Cocoa Island by COMO
Cocoa Island is a small, private island resort designed for those seeking an easygoing, foot-in-the-sand experience. The rich, warm waters and bountiful coral also promise some of the world's best beaches, snorkelling and diving.
Wake up to an empty horizon from your over-water bungalow. As evening approaches, watch a tiny fishing boat ply the cobalt ocean. Cocoa Island offers indulgent therapies,Yoga, diving, gourmet cuisine and exciting excursions.
Experience gentle cosseting in a blissful wilderness – a contemporary resort which reflects the Maldives' soul. A stay at Cocoa Island is about discovering the essence of beach living – the power of quiet and nature.
Most of Cocoa Island’s rooms are uniquely inspired by dhoni boats, the style of vessel used by local fishermen. They are adjoined by simple wooden walkways built above the shallow lagoon.
From your room, walk out on to a private terrace and slip into a warm Maldivian sea.The view from the wide platform bed is directly out to the watery expanse. The bathrooms, a bath and shower, share the horizon views. Interiors are quietly contemporary with a nod to local rusticity in Maldivian kajan roofing.
Cocoa Island offers complimentary WiFi and high-speed Internet access in all guestrooms, the reception area, bar and restaurant.

Kick back and relax on your sundeck, toes dipped into the island’s peaceful lagoon. For those who want to do more, Cocoa Island offers an active island life. From first-time divers to Yoga devotees, from keen sailors to idle snorkellers – they've got the equipment, knowledge and expertise for a memorable stay.
Although most guests go to Cocoa Island to relax in privacy, there are others who spend their time exploring the local region – both above and underwater.
Diving
The diving is exceptional, with a team available to teach beginners and challenge the experienced.
Water Sports
You can also go deep-sea fishing, partake in watersports off the beach, like windsurfing or catamaran sailing. They also offer beach drop-offs, dolphin and sunset cruises, a cookery lesson or guided snorkelling.
At Cocoa Island, you can choose to do very little. 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.
If you want an active holiday, there is a water-sports centre with sea kayaks, catamaran, windsurf boards, a fully equipped PADI certified Dive Centre, a COMO Shambhala Retreat including several Treatment rooms, a Yoga Pavilion with a resident instructor, fully equipped gym, steam rooms and hydrotherapy pool.
Events
A celebration at Cocoa Island ensures memories of paradise unadulterated.
At Cocoa Island, you’re totally removed from the hustle of everyday life.
This is a private island, encircled by a lagoon with its sand snaking out into a perfect spit, creating an unbeatable setting for a sunset wedding blessing.
With just 33 Water Suites and Villas, Cocoa Island is also ideal for those who want to take over the entire island for a family get-together. The island event staff can arrange the entire event, including flowers, music, and a seafood dinner on the edge of the lagoon.
Wellness
COMO Shambhala
COMO Shambhala Retreat, our island wellness centre, is the embodiment of our philosophy for healthy living. We draw our inspiration from our surroundings, with treatment pavilions that combine natural wood, traditional Maldivian coral walls and thatched roofs. Our treatment rooms – two double and one single – have commanding views of the turquoise lagoon, while our couple’s pavilion overlooks tropical foliage. We also have one of the only hydrotherapy pools in the Maldives, where guests can relax in the heated water, with purpose-built high pressure jets to target different areas of the body.
At this nurturing island retreat we offer Asian-based therapies, physical fitness classes and a new Pilates studio, as well as a fitness centre and airy yoga studio, where you can practice mindful exercises with views of the island. To complement the wellness experience, we have crafted a daily schedule of activities, including yoga and Pilates alongside a range of other wellness pursuits.
