The property

Dhoni suites and serious wellness

Cocoa Island is deliberately small — a slender sandbank with a single line of overwater suites, the earliest of them built in the form of dhoni fishing boats. COMO Shambhala runs the wellness: yoga, Ayurvedic-influenced therapies and the group's famous healthy kitchen. The house reef is superb and the sandbank itself shifts with the seasons. No show, no crowds; it is the quiet connoisseur's choice in South Malé.

What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    A private beach

    The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.

  2. 02

    Overwater villas

    Rooms built out over the lagoon, with the water directly beneath the deck — the reason most people come to these islands.

  3. 03

    A full spa

    Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, sauna, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.

  4. 04

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.

  5. 05

    A children's club

    Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.
