From its personalised service and sophisticated cuisine to its distinctive design, authentic culture and calming spa, our Maldives luxury resort works hard to tailor the experience to your needs. We can orchestrate customised cruises to neighbouring islands and beaches; plan private dinners at secluded locations; arrange yoga, diving or snorkelling; and create adventures for families travelling together to Cocoa Maldives Resorts.
COMO Cocoa Island, known locally as Makunufushi, is located among South Malé's coral atolls. Importantly, guests do not need seaplanes to access the island; it is just a 40-minute speedboat transfer from the international airport on Malé (the main island).
The style and design of our 33 overwater suites and villas are like that of no other luxury resort in the Maldives. Uniquely inspired by dhoni boats-the gently curving wooden vessels used by local fishermen-COMO Cocoa Island Resort's rooms arc out from the island itself. Simple wooden walkways built above the shallow lagoon connect them, forming a sinuous boardwalk pathway.
Each room has its own private terrace, all the better for slipping into the warm Maldivian sea, right from your room. The view from the wide platform is directly out to the watery expanse and horizon. Interiors are dominated by whites and blues, with only the subtlest nod to a certain local rustic aesthetic.
Our split-level Dhoni Water Villas stand out for their unusual design: shaped like a traditional Maldivian 'dhoni' fishing boat, they make you feel like you're floating on the ocean. The generous living room is a calming space to relax, while the overwater private terrace has a staircase that leads to the lagoon's warm waters.
The best resorts in the Maldives can't match our Dhoni Loft Suites' quirky design. These nine rooms work very well for families because of an expansive downstairs living area (which doubles up as a sleeping area for children) and then the master bedroom on a mezzanine level, just beneath the rafters. Again the terrace has steps straight into the lagoon.
With private sundecks and full-length windows overlooking the Indian Ocean, these Maldives villas bring the outside in. A dramatically elevated loft sequesters a king-sized bed while downstairs on the main level a large and airy sitting area doubles up as a sleeping area for kids. The main bathroom features a double vanity, seperate bath and shower, and a secluded outdoor shower with steps into the sea.
The largest of COMO Cocoa Island, Maldives' over water villas, these four light-filled bungalows, all of which sit on their own secluded jetty, feature three private al fresco areas: an outdoor shower, a balcony with a daybed, and off the sitting area, which converts into a kid-friendly sleeping area, there's a sun terrace fitted with a table and pair of loungers.
This new overwater villa features a large terrace with a 10-metre private swimming pool, offering some of the island's best views of the iconic Maldivian sunset. The villa was designed with space in mind: there's a living room, an en suite master bedroom, a private study and a gym. The villa can be connected to the COMO Sunset Water Villa via an overwater wooden walkway, or closed off for complete privacy.
Of the 33 suites and villas at our Maldives beach resort, COMO Cocoa Island's two COMO Villas-Sunset and Sunrise-offer the most unique guest experience. Approached by a private jetty, each villa is arranged with two wings, each with a bedroom (one king, one twin), ensuite bathroom, outdoor shower and private terrace. These wings are connected by living and dining areas with balconies on either side, which allows for step-off-the-deck access to the lagoon.
Offering some of the best dining in the Maldives, our menus are modern, light and steeped in the nuances of South Indian cuisine. We also offer contemportary interpretations of other Asian and Mediterranean classics, as well as old favourites like pastas and salads. Our healthful COMO Shambhala Cuisine is always popular.
Ufaa serves modern interpretations of Indian and Mediterranean cuisine with an emphasis on local produce, including seafood and COMO Shambhala healthful eating options.
In addition to Uffa, Faru bar as well as our in-room dining, we offer several private dining experiences in stunning locations across COMO Cocoa Island.
COMO Shambhala Cuisine is a unique nutritional concept that incorporates organic ingredients rich in living enzymes, vitamins and sea minerals while still delivering on flavor. Food is raw, steamed or grilled for maximum health benefits. Chefs also make ample use of the tandoor, a type of Indian oven that allows for the fat-free cooking of meats and fish whilst introducing a wonderful charcoal flavor. COMO Shambhala Cuisine is served at Ufaa and is also available via in-room dining.
