facilities, where the house reef is shallow and gently sloping.
Read on 12 October 2026, the calendar shows 7 nights from $748 to $790 for 14–20 December 2026. The dearest week, 28 January to 3 February 2027, runs from $1,351 to $1,740 a night.
The seaplane is not in the villa rate: Booking.com lists $400 per adult, round trip, from 14 September 2026. Luggage above 20 kilos checked and 5 in the cabin costs $5 a kilo, subject to 17% GST.
Every guest is offered a free 30-minute photo shoot with Pix Maldives, the resort’s photographers; it has to be reserved ahead, so I would book it early in the stay.
Komandoo opened in 1998 on an island 500 metres long and 200 wide, about 10 hectares, in Lhaviyani Atoll, and it is the only resort on it. It admits adults only, from 18. Its 65 villas come in 5 types, 3 on the beach and 2 on stilts over the lagoon, from 55 to 88 m²; every one has a four-poster king bed, and 4 of the 5 a 2-person jacuzzi. Crown & Champa Resorts runs it, with its sister islands Kuredu and Hurawalhi in the same atoll.
The days turn on the sea and the table. The fringing reef starts a few metres off the beach, beyond the lagoon, and a hawksbill turtle can be seen there almost every time, the resort writes; from November to March mantas gather at nearby Fushivaru. Falhu, the buffet with a sand floor, changes theme every night, and Aqua serves à la carte dinners on stilts over the water. Of the 265 Google reviews with text, 95% of those discussing the location are positive, and 95% of those discussing the staff and services.
It pays to read the meal plan before booking. The all-inclusive plan pours house drinks by the glass and gives one dinner at Aqua every 5 nights, while diving, excursions and private dinners are paid on top. No villa has a private pool, and anyone who wants one will be happier elsewhere; the website prints no spa prices.
Lumina Guide 2027
Komandoo is a 10-hectare adults-only island, open since 1998 in Lhaviyani Atoll, where couples come back year after year for the reef a few metres off the beach, Falhu’s sand-floored buffet and the staff.
How we choose the hotelsWhat we found reading the hotel’s own pages, one thing at a time.
40 minutes by seaplane; the house reef off the beach and the manta season at Fushivaru nearby.
A barefoot island of 10 hectares, adults only, with 2 bars and a sand-floored buffet.
5 types from 55 to 88 m², 4 with a jacuzzi and none with a pool; every one has a four-poster king bed.
A buffet guests praise and Aqua over the water; the all-inclusive gives Aqua once every 5 nights.
Duniye Spa with Asian therapists and organic products; no published prices, sauna or steam room.
Google: $823 to $1,731 a night for 2, taxes included, from October 2026 to January 2027; seaplane extra.
A badge is an experience travellers look for, that is really here and that few hotels in the guide have.
The first of the guide

Every hotel with this badgeWhat do Komandoo’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests write of the reef off the beach, the turtles they meet there and the quiet of a small island without children.
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests write of the jacuzzi, the beach at the villa door and housekeeping twice a day.
Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests write of the waiter who looks after a couple for the whole stay, of the housekeeping and of the dive centre.
Breakfast is Falhu’s buffet, from 8 to 10.30am, on the sand floor or on the deck over the lagoon.

The scores come from 265 Google reviews with text, left from 19 September 2012 to 2 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Lhaviyani Atoll: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 6 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in Lhaviyani Atoll:
Price: for two on the night of 14 December 2026, from $748 (seen on Google Hotels on 12 October 2026).
The lowest seller on Google showed $756 to $1,073 a night for 2 adults from 1 May to 6 September 2027, against $1,159 to $1,753 from 27 December 2026 to 29 March 2027. I would look at May to August 2027 for the lowest prices, then check the same dates again before booking.
| Period | Dollars a night |
|---|---|
| 13 Oct to 21 Nov 2026 | 869–1,731 |
| 26 Nov to 26 Dec 2026 | 748–1,280 |

