Honeymoon extras
Komandoo Island Resort is very unique in its offering and is definitely in my top 5 favourite honeymoon islands in the Maldives.
This boutique resort has a wonderful beach, offers some of the best food in the Maldives, a great house reef (which is not too far from the beach) and also offers a great all-inclusive package.
The resort is completely Adults Only (the ONLY resort in the maldives where anyone under the age of 18 is not allowed), this makes it a wonderful choice for those honeymooners looking for a quieter get away.
The lagoon is beautiful and shallow and the snorkelling directly from the beach means Komandoo boasts 70/80% repeater visits during its peak January to March period every year.
The island buffet which is included every day on both Full Board and All Inclusive plus is one of the best buffets in the Maldives, offering a 14 day rotation on the live cooking stations and daily themed evenings.
Couples spending their honeymoon / Anniversary (Silver & Gold ) at Komandoo will receive:
• Sparkling champagne once during stay.
• Special bed decoration once during stay.
• Fruit Basket once during stay
