The resort’s signature COMO Shambhala Cuisine is also available – rich in living enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.
The extensive Play by COMO also means that your children have a whole section of the island to themselves. Close enough that you don’t have to worry, but secluded enough that you can still find time to really relax.
- The 2-hour Splash Net Cruise & Dolphin Watching. Try a sunset cruise with a twist, as you set off in search of dolphin pods migrating through the Thaa Atoll. Once in the open water, your kids can hop onto COMO’S dhoni’s splash net and experience the thrill of being towed safely through the ocean. As the sun sets, you can indulge in a glass of wine or beer, and freshly prepared canapés. Only children aged seven and older may enter the splash net. Children 12 years and younger must be accompanied by a guardian.
- A 30-minute Marine Biologist Presentation. Learn about the many areas of marine life, environments and ecosystems. COMO’S resident marine biologist is happy to answer any questions you have, or simply discuss the things you have seen and found on the reefs — helping you to accurately identify fish, plants and other aquatic life.
- Coral Propagation. The resident Marine Biologist has teamed up with Seamarc — a marine consultancy company — to plant new coral frames on the seafloor, which encourage new reefs to grow and prosper. Take this unique opportunity to sponsor one of these frames, and track its progress via twice-yearly photographic updates as well as complimentary guided dives every time you visit the resort.
- Family Castaway Picnic. Swim, sunbathe, nap and make memories as a family with the castaway picnic. At lunch, a gourmet picnic will be waiting for you on the shoreline. A selection of snacks can be found on the island, with sweet treats for your children and a private bar for you. Included: transport, picnic lunch, a bottle of Champagne, beers, non-alcoholic beverages and the services of a private butler.
