An idyllic retreat of just 33 over-water suites, loft suites, loft villas and villas, Cocoa Island is located in the South Malé Atoll, a 30 minutes by speedboat from Malé.

The chic, barefoot style pioneered by COMO Hotels & Resorts at its sister resort, Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos, is continued here at Cocoa Island. The design is simple and stylish combining cleanlined interiors with influences from South India and Sri-Lanka. From your expansive platform bed, watch small boats traverse a currentless sea, or step from your private deck into the warm shallow waters of the Indian Ocean. A 7 minute walk will take you around this beguiling, uncluttered refuge, passing hibiscus, sea grape and Ylang Ylang, and on a perfect night, watch the moon rise on one side of the island as the sun sets on the far curve of the earth.

But for all its natural graces, Cocoa Island also knows how to indulge its guests. COMO Shambhala Retreat is a point of stillness dedicated to renewing the body's energies overseen by master practitioners using Eastern inspired therapies. There's an infinity pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a gymnasium, and the food, like the rest of Cocoa, makes the best of nature's bounty, cooked by an award-winning Australian chef. The feedback we get from our clients about Cocoa Island is second to none, and many of them return time and time again.
