Cocoa Island is
the Indian Ocean outpost from COMO Hotels and Resorts, the company
behind Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos.
To hole up here is
to discover escapism, or sweet serenity under a reliable sun.
It is a special place, at one remove from the noise of modern
living, where we nurture every need, attend to every detail, and
soothe away the stresses which belong to another life.
ACCOMMODATION
Rooms are inspired
by dhoni boats, as used by local fishermen, adjoined by simple
wooden walkways built above the shallow ocean. Each is its own
discreet fiefdom. From your room, walk out on to a private terrace;
from your terrace, slip into a warm Maldivian sea.
The view from the
wide platform bed is directly out to the watery expanse. And the
bathrooms, all with double sinks, a bath and shower, share the
horizon views.
The accommodation
at Cocoa Island is laid out to maximise privacy. For further advice

DINING
At Cocoa Island, eat
like a castaway - fresh lobster, caught locally, cooked in the
Keralan style. Dine feet-in-the-sand at the main restaurant, Ufaa,
beneath an alang-alang pavilion and huge Maldivian sky.
Menus change daily,
blending Indian and Sri Lankan traditions with an emphasis on
seafood, tandoor and organic, locally-sourced produce. Spicing
is used with a lightness of touch. Choice is always tantalising,
promising simplicity in the tropics, and sophistication for the
more demanding gourmand.
There is also a hotel
bar, Faru, open from 10am until midnight, serving fine wines,
exotic cocktails and energising juices.
At Cocoa Island, we
provide comprehensive room service menus, as well as a healthful
COMO Shambhala cuisine.
RESORT FACILITIES
At Cocoa Island, indulge
in nature's bequest, from dust-white sand between idle toes, to
a warm blue sea that turns blush-pink with the falling light.
Some guests find their
own stretch of beach; others prefer to relax in privacy on their
suite's hidden terrace, or lounge beside the resort’s main
swimming pool – cobalt, melting into an empty horizon.
There is a watersports
centre (see Island Activities), a fully equipped Dive Centre,
gym with yoga facilities, and a COMO Shambhala retreat offering
a full range of treatments including massages, Ayurveda and facials.
Our library features
an extensive book collection; games are also available, which
can be delivered to your suite. A hotel boutique sells a carefully
edited selection of gifts as well as holiday necessities like
hats and sun lotion. We also have a 24-hour concierge.
ISLAND ACTIVITIES
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.
Diving
The diving is exceptional, with a team on island to teach beginners
and challenge the experienced. Visit our dedicated page for more
detailed information.
Watersports
You can also go deep-sea fishing, or partake in watersports off
the beach, like windsurfing or catamaran sailing.
Island Hopping
Particularly popular are the beach drop-offs, dolphin and sunset
cruises, allowing guests to indulge in the natural solitude of
empty beaches and mirror-flat horizons.