| 30 Mar to 30 Apr 2027 | 1,110–1,118 |
| 1 May to 6 Sep 2027 | 756–1,073 |
The lowest price any seller showed on Google Hotels for one night searched alone, for 2 adults, read on 12 October 2026; no room or meal plan is specified. Some stretches have no price: 17 to 24 October and 5 to 14 November 2026, and 2 to 15 March 2027. The dearest night shown is $1,753 on 1 March 2027, and the calendar stops on 6 September 2027.
Hurawalhi, Komandoo’s sister island in the same atoll, is also adults-only, reached by the same seaplane, and has an undersea restaurant. Atmosphere Kanifushi, also in Lhaviyani, sells a broad all-inclusive plan on a long beach, for couples who accept a larger island with children.
Lowest one-night price for 2 adults in 7–13 December 2026, read on Google on 12 October 2026, and for Hurawalhi a day later, on 13 October 2026; room and meal plan unspecified.
Dinner on stilts at Aqua, an organic spa among the trees and the reef a few strokes from the beach.
Falhu, the main restaurant at the island's western end, serves 3 buffets a day on a sand floor, with 6 live-cooking stations and a different theme every night, from Maldivian to seafood. Aqua, on stilts over the lagoon on the sunset side, serves à la carte surf and turf from 7 to 10pm, barefoot; tables are few, and the website advises booking soon after arrival.
Thai, Indian and Balinese therapists work with chemical-free organic products and Asian techniques: Balinese, Thai and Oriental massage, a ritual with island coconut and couples' treatments with champagne. The spa page gives 8am to 10pm, with a $25 surcharge outside those hours; the menu online, from 2022, says 10am to 8pm and prints no prices.
Baby blacktip sharks, stingrays and hawksbill turtles live in the lagoon, and the fringing reef begins a few metres beyond it, with branching, brain and table corals, morays and eagle rays. In May 2026 a guest swam with 3 turtles on the sunrise side, the calmer one, and watched eagle rays pass the pool at about 5.30pm.
The seaplane is extra and flies in daylight only. The official page sends you to the booking engine for its price; Booking.com, read on 3 October 2026, gives $400 per adult return from 14 September 2026. Anyone landing in Malé too late for the last flight, usually about 4pm, sleeps in Malé at their own expense.
All-Inclusive Plus covers the 3 buffets at Falhu, house drinks poured one glass at a time and the minibar, but only one dinner at Aqua every 5 nights, with 20% off the rest of its menu. Diving, excursions, room service, private dinners and 5.8 Undersea are paid on top, and everyone in the villa must be on the same plan.
Adults only, strictly: the fact sheet admits guests from 18, Booking.com sets 18 as the minimum check-in age, and there are no cots or extra beds. Guests describe a quiet island, with live music, a DJ some nights and a weekly Maldivian cultural evening at Kandu Bar.
No villa has its own pool: 4 of the 5 types have a 2-person jacuzzi, and the shared freshwater infinity pool is beside Kandu Bar. From the water villas the main restaurant and the pool are a 6-minute walk, as the resort itself writes.
The north-east monsoon, from November to April, brings the clearest skies, and the manta season runs from November to March; from May to October the weather is less settled. The side of the island matters, for the wind and the sea, and it is worth choosing with the season in mind: in May and August 2026, 2 guests found the sunrise side calmer and more sheltered.

