COMO Cocoa Island, Maldives

Set on a lush tropical atoll in the Maldives, amongst soft white beaches and crystal clear lagoons, COMO Cocoa Island is the epitome of barefoot chic, yet sophisticated in its luxury.

With only 33 suites and villas on the island, 17 of which are converted dhonis or local fishing boats and 16 being villas it definitely has that sense of a boutique property. Each bungalow is connected by a planked walkway, sitting offshore over the crystal turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and have been decorated using bleached woods and natural fabrics with Kajan thatched roofs. Blue and white décor further brings the sea, sand and sky into the heart of every room. This is complimented by sublime cuisine at Ufaa, the island's main restaurant which has a relaxed atmosphere, dining by the infinity pool and sea serving Keralan and international style dishes.

COMO Cocoa Island is also home to and an award winning Shambhala Spa offering holistic, Asian-inspired treatments including Ayurveda. In our opinion, this is a small and intimate resort, ideal for getting away from it all.

Just a 50-minute seaplane flight from COMO Cocoa Island is another fabulous COMO resort, COMO Maalifushi, offering guests a new and exciting island hopping experience.
