Nestled in the South Malé Atoll lies a hidden gem: COMO Cocoa Island. Reachable in just 40 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport, the private island boasts 33 overwater villas, including the dhoni villas, which are reminiscent of typical Maldivian fishing boats. With their high ceilings and large windows, the villas bring the surrounding turquoise lagoon indoors. A holistic sanctuary awaits at the COMO Shambala Retreat, where yoga, Pilates, meditation and spa treatments are offered to relax you body and mind. Adventurers can discover the fascinating underwater world while diving or snorkeling.

Romantic picnics under the stars on the private island of Lavadhoo are a highlight. And even more dreams come true here, whether swimming alongside gentle whale sharks or riding the waves at the surf spots.
