COMO Maalifushi

Made up of 1192 coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are world-famous for their heart-stoppingly beautiful beaches. While all have the white sand, bath-warm sea and towering palm trees of holiday fantasies, less than 300 islands are occupied – many with elegant resorts catering to honeymooners, families and sports enthusiasts. With underwater restaurants, glass-bottomed nightclubs, treetop spas and ice cream parlours, these hotels really are the stuff of dreams.
