Swim with whale sharks

After being indoors for much of the year, immersion in nature is set to be a key influence when booking post-lockdown escapes.

As the only resort in the Thaa Atoll, COMO Maalifushi is surrounded by a thriving house reef.

Under the waves, explore a circus of branching corals, parrot fish and octopus, go shark spotting and learn the secrets of the underwater world with the marine biologist.
