Cocoa Island

There's a mythical land beneath the ocean waves where a veritable water wonderland exists. To experience this, you must first pamper your senses at Cocoa Island, where the ambience draws you to discover the rarest of pleasures. This private island is found in the South east Male’ atoll in the quiet waters of the Indian Ocean where the strongest winds are gentle breezes, and the highest points, leaning palm fronts. Each lagoon is a point of stillness, but the encircling reefs bristle with life.

The island lies just on the east side of the famous dive site Kandooma Channel, considered to be one of the best dive sites in the Maldives; on the other side is a quiet reef for snorkeling flanked by a curl of sandy beach which tapers into a spit of sand. This is as long as the island, disappearing with the advance of the Maldivian tide. 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.

Spa

There is no better way to rejuvenate or reenergize than to receive the pampering of a spa treatment. The Spa on Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu provides a total sensory experience. The all natural treatments draw on the ancient health and beauty traditions of Asia , from cultures that celebrate beauty and refinement and honour nature's precious gifts. The exotic aromas of spices and fragrant blooms combined with the gentle sound of soothing music will bathe the senses and lull you in to a state of bliss. A range of Spa products and accessories are also available on the island.

Wedding

A traditional Maldivian wedding ceremony in the romantic setting of Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu creates a unique and special memory for a couple to share and treasure. This is the ideal occasion for renewing vows or having a private and intimate wedding celebration. The service is held at sunset on a desert island beach in the shelter of a hut made from coconut trees and leaves. A traditionally dressed minister, witnesses and friends wait with the bride for the groom to arrive on a Dhoni (traditional sailing vessel) who is then carried to the beach. The ceremony is celebrated according the local traditions with a dowry and exchange of vows and rings. The melodious “bodu beru” drums of the local fishermen accompany the couple on their journey back to their villa. All guests are invited to enjoy the drums ceremonial dances and participate in toasting to the happiness of the couple with Kurumba local coconut. In the evening a barbeque dinner is served to the Bride and Groom in the privacy of their villa and the following day a coconut tree planting ceremony is arranged for the happy couple

Dining

Catch the scent of spices in the pure salt air

At Cocoa Island, eat like a castaway - fresh lobster, caught locally, cooked in the Keralan style. Dine feet-in-the-sand at the main restaurant, Ufaa, beneath an alang-alang pavilion and huge Maldivian sky.

Menus change daily, blending Indian and Sri Lankan traditions with an emphasis on seafood, tandoor and organic, locally-sourced produce. Spicing is used with a lightness of touch. Choice is always tantalising, promising simplicity in the tropics, and sophistication for the more demanding gourmand.

There is also a hotel bar, Faru, open from 10am until midnight, serving fine wines, exotic cocktails and energising juices.

Other Services

Enrich yourself with simple pleasures

At Cocoa Island, indulge in nature's bequest, from dust-white sand between idle toes, to a warm blue sea that turns blush-pink with the falling light.

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.
