There are many private islands in Maldives, but only very few of them are truly private, owned by one person. Velaa Private Island is such a case. The owner, Jiri Smejc, has spent countless weeks in Maldives both on holidays and while taking his business trips from Europe to Asia.

The islands became his true passion: many of them being beautiful, but each of them coming short on some part of the visitor experience he valued. That’s why he decided to build the Velaa Private Island.

An island meeting his ideas what a luxurious private resorts hould be. An island keeping a real privacy for its guests but at the same time versatile enough to provide number of first-class enjoyment opportunities. After all, the owner is the one who will spend most time on the island and wants to enjoy it for years, not only for a week or two.

Thoughtfully designed and thoroughly tested, our villas were conceived as a place of effortless comfort and perfect escape. Amongst the largest in the islands, our private residences were designed with endless space to share your most meaningful occasions.

NIKA RESIDENCE BY PATRICIA URQUIOLA
Accommodating up to 10 guests, Nika offers the ultimate designer beach villa retreat. Vertical wall panels have been crafted with materials such as raffia and natural wood, and earthy textiles facilitate a natural indoor and outdoor flow.

The design creates a warm, yet stylish atmosphere, arranged with hand-crafted, minimalistic furniture pieces; a sprawling 5 meter dining table cut from two pieces of rare black marble slab; and positioned beneath a stunning, beaded Craaft chandelier.

VELAA PRIVATE RESIDENCE
Perched on a private beach, this family-size residence offers elegant, contemporary design and 1,350 square meters of usable interior and exterior space—including two terraces, an infinity pool and a dramatic courtyard.

Carefully curated interiors have been arranged with privacy in mind – each of the four bedrooms face the ocean. Two have generous balconies and two open onto the pool with indoor and outdoor bathrooms connected by a garden atrium. The large private beach is flanked by twin gazebos ideal for dining, relaxing and entertaining. Behind the living area, a gym and spa room offer a quiet space to retire.

COMO Maalifushi is the first and only resort to open on the unspoilt Thaa Atoll, in the archipelago’s southern reaches well regarded for its diving and surf breaks.

Its culturally appropriate architecture includes low-lying garden and overwater villas, with views of white beach, tropical greenery and cobalt lagoon. Guests can also enjoy yoga and holistic Asian therapies at the COMO Shambhala Retreat, with the entire guest experience defined by COMO’s exacting, passionate service.

Welcoming, passionate staff help make our luxury Maldives hotel stand apart, along with comprehensive facilities available to anyone staying with us overnight.

This is the first boutique hotel in the Maldives by Japanese architect Koichiro Ikebuchi, whose sensitive approach to nature and respect for cultural authenticity is reflected in COMO Maalifushi’s uncomplicated, succinct design.

Accommodation includes 33 overwater villas and suites and 32 rooms, villas, suites and residences amid lush tropical vegetation. All are built with New Zealand pine with Kajan thatched roofs.

Floor-to-ceiling windows open to substantial decks. Décor further brings the sea, sand and sky into the heart of every room, which have high-raftered ceilings and teak floors.

The Maldives has a consistent temperature of about 86°F (30°C). The tropical islands have two distinct seasons, or monsoons. April, a transitional time between the monsoons, is known for the clear water, which is appealing to divers.

The iruvai (northeast monsoon) is hot and dry and runs from December to April, making this the official high season. Rain is more likely from May to November (during hulghangu, or southwest monsoon), making this the official low season.

However, this is also a time when underwater visibility on the western side of the atolls is at its best. Surfing is particularly good during the official low season, from May to November.

ACCOMMODATION
Our Maldives resort accommodation references indigenous architecture while remaining elegantly pared back to reflect the island’s calming setting. Our overwater suites and villas are built off wooden walkways that stand above the shallow lagoon.

Each has its own private terrace for slipping into the sea, while our garden rooms benefit from being set in the island’s tropical heart. The views are consistently spectacular: either lush gardens, where children can play, or directly out to the watery expanse.

COMO VILLAS
The two-bedroom overwater COMO Villa sits above the lagoon and has a large pool. The COMO Villa also comes with its own private pool and butler, making this COMO Maalifushi’s ultimate luxury experience, with two large bedrooms suitable for two couples sharing, as well as families.

MAALIFUSHI WATER VILLA
This is one of COMO Maalifushi’s most spectacular over-water villas: an oversized, two-bedroom, light-filled bungalow, which sits on its own secluded jetty, featuring a private pool and sundeck.

MAALIFUSHI BEACH VILLA
Made up of two sleek, comfortable bedrooms (two doubles), the accommodation offers sunrise views out over an endless ocean. It features a private lawn and swimming pool with space for al fresco dining and a full butler service.

