COMO Cocoa Island in the Maldives is a small, private island resort offering the ultimate in barefoot luxury. Situated on Makunufushi, part of the South Malé atoll, it’s located just 40 minutes from Malé by speedboat.
The minimalist style of this property produces an instant feeling of calm and well-being. The rooms are all reached via wooden jetties reaching out over the lagoon, and there are steps from each one leading down into the sea. The décor is simple and stylish with cotton drapes, whitewashed walls, all mod cons, and even flip-flops are provided.
Ufaa is the resort's main restaurant and specializes in Southeast Asian and Mediterranean dishes. Faru is Cocoa Island's only bar, boasting amazing sea and sunset views.
The acclaimed COMO Shambhala Retreat Spa offers treatments and therapies based on natural Asian traditions. Alternatively, guests can just relax on the white sand beach or by the impressive swimming pool.
