Cocoa Island Maldives: At Cocoa Island, indulge in nature's bequest, from dust-white sand between idle toes, to a warm blue sea. Rooms are inspired by dhoni boats, as used by local fishermen, adjoined by simple wooden walkways built above the shallow ocean. Each is its own discreet fiefdom. From your room, 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. |

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 facials and facilities such as massage pavilions, hydrotherapy pool, steam rooms and meditation area. |
