Cocoa Island Resort , South Male Atoll, Maldives
There's a mythical land beneath the ocean waves where a veritable water wonderland exists. To experience this, you must first pamper your senses at Cocoa Island, where the ambience draws you to discover the rarest of pleasures. This private island is found in the South east Male’ atoll in the quiet waters of the Indian Ocean where the strongest winds are gentle breezes, and the highest points, leaning palm fronts. Each lagoon is a point of stillness, but the encircling reefs bristle with life.

Ufaa

We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with dishes showcasing the Malabar Coast’s rich gourmet heritage as well as modern interpretations of Southeast Asian cooking and Mediterranean influences. The tandoor is employed to allow for fat-free, flavour-laden grilling of meats and fish. Dishes might include tuna tartare with pomegranate dressing, avocado, tomato and cucumber salad or whole masala spiced lobster cooked in the tandoor with lacha salad, lemon pickle and mint raita. We also offer healthy COMO Shambhala Cuisine alternatives for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

COMO Shambhala Retreat at Cocoa Island also offers a series of ‘Wellness Paths’ comprising suggested treatments to help achieve the mind-body balance suited to your needs.
Recreation
Although most of our guests come to Cocoa Island to relax in privacy, there are others who spend their time exploring the local region – both above and underwater.
The diving is exceptional, with our own team available to teach beginners and challenge the experienced. You can also go deep-sea fishing, partake in watersports off the beach, like windsurfing or catamaran sailing. We offer beach drop-offs, dolphin and sunset cruises, a cookery lesson or guided snorkelling.
Events
At Cocoa Island, you’re totally removed from the hustle of everyday life. Our private island, encircled by a lagoon with its sand snaking out into a perfect spit, creates 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. We can arrange the entire event, including flowers, music, or a seafood dinner on the edge of the lagoon.
* Please note weddings at Cocoa Island are purely ceremonial, not recognised by law.
Diving
Diving in the Maldives is regarded as some of the best in the world with warm and gentle seas for the absolute beginner or experienced diver. At Cocoa Island, we have a team of PADI instructors with in-depth knowledge of local waters, the coral reefs, wrecks and seasonal highlights.
We provide the kit, including Scuba Pro BCDs and regulators with 11 litre tanks. Wetsuits are long-leg and short-arm. The resort also provides Gull and Mantis masks, Technisub fins and Aladdin Pro dive computers. The compressor is a Bauer V-20.
