About COMO Cocoa Island

On its own pristine white-sand isle in the South Malé Atoll, COMO Cocoa Island is the quintessential barefoot luxury resort. Just a 40-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport, its chic, minimalist overwater villas – shaped like traditional Maldivian dhoni boats – have uninterrupted lagoon views and direct access to crystal-clear waters.

Wellness is central to the experience here. The COMO Shambhala Retreat combines expert Asian-based therapies, yoga, Pilates and the Maldives’ only hydrotherapy pool with the turquoise horizon as a backdrop. Marine life flourishes here, too – rainbow-hued house reefs and dive sites make snorkelling and diving tip-top, often guided by resident experts.

As for dining? Expect beautifully presented, locally sourced produce and contemporary spins on Mediterranean and Indian fare. There’s also a relaxed bar for cocktails and sunsets.

The resort welcomes all ages, with a variety of activities for children, including family yoga and a dedicated kids’ club. The spa is restricted to guests aged 16 and over.


Wellness at COMO Cocoa Island

Despite its small size, COMO Cocoa Island has an impressive range of wellness facilities, with a third of the resort dedicated to the COMO Shambhala Spa. Treatments are offered in open-air pavilions overlooking the lagoon, or in a private couples’ pavilion shrouded by tropical foliage. The resort is home to the Maldives’ only hydrotherapy pool, which comes with high-pressure jets to ease tension and promote relaxation.

The open-air yoga pavilion provides a 360-degree view of the island, and the fully equipped gym, complimentary group fitness classes, and Pilates reformer and Cadillac equipment make it easy to keep up with workouts. A variety of Ayurvedic and Asian-inspired therapies complete the offering.

You can choose from programmes focused on the like of beauty, sleep and active lifestyle, or stay on a B&B basis and simply select your favourite wellness offerings to add on.

LOCATION

COMO Cocoa Island is set on a private island, locally known as Makunufushi, in the South Malé Atoll. To the west, the island is bordered by a superb diving channel, and to the east there’s a calm snorkelling reef. Local excursions can be organised, and include dolphin and sunset cruises, catamaran sailing, fishing trips and island-hopping.


The nearest airport is Malé, which is a 40-minute group speedboat ride from the island. 


WHEN TO GO

Maldives has a consistent temperature all year round. There are 2 distinct seasons. December to April is the high season. Rain is more likely to occur between May to November. However this is the best time to visit if you are a keen diver.
