Cocoa Island by COMO

Junyeup Lee

COMO Cocoa is a truly stunning and exceptional resort — I first visited in 2022 and returned in 2025. On my 11 Maldives trips, this is the first resort I’ve visited twice. Como cocoa feels like a scene straight out of a movie. It’s incredibly peaceful, quiet, and breathtakingly beautiful, with a pristine lagoon and powdery white sandbank. The house reef is good for snorkeling. Nearby, there are world-class dive sites like Kandooma Thila, where you can encounter a lots of grey reef sharks and eagle rays. Dining at COMO Cocoa is impressive. The quality of the food are outstanding, and the service adds to the overall luxurious experience. COMO Cocoa is one of my favorite places in all of the Maldives. Highly recommended.

Late review – apologies. My husband and I stayed at COMO Cocoa Island in December for 4 nights. Unfortunately, that just wasn’t enough time, we wished we’d stayed longer! This place is HEAVEN ON EARTH! Firstly, it’s only a 35 min boat ride to the island from Male. We were met immediately at the airport, then taken directly to the boat and off we went. From the minute you step off the boat, you are met with a wonderful warmth and welcoming manner by everyone. The island is perfect. We took the early morning flight and were checked into our villa immediately. Our first night was spent in one of the Dhoni Water Villas, which was beautiful. The décor is minimalist, clean and white, which we loved! You could lie in your bed and look straight out to the water. These villas are beautiful, spacious, and deliciously comfortable. The next day we moved to a One Bed Pool Villa, another stunning villa with more luxury. The staff are all amazing, Muru took great care of use throughout our stay, and we loved Ravi’s fabulous cocktails. The food was incredible! The snorkelling is amazing, the best spot is the deeper pool out from the pool area. We saw turtles every day, reef sharks, and the whole cast from ‘Finding Nemo’. Dolphins were seen a number of times off the island. The water is crystal clear and we love seeing the coral conservation work been done. We did some paddle boarding and kayaking, more amazing and friendly staff at the Water Sports Centre. This is a 5th trip to the Maldives and this by far has been the best experience, we are booking our next visit soon. Can’t wait to return! S&M Dalton

The tranquil atmosphere provides a relaxing environment, enhanced by the soothing sounds of the ocean waves audible from the guest rooms.

Best experience in Maldives with this amazing boutique hôtel ! We had a villa on the water with a direct access to the lagoon. Amazing view and experience with Turtles and Manta Ray while snorkelling. The food and the team were absolutely welcoming as well as the Management. I highly recommend this retreat where we found peace and beauty.
