Arrival & First Impressions
Reaching Cocoa Island feels like stepping into another world. After a scenic speedboat transfer from Malé, the resort emerges as a sliver of sand fringed by turquoise waters. The scale is intimate — just 33 overwater villas — creating a sense of exclusivity from the very first moment.

The Stay
Each villa is inspired by the design of local dhoni boats, seamlessly blending Maldivian heritage with contemporary luxury. Floor-to-ceiling windows open directly onto the lagoon, so the line between indoors and outdoors all but disappears. Days are unhurried — snorkelling from your private deck, enjoying COMO’s award-winning spa treatments, or dining with your feet in the sand.

SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES
What sets Cocoa Island apart is its focus on tranquillity and connection with nature. Highlights include sunrise yoga on the beach, guided diving expeditions to vibrant coral reefs, and private sandbank dinners where the horizon belongs entirely to you. Wellness is woven into every aspect, from nutritious menus to world-class therapies at the COMO Shambhala Retreat.