On 3 October 2026 Google showed 4.8/5 from 452 ratings. The figures by theme come from all 265 reviews with text, from September 2012 to October 2026, 29 of them written since January 2025: 244 give 5 stars, and several thank by name the waiter who served them every evening. They are accounts of stays we have not verified.
6 stays described on Google between March 2025 and September 2026.
GoogleIn September 2026 a guest back for the second time recommends the private barbecue on the beach: extra, outside the all-inclusive, and worth every cent. The island, they write, is for a restful holiday, and the wrong place for anyone looking for parties or children.
GoogleIn August 2026 a couple spent 10 days in a villa on the east side, sheltered from the wind, with turquoise water; they felt they had the island to themselves. Their advice: carry a torch at night, so as not to tread on the crabs and shells on the paths.
GoogleIn May 2026 a couple on the all-inclusive plan, in a water villa, swam with 3 turtles on the sunrise side and watched eagle rays pass the pool every day at about 5.30pm. Their seaplane landed at Kuredu, and a speedboat took them on.
GoogleIn January 2026 a couple in a Beach Villa found the house reef in front of the resort perfect for snorkelling, the food varied, and recommend at least one dinner at Aqua; what they remember most is the staff.
GoogleIn December 2025 a couple who spent 10 days on the island found the rooms a little dated, and the service, food and cleanliness faultless. They advise choosing the villa by season, for the wind and the sea.
GoogleIn March 2025 a couple on their third stay gave one star: €18,000 for 10 days, an island and rooms they found poorly kept, a veranda with no roof in the rain and a cancelled return flight they learnt of only on the island.
What people ask before booking Komandoo, with answers from sources read between 3 and 6 October 2026.
A 5-star resort, as Google Hotels lists it, run by Crown & Champa Resorts and the only one on the island of Komandoo, in Lhaviyani Atoll. The official 2026 fact sheet counts 65 villas on an island 500 metres long and 200 wide, about 10 hectares, and admits adults only, from 18; the resort opened in 1998, according to its 25th anniversary article.
Its sister islands are Kuredu, larger and open to families, and Hurawalhi, home of the 5.8 Undersea Restaurant. In 2024 the Travel Trade Maldives awards named Komandoo the best adults-only resort, as its awards page records.
5 types, according to the villa pages and the fact sheet. On the beach: Beach Villa, 55 m²; Jacuzzi Beach Villa, 71 m², with a 2-person jacuzzi and a daybed on the deck; Premium Jacuzzi Beach Villa, 71 m², on the sunrise beach. Over the water: Jacuzzi Water Villa, 88 m², with steps into the sea; Ocean Jacuzzi Water Villa, 88 m², with a catamaran net on the deck. All take up to 3 adults; the website does not say how many of the 65 villas belong to each type.
Every villa has a four-poster king bed, a wooden floor, air conditioning and a ceiling fan, a minibar and wine fridge, a Nespresso machine, a Bluetooth soundbar, a rain shower and Wi-Fi; Booking.com, on 3 October 2026, lists a queen bed in every type. None has a private pool.
In the north of Lhaviyani Atoll, 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé, according to the official transfer page; the Google listing gives only «Lhaviyani Atoll, Maldives Islands». Kuredu and Hurawalhi, its sister islands, are in the same atoll, and the Fushivaru marine reserve, known for its mantas, is nearby.
Guests describe it as a very quiet island: no children, and evenings of live music, a film or a DJ at Kandu Bar. The water sports page offers non-motorised sports on the island and a wider range on request; the fact sheet lists jet-skis, water-skiing and parasailing, and the festive programme a jet ski at $210 for an hour.
By seaplane, about 40 minutes from Velana airport with Trans Maldivian Airways, according to the official transfer page. It is not included in the villa rate, and the website gives its price only in the booking engine; Booking.com shows $400 per adult return from 14 September 2026, and a private chartered domestic flight at $9,500.
Seaplanes fly in daylight, between about 6am and 6pm, and the last one to Komandoo usually leaves by about 4pm: anyone landing later sleeps in Malé at their own cost. The allowance is 20 kg checked and 5 kg hand luggage per person, with $5 for each extra kilo plus 17% GST. In May 2026 one guest's seaplane landed at Kuredu, and a speedboat covered the last stretch.
No: Komandoo is an island reached by seaplane, with sandy paths and no roads, and guests walk it barefoot. The Google Hotels card lists «Parking» among its amenities, but no page of the resort mentions a car park, and there is nowhere to drive.
From the beach, which runs for a kilometre around the island according to the fact sheet, straight in front of the beach villas; the water villas have steps from the deck down into the lagoon. The lagoon is a nursery for baby sharks and stingrays, as the resort's 2022 article puts it.
Guests in 2026 recommend the east side, the sunrise one, as calmer and more sheltered from the wind; a guest in December 2025 advises choosing the side by season. Kayaks and windsurf boards are on the all-inclusive plan.
Yes. The resort’s April 2025 article puts the fringing reef a few metres from the beach, beyond the lagoon, with branching, brain and table corals, parrotfish, morays and spotted eagle rays; a 2019 article says a hawksbill turtle can be spotted there almost every time. In front of the Premium Jacuzzi Beach Villas the reef is shallow and gently sloping.
Snorkel gear is rented at the Prodivers centre, according to the snorkelling page, and the all-inclusive plan includes only a half-hour group lesson, equipment not included. Fins are a must and nobody should snorkel alone; from November to March mantas gather at nearby Fushivaru.
One shared pool: the freshwater infinity pool overlooking the beach, beside Kandu Bar, according to the fact sheet and the bars page. No villa has its own pool; 4 of the 5 types have a 2-person jacuzzi, outdoors on the beach villas' patio and inside the Ocean Jacuzzi Water Villas.
The website gives neither a temperature nor opening hours for the infinity pool. The sustainability report says hot water is solar-heated in every villa except the water villas; in May 2026 a guest found the pool very warm, and saw eagle rays pass it at about 5.30pm every day.
According to the dining page and the fact sheet: Falhu, the buffet with a sand floor, 150 seats inside and 75 outside, breakfast 8 to 10.30am, lunch 1 to 2.30pm and dinner 7.30 to 9.30pm, with a different theme each night; Aqua, à la carte over the lagoon on the sunset side, dinner 7 to 10pm; Kandu Bar by the pool, with snacks, and Thundi Bar on the beach.

Swimwear is not allowed in the restaurants, and men cover their shoulders.
On 7 October 2026 the official website sold 2 plans on Google Hotels: full board at $1,051 a night for 2, and All-Inclusive Plus at $1,335. The All-Inclusive Plus brochure for winter 2025–2026 and summer 2026 covers the 3 buffets at Falhu, afternoon tea from 3 to 6pm at Kandu Bar, house wines, draught beer, house spirits and cocktails by the glass, the minibar refilled once a day, half a bottle of champagne per stay, a sunset cruise, a group snorkelling lesson and a windsurfing one, kayaks and the gym.

