Photograph: Indian Ocean scenery — not Komandoo Maldives Island Resort.
A 65-villa private island in Lhaviyani Atoll, reachable only by a 40-minute seaplane from Malé, and strictly 18-plus. The house reef starts roughly 20 metres off the beach, so reef sharks, turtles and rays are a swim away rather than a boat ride. Diving is run by Prodivers, a PADI centre with free nitrox for certified divers, two guided boat trips daily plus sunrise and night dives, and more than 50 sites within reach across Lhaviyani and neighbouring Noon Atoll — including manta cleaning stations and channel drifts, best between November and March. The island runs about 500m by 200m, with two restaurants, two bars, a pool and the Duniye Spa. Guests can also cross to sister resort Hurawalhi for its undersea restaurant.
