An adults-only island in Lhaviyani Atoll built around a single lagoon and house reef, with its own Prodivers dive centre working roughly 50 local sites.
Komandoo is the only resort on its own island in Lhaviyani Atoll, a 40-minute seaplane from Malé and open to guests 18 and over. Sixty-five villas split across beachfront and overwater categories, an on-island Prodivers dive centre reaching roughly 50 sites, and a house reef close enough to snorkel from the beach define the stay on this ten-hectare island.
The entry category at 55 square metres, set back in the tree line among the fourteen Turtle and Coral villas, with a wooden porch as the only outdoor living space.
King bed — occupancy not itemised; confirm at booking · No private pool · Beachfront, in the tree line
The same beachfront layout as the Beach Villa, six villas at 71 square metres, with a two-person jacuzzi and a sundeck daybed added to the porch.

The factsheet
Every fact we hold on Komandoo Maldives (villas, dining, transfers) in one document.
Honeymoon amenities and bed decorations come as standard for couples marking a wedding or anniversary, and a complimentary Pix Maldives photoshoot is included with every stay — the island is built around two people, not groups.
Prodivers runs guided trips to around 50 sites from its own centre on the island, PADI 5-Star programmes included, while the lagoon and house reef sit close enough off the beach to snorkel without a boat.
The resort-wide minimum age of 18, with no kids' club or family villa category anywhere in the lineup, means the quiet Komandoo promises on paper is enforced as policy, not left to chance.

How do we get to Komandoo, and how long does it take?
Komandoo is a 40-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, the resort's only stated transfer route — no speedboat or domestic-flight alternative is given. Because there's no fallback route, IMJ times your international arrival directly against this connection rather than leaving it loose.
Is Komandoo adults-only?
Yes — Komandoo is an island resort exclusively for guests aged 18 and over, part of its 'Romantic & Tranquil Moments' positioning. There's no kids' club, family villa category or children's policy in the resort's materials, so it isn't a fit for a trip travelling with children.
What's included in the All-Inclusive Plus package?
All-Inclusive Plus bundles unlimited house-pour drinks and minibar snacks, afternoon tea at Kandu Bar, a 20% food discount at Aqua Restaurant plus one dinner there per five nights, one Sunset Cruise, a half-hour snorkelling and windsurfing lesson each, use of kayaks, windsurfing boards, the fitness centre, football court and table tennis, and a 20% spa discount in your first two days. IMJ confirms current pricing and any exclusions before booking.
How's the house reef and diving at Komandoo?
The lagoon and house reef sit off roughly a kilometre of beach and are snorkel-accessible straight from the sand. For diving, the on-island Prodivers Scuba Centre runs guided trips to around 50 dive spots and offers a full range of PADI 5-Star programmes, with equipment for sale and rental on-site.
Which villa category should we book?
The five categories split into beachfront (Beach Villa, then Jacuzzi Beach Villa and Premium Jacuzzi Beach Villa, both adding a two-person jacuzzi) and overwater (Jacuzzi Water Villa and Ocean Jacuzzi Water Villa, the latter adding a catamaran net over the deck). None carry a private pool — IMJ matches the category to whether you'd rather be steps from the beach or over the lagoon.
Does Komandoo do anything for honeymoons or anniversaries?
Yes — the resort lists complimentary amenities and bed decorations for honeymooners and for couples marking a wedding or anniversary, on top of the adults-only setting. Its Pix Maldives partner also includes a complimentary 30-minute photoshoot session with every stay.
