There’s a mythical land beneath the ocean waves where a veritable water wonderland exists. To experience this, you must first pamper your senses at Cocoa Island, where the ambience draws you to discover the rarest of pleasures. This private island is found in the South east Male’ atoll in the quiet waters of the Indian Ocean where the strongest winds are gentle breezes, and the highest points, leaning palm fronts. Each lagoon is a point of stillness, but the encircling reefs bristle with life.
The island lies just on the east side of the famous dive site Kandooma Channel, considered to be one of the best dive sites in the Maldives; on the other side is a quiet reef for snorkeling flanked by a curl of sandy beach which tapers into a spit of sand. This is as long as the island, disappearing with the advance of the Maldivian tide.
.
The 36 stunning rooms are inspired by dhoni boats, as used by local fishermen, are all over water and is reached by simple wooden walkways built above the shallow ocean. All of these exotic rooms are faced to the ocean. From your room, just walk out on to a private terrace; from your terrace, slip into a warm Maldivian sea.
The view from the wide platform bed is directly out to the watery expanse. And the bathrooms, all with double sinks, a bath and shower, share the horizon views.

At Cocoa Island, indulge in nature’s bequest, from dust-white sand between idle toes, to a warm blue sea that turns blush-pink with the falling light.
.
Some guests find their own stretch of beach; others prefer to relax in privacy on their suite’s hidden terrace, or lounge beside the resort’s main swimming pool - cobalt, melting into an empty horizon.
There is a watersports centre, a fully equipped Dive Centre, gym with yoga facilities, and a COMO Shambhala retreat offering a full range of treatments including massages, Ayurveda and facials.
Our library features an extensive book collection; games are also available, which can be delivered to your suite. A hotel boutique sells a carefully edited selection of gifts as well as holiday necessities like hats and sun lotion. We also have a 24-hour concierge.

At Cocoa Island, eat like a castaway - fresh lobster, caught locally, cooked in the Keralan style. Dine feet-in-the-sand at the main restaurant, Ufaa, beneath an alang-alang pavilion and huge Maldivian sky.
Menus change daily, blending Indian and Sri Lankan traditions with an emphasis on seafood, tandoor and organic, locally-sourced produce. Spicing is used with a lightness of touch. Choice is always tantalising, promising simplicity in the tropics, and sophistication for the more demanding gourmand. There is also a hotel bar, Faru, open from 10am until midnight, serving fine wines, exotic cocktails and energising juices. At Cocoa Island, we provide comprehensive room service menus, as well as a healthful COMO Shambhala cuisine.