GARDEN ROOMS
Our Garden Rooms are located in the centre of the island, shaded by the resort’s tropical greenery and just a short foot-in-the-sand walk to all the resort’s amenities including the COMO Shambhala Retreat and restaurants.

They have an open-plan feel, and come with an outdoor deck and furniture for al fresco dining. Garden Rooms interconnecting with each other are available on request.

DINING AND CUISINE
At COMO Maalifushi, we rely on the same principles: local seafood that’s so fresh, we serve it as sushi and sashimi at our Japanese restaurant, Tai, as well as organic produce rendered in healthy, all-day dining at Madi, Thila, and on our COMO Shambhala menus.

Flexibility is key, our chefs always aim to accommodate food intolerances, the preferences of children, and discerning palates full of expectation.

MADI
Madi (meaning Manta Ray in the local Dhivehi language) serves light, flavourful food that takes its inspiration from the region’s fresh, tropical produce and abundant seafood. The menu boasts a range of local, Mediterranean and international dishes served throughout the day, from breakfast to late evening.

Madi also holds three themed nights each week. On Monday night the ‘Taste of the Indian Ocean’ explores the area’s characteristic sweet, sour hot and salty flavours, with traditional Maldivian Boduberu dancing and drumming.

Wednesday dinners are Thai, showcasing a culinary journey through the region’s most popular dishes. The week ends with a seafood barbeque on Friday night, dining beneath the stars to the sound of live music from local musicians.

TAI
‘Tai’ (Japanese for red snapper), which is a celebratory fish in Japanese culture, showcases sustainable caught seafood from the Indian Ocean. There is also a cocktail bar offering stunning views of the Maldivian sunset.

THILA
Thila is named after rock formations in the Maldives that are covered with abundant marine life. As a place to congregate, it inspires our informal Maldives restaurant and pool bar where guests can come to chill out.

Food at Thila is easygoing and family-friendly, with salads, freshly cooked seafood and pizzas. Laid-back music, pool tables and an open-air pool bar with ocean views make Thila the relaxed and vibrant heart of island life on COMO Maalifushi. Pizza Cabana is open daily from 12.00pm to 6.00pm.

PRIVATE DINING
At COMO Maalifushi you can find a place for the most memorable of meals, from intimate gourmet meals on the deck of your villa to picnics and candlelit dinners on the beach. The nearby uninhabited islands can be yours as the sun sets and rises, with chef-prepared meals served by private butlers.

FAMILY CASTAWAY PICNIC
Swim, sunbathe, nap and make memories as a family with our castaway picnic. However you spend your time, waiting for you on the shoreline will be a gourmet picnic prepared by our chefs. A selection of different snacks can be found, with sweet treats for younger ones and a minibar for the adults.

FLOATING BREAKFAST

COMO SHAMBHALA CUISINE
COMO Shambhala Cuisine is a unique nutritional concept that incorporates organic ingredients rich in living enzymes, vitamins and sea minerals while still delivering on flavor. Food is raw, steamed or grilled for maximum health benefits.

Chefs also make ample use of the tandoor, a type of Indian oven that allows for fat-free cooking whilst introducing a wonderful charcoal flavor. COMO Shambhala Cuisine is served at Madi, in-room dining, and private dining located at nearby uninhabited islands.

IN-ROOM DINING
In-room dining at COMO Maalifushi includes salads, pastas and refreshing juices and is available 24 hours.

WELLNESS
Our COMO Shambhala Retreat at COMO Maalifushi in the Maldives goes hand-in-hand with the private island resort experience.

Eight double treatment pavilions are set over the water, with doors that open wide so you can relax on a massage bed or in our oversized bathtubs listening to the sound of the waves and the ocean breeze.

We have steam, sauna and Jacuzzi areas, as well as an open-air yoga pavilion located on the sunrise side of the island, with views of the Indian Ocean. We have a state-of-the-art fitness centre, as well as expert instruction in yoga, meditation, and core connection.

TURTLE EXPEDITION SNORKEL
A short briefing will be given about the turtle species around the island, followed by a 20-minute boat ride to a beautiful outer reef where you can see these gentle creatures, as well as other reef fish, in their natural habitat. Turtles are curious animals and will sometimes swim close to the boat.

SURFING
Several Maldivian atolls have coastlines that capture swells from numerous directions, giving consistently excellent surfing conditions. At COMO Maalifushi, we have partnered with luxury surf outfitters, Tropicsurf, for exciting adventures and teaching for all levels.

The ever-popular Farms area is a great starting point, with a contoured reef-corner that delivers mechanical-shaped waves ideal for many different styles of surfing.

