Enchanting Escapade at COMO Cocoa Island Maldives

Nestled among the reef patches of South Malé atoll, COMO Cocoa Island Maldives beckons travellers seeking simplicity paired with luxury. The island known locally as Makunufushi is home to 33 overwater villas. In the heart of this secluded resort is the spirit of ease. Whether it is in the sun-kissed embrace of the northeast monsoon from December to April, or amidst the southwest monsoon from May to November with tropical rainfall, the resort welcomes you to a paradisiac escape. 

Overwater abodes

The resort's unmistakable charm lies in its overwater villas. The unique design mirrors the elegant curves of local 'dhoni' fishing boats, giving the resort a distinctive elegance. Each bungalow perched above the lagoon is a testament to Maldivian craftsmanship. The high rafters, glossy teak floors, New Zealand pine, and Kajan-thatched roofs are all merged to create a work of art. The floor-to-ceiling windows invite in the tropical sun rays while offering openness and privacy in equal measure. Slip into the sea from your terrace, and embrace a spacious, elegant home. 

Culinary masterpieces

COMO Cocoa Island is home to two splendid dining venues. Ufaa presents a harmonious blend of inside and outside, pool and beach. The restaurant entices visitors with modern interpretations of Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. The second dining outlet is the Faru Bar — a laid-back poolside retreat with direct beach access. It is where you can indulge in crafted cocktails, fine wines, and light snacks. In addition to these eateries, guests can enjoy exclusive private dining experiences in captivating settings prepared with tailored menus. 

A wellness journey

For those seeking a healing experience, the COMO Shambhala Retreat welcomes you to a deeply restorative haven. The treatment rooms gaze upon the lagoon and lush foliage. It is also home to Maldives' only hydrotherapy pools, where high-pressure jets deliver therapeutic massages. You can indulge in a range of treatments, and experiences, all cocooned in utmost privacy. The self-care retreat is brought up a notch with the nourishing concept of COMO Shambhala Cuisine. This culinary concept is embodied in nutrition-optimised dishes using pure ingredients and nourishing combinations, served at Ufaa.

A turquoise playground

Maldives is celebrated for the crystal clear seas and the never-ending adventures you can have in water. This is true at COMO Cocoa Island too, as you can explore an exhilarating collection of activities. From swimming with whale sharks to snorkelling the outer reefs and encountering sea turtles in their natural habitat. Coasts kissed by waves from all directions create a surfing paradise. Learn about the coral reefs and conservation programs, or partake in a variety of watersports, including catamaran sailing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, and kayaking.

Romantic retreats

As the sun dips beneath the horizon, COMO Cocoa Island becomes a tapestry of unforgettable romantic moments. Dine at a secluded sandbank, with nothing but the whispering waves surrounding you. Or watch your favourite movie under the stars as you lounge on bean bags.

Sip Champagne and relish canapés as the sun bids farewell on a dolphin cruise. Every experience is an ode to romance and relaxation.
