Cocoa Island, Maldives

Discover Cocoa Island, Maldives in the quiet South Malé atoll—a perfect spit of porcelain-white sand and crystal clear ocean rich for exploring. Kick back and relax on your sundeck, toes dipped into the island's peaceful lagoon. Wake up to an empty horizon from your over-water villa. As evening approaches, watch a tiny fishing boat ply the cobalt ocean.

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 snorkelers—Cocoa Island has the equipment, knowledge and expertise for a memorable stay.

The diving is exceptional, with their own team available to teach beginners and challenge the experienced. You can also go deep-sea fishing, partake in water sports off the beach, like windsurfing or catamaran sailing. They offer beach drop-offs, dolphin and sunset cruises, a cookery lesson or guided snorkelling.

At COMO Shambhala Retreat, Asian-inspired treatments include massage, emotionally rebalancing holistic techniques, facials for restorative skincare and authentic Ayurvedic therapies.

Ufaa, meaning happy in Maldivian, is a foot-in-the-sand space with covered and uncovered seating. It flanks the resort's infinity-edged pool, in natural wood and Kajan thatch, and is presided over by Australian chef, Anna Rossel.
