COMO Cocoa Island lies in South Malé Atoll on the island of Makunufushi, around 40 minutes by speedboat from Malé’s international airport. No seaplane is needed. The resort has 33 villas, all of them over the water and shaped like a traditional Maldivian dhoni boat. It suits couples and divers who appreciate an intimate setting, a vibrant house reef and a holistic approach to wellness. Families will find plenty of space in the larger villas.
The overwater villas are modelled on a gently curved dhoni. The Dhoni Loft Water Villa is set over two levels, with the bedroom on the mezzanine and a generous living area below. From the terrace with loungers and a dining table, you look straight out over the lagoon.
The COMO Shambhala Retreat combines holistic and Ayurvedic treatments with a steam room, a hydrotherapy pool and a gym. Wellness classes take place six times a week. COMO Shambhala Kitchen completes the offering with light dishes made from fresh ingredients.
The house reef is just a few strokes from the villas and invites you to snorkel. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and snorkelling gear are available free of charge. Excursions to snorkel with nurse sharks or to go UV night snorkelling round off the programme.
All 33 villas stand over the water. The Dhoni Water Villa measures 75 m², while the Loft Water Villa has 123 m² and direct access to the ocean. The One-Bedroom Water Villa with Pool has its own pool and butler service. For families and friends, there is the Two-Bedroom COMO Sunrise Villa with 300 m² and the COMO Sunset Villa with up to three bedrooms, two pools and sunset views.
With 33 villas, COMO Cocoa Island remains intimate. At its heart is Ufaa, an indoor-outdoor restaurant between the pool and the beach, serving modern interpretations of Indian and Mediterranean cuisine made with local produce and sustainably caught fish. Faru Bar by the pool, with direct beach access, serves cocktails and light snacks. For the Villa Yakiniku Dinner, meat, fish and vegetables are grilled yakiniku-style in your villa, accompanied by sake.
Treat yourself to a picnic on the sandbank to the east of the island: the team sets a table there for a three-course meal, served with prosecco and fresh fruit.