Room service, excursions, diving, premium drinks and fresh juices are extra, and everyone in the room must be on the plan.
Duniye Spa takes a natural approach, with Thai, Indian and Balinese therapists, chemical-free organic products and Asian massage techniques. The website gives no floor area, number of rooms or list of zones, and no official page mentions a sauna, a steam room or a hydrotherapy pool; Booking.com lists a spa lounge and relaxation area, and Expedia couples' rooms.
The menu, from 2022, runs from massages (Balinese, Thai, Oriental, aromatherapy, deep-tissue) to organic facials, Reiki, a sound bath with singing bowls and rituals for 2 such as Full Moon Magic, 135 minutes; there is also a beauty corner for hair, make-up and nails.
Treatments are paid for. The menu says its prices include GST, 17% since 1 July 2025 (MIRA, read on 15 October 2026), and a 10% service charge, but prints none of them; All-Inclusive Plus guests get 20% off selected treatments taken in their first 2 days, and the festive programme sells a 105-minute couples' ritual at $400.
No page publishes a day pass or spa access for anyone not staying, and the island is reached only by seaplane or boat. Treatments are booked on arrival or in the Komandoo app, or bought in advance as packages in the resort's online gift shop.
The spa page gives 8am to 10pm, with treatments outside those hours at a $25 surcharge; the menu published in 2022 says 10am to 8pm. Shower first and arrive 15 minutes early; cancelling within 6 hours costs 50%, and a no-show the full price.

The menu prints no prices. The published ones are seasonal: in the festive programme for 2026–2027 the Festive Luminous Serenity ritual for 2, 105 minutes, costs $400, and on 28 December treatments are 35% off from 10am to 1pm.
No: Komandoo admits guests from 18, according to the fact sheet and the adults-only page, and Booking.com sets 18 as the minimum check-in age, with no cots or extra beds. There is no kids' club.
The resort writes for honeymooners, couples, friends and solo travellers. For a family, Kuredu, its sister island in the same atoll, takes children.

Yes, in a symbolic ceremony on the beach, as the weddings page calls it: a bouquet, hair and make-up for the bride, bodu beru drummers, the rings on a shell cushion, a 2-tier cake, a certificate and a wooden plaque. The wedding brochure on the site, from 2018, prices the package at $880; the dinner on the beach and the next day's champagne breakfast are extra.
The website gives no capacity for events and does not say whether a legally binding marriage can be held; the resort has a wedding coordinator, and the page gives the island's adults-only rule as the reason couples choose it.
Yes. The festive programme runs from 23 December 2026 to 1 January 2027; on 31 December it has a cocktail reception on the beach from 6.30pm, the gala buffet dinner with live music at Falhu from 8 to 10pm, a DJ and fire juggling on the Kandu deck and the countdown at 11.55pm. The brochure gives no price for the gala and does not say it is compulsory, and Booking.com, on 3 October 2026, lists no supplement for it.
Christmas Eve has its own gala dinner at Falhu from 8pm, after a cocktail reception with carols; extras such as the Wine & Dine dinner on the beach, $425 per couple, are paid for.
Not on Komandoo. The excursions page offers a trip to the sister island of Kuredu, with a driving range, a 6-hole par-3 course and a putting green; it publishes no golf package or green fee.
All year: the weather page calls the Maldives a year-round destination, and no official page announces a closure. On Google Hotels, read on 6 October 2026, 83 of the 117 nights from 7 October 2026 to 31 January 2027 had a price; the other 34, such as 12 to 15 October and 5 to 14 November, showed no rate, which does not mean the resort was closed.
The steadiest weather comes with the north-east monsoon, from November to April; the weather page names March to May as the finest months, a 2018 article February to April, and the 2026 offer November to April. Mantas gather from November to March.
On Google Hotels, read on 6 October 2026, for 2 adults and one night, taxes and fees included: $823 on 7 October 2026, $869 on 16 October, $1,731 on 27 October, $869 on 3 November, $1,219 on 15 November, $823 on 5 December, $916 on 24 December, $1,498 on 31 December, $1,597 on 13 January 2027 and $1,510 on 31 January 2027.

In the 265 Google reviews with text, 95% of those discussing the location and the staff are positive, and 91% of those discussing the villas. The praise goes to the reef off the beach, Falhu’s buffet and the waiter who looks after a couple for the whole stay. Guests mention the house wines included in the all-inclusive, drinks excluded from the plan and the seaplane, which costs extra and flies only in daylight. 3 reviews, between March 2025 and October 2026, describe rooms that show their age or are not well kept.
On 7 October 2026 the official website's listing on Google Hotels showed $1,051 for a night on full board, $253 of it taxes and fees, and the 2026 offer quotes its prices «incl. taxes and fees».
