Cocoa Island is found in the idyllic South Malé Atoll, a 30 minute speedboat ride from Malé. Surrounded by the warm Maldivian Sea and an enormous range of marine life, this is pure escapism.

Accommodation

The 36 stunning rooms are all built above the pristine sea. Rooms are inspired by dhoni boats, as used by local fishermen. Combining intimate seclusion and ingenious design, Cocoa Island’s select collection of luxury accommodation comprises eight Dhoni Suites, nine Dhoni Loft Suites, ten Loft Villas and six, one or two bedroom Villas. The Dhoni Suites, conceived in the style of local fishing boats (dhonis), are built over the sea with superb ocean views from your bed.

Dhoni Standard Suites

Our eight, split-level bedrooms have king-sized or twin beds. The spacious living area leads onto a chic private sundeck with two chaise lounges, a dining table and direct access to the lagoon.

A highlight is the sitting area with an outsize Balinese-style day bed. The bathroom is large with a double-ended tub backed by a mirrored wall.
