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.
A super resort from COMO in the Thaa Atoll, with bright, airy, well-appointed suites and villas. Service and dining are good quality.
Some good snorkelling to be found at the edge of the inner lagoon - some way from the beach, but a walk along the jetty gets you close to the reef.
If its understated elegance, healthy living and beautiful surroundings you are after then this little piece of paradise is worth a visit

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.
‘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.
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
COMO Shambhala Retreat offers a wide array of massage spa treatments. The signature COMO Shambhala Massage is a particularly nurturing treatment, employing long, soothing strokes.
THAI MASSAGE
Thai Massage unblocks trapped energy and increases vitality. With this type of healing treatment — sometimes known as passive yoga — our expert COMO Shambhala therapists manoeuvre your body into yoga-like stretching positions, applying pressure along the meridians and mobilising joints. No oil is used during this treatment and Thai pyjamas are provided.
Each of our peaceful spa suites offers panoramic views across the Indian Ocean while also guaranteeing complete privacy as you enjoy your COMO Shambhala experience. In every suite there are two treatment beds, a changing area and access to a private sundeck. These spaces suit treatments for both individuals and couples. All COMO Shambhala experiences include one of our signature therapeutic juices, designed to target specific areas of health and wellbeing.
COMO Shambhala offers a variety of classes and activities daily, including yoga, Pilates and fitness sessions. In-house guests are welcome to join any of these classes. Our internationally accredited teachers are also available upon request for personal training and private sessions. Please refer to the COMO Shambhala Schedule of Activities or approach our wellness reception team to make your reservation.