For guests who want to see it all, our Surf Pass allows guests to embark on an expedition to the finest breaks and best-kept secrets of the region. Tropicsurf guides will escort you to secluded surfing at three atolls — The ‘Surf Machines’ at Laamu, ‘Farms’ at Thaa and the ‘Kasabu’ at Dhaalu.

Private boat charters can be tailored to meet your particular interests. Please note that if you would like to visit the nearest resort — which is one hour away from COMO Maalifushi — we require advance permission before confirming your trip.

CORAL PROPAGATION
In 1998 and 2016, the El Niño climate cycle resulted in particularly warm seas in the Indian Ocean, which bleached a large number of coral reefs surrounding COMO Maalifushi.

While there is still a plethora of untouched reefs to snorkel and dive in the immediate area, it is important for the local economy that all the islands’ coral flourishes.

Our Resident Marine Biologist has teamed up with Seamarc — a marine consultancy company — to plant new coral frames on the seafloor, which encourage new reefs to grow and prosper.

Guests at COMO Maalifushi can sponsor one of these frames, and track its progress via twice yearly photographic updates as well as complimentary guided dives every time they visit the resort.

SAILING LESSONS
The consistent sea breezes along COMO Maalifushi’s lagoon are ideal for sailing. Our TOPCAT K1 and K3 catamarans are lots of fun to sail. Book a sailing lesson to learn what it takes to operate a sailboat safely — these one-hour lessons are tailored to your ability level.

As they perform their majestic aquatic ballet, one feels the fascination for these elegant animals. The Maldives hosts the world’s largest population of manta rays. The lagoon surrounding the Maison is no exception and it is not uncommon to spot one of the ten manta rays identified by the team of the Dive Centre.

Just like our guests travelling from far away, mantas have their very own passport formed by a unique pattern of black spots on their body, allowing them to be easily identified. Fascinating!

CORAL PROTECTION
Diving and discovering the wonders of coral reefs is an experience one never forget thanks to their abundant marine life. Coral reefs are the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. The Dive Centre holds two hopeful projects to help protect the reefs. Thanks to a coral tree, the growth of 37 fragments of coral has been monitored and showed significant results.

Eleven of them have been transplanted to the reef Spa Island. Coral frames can also be found in different areas of the lagoon, some are being monitored to evaluate the bleaching. Others provide a new refuge for fishes.

SEAGRASS
Seagrass is the shelter of thousands of marine animals, providing food and a protected nursery. Even more fascinating, seagrass holds sediment together, preventing coastal erosion and plays a significant role in the fight of climate change.

Cheval Blanc Randheli recognises its multiples benefits and a protected area can be found between the Dive Centre and the White Bar. The area grew from a 900 m2 patch to the size of 1,330 m2! This successful project led to the opening of a new snorkelling trail to discover the beautiful marine life.

Hidden away in the northern reaches of the Maldives, JOALI is situated on Muravandhoo Island in the Raa Atoll, one of the largest and deepest in the world. The English word “atoll” comes from atholhu – a Dhivehi term used by early geographers to describe the region’s distinctive ring-shaped coral reefs, wrapped around tranquil lagoons.

Our art-immersive island resort is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, fringed by pearly beaches and surrounded by brilliant blue waters that boast vibrant marine life. We invite you to discover one of the most beautiful places on earth, resplendent with nature’s treasures.

The Maldives is the collective name for 1,190 tiny islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. Some are inhabited, while others are used largely for tourism and agriculture. Our host island of Muravandhoo is bordered by dreamy white beaches, a lush land of bountiful coconut palms and turquoise lagoons, brimming with exquisite marine life waiting to be discovered.

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
The Maldives is a unique place with a fragile ecosystem. From the tiniest sea creature to tallest palm tree, each living thing plays a vital role in the replenishing experience created by these islands.

Our resort was constructed keeping in mind the conservation of the natural environment as much as possible. Over a thousand trees were preserved, and they continue to share their abundant gifts with us each day.

After the devastating coral bleaching event of 2016, which saw up to 85 percent of the reefs in the Maldives die out, we have a responsibility to help these precious ecosystems rehabilitate and recover. At JOALI, we do this through our Reef Restoration Programme.

By using the two-step gardening concept, we grow corals of opportunity in a mid-water nursery for 9-12 months before planting them back on the reef. Our efforts are focused on increasing corals that show resilience to heat, the driver of coral bleaching, and ensuring healthy genetic diversity.

Dine on a secret menu, prepared by one of our chefs, in a secret, ever-changing location. There is no menu, with each dish tailored to your preferences. Our chef will reveal themselves only after the meal, to talk about the concept, ingredients and what inspired them. It is advised that guests book before 16:00 on Thursday.