Faru Bar is an easy-going, foot-in-the-sand resort bar where our inventive bartenders put together refreshing cocktails (and mocktails). Fine wines, classic cigars and light snacks also feature, alongside some easy beats at sunset. Faru Bar is open from 10am until late, adjacent to the infinity pool and leading directly to the beach.
In-room dining at COMO Cocoa Island includes salads, pastas and refreshing juices and is available
Discover the Indian Ocean's finest panoramas with a relaxing sail around the COMO Cocoa Island lagoon, on a catamaran piloted by one of our expert guides.
CATAMARAN SNORKELLING TRIP
This private, two-hour sailing and snorkelling trip through the Indian Ocean is ideal for couples. You can feel the tropical Maldivian breeze on your cheeks as our catamaran is steered through the ocean by one of our expert guides, to some of nearby islands, atolls and sandbanks where you will find some of the best snorkelling sites in the Maldives.
HOUSE REEF SNORKELING
Snorkelling the resort's bustling house reef is an essential experience for guests of COMO Cocoa Island. You will discover a diverse array of marine life during this complimentary guided excursion, from schools of Kashmir snapper and oriental sweetlips, to needlefish and the occasional (harmless) reef shark.
SHARK ADVENTURE SNORKELLING TRIPS
Guests of COMO Cocoa Island can snorkel with some of the ocean's sleekest predators - white tip and blacktip reef sharks, on reefs just a 15-minute boat ride from the resort. Reef sharks are harmless to humans, but their long agile bodies and lightning-quick reflexes make them a feared predator to smaller fish. There will be a short talk on shark conservation in the local area, after which guests will depart for the reef. Private excursions can also be arranged by speaking to the Marine Sports Centre.
WHALE SHARK EXPEDITION AND PICNIC
This exciting trip begins with a speed boat ride across to the Ari Atoll, where our search for the largest shark in the ocean will begin. Once a whale shark has been spotted, guests are invited to snorkel alongside this gentle sea giant. At lunchtime we will stop on an uninhabited island to enjoy a picnic, before heading back out to continue the hunt.
Located at Maldives' South Malé Atoll, COMO Cocoa Island enjoys a marine-rich lagoon full of pristine dive sites, such as the dramatic Kandooma Caves and the ever popular shark cleaning station at Cocoa Thila. Divers will discover reefs and overhangs teeming with marine life, including green turtles, reef sharks, bigeye trevally and many other colourful reef fish. Dive trip experiences may be enhanced by bringing along our resident marine biologist. To dive at COMO Cocoa Island you must hold an International SCUBA diving license, which you will be asked to provide with your logbook. We also offer a range of PADI-approved diving courses for those wishing to earn their SCUBA license while at the resort.
UV NIGHT SNORKELLING
Experience an underwater light show at COMO Cocoa Island"s house reef. Special UV torches and mask lenses will reveal the stunning hues of fluorescent greens, yellows, reds and oranges emitted at night by various coral species, such as tube coral and brain coral. You may also catch flashes of marine animals including lobsters and lionfish, which also appear to glow under ultraviolet lights.
NIGHT SNORKELLING
See a different side of our stunning house reef after the sun has set. Armed with bright, underwater torches, our guides will help you glimpse the reef's shy, nocturnal creatures, including lionfish, lobsters and moray eels.
COMO Shambhala Retreat at COMO Cocoa Island is the embodiment of a philosophy for healthy living that COMO Shambhala has successfully refined at its award-winning retreats all over the world. The COMO Shambhala experience combines Asian-based therapies, nutrition, exercise and yoga with a results-driven agenda managed by experts in holistic health.

I discovered Zeldiva through the persistent YouTube ads we often skip, but one day, while occupied with something else, their ad caught my attention. For me, it was a "gerrari" as to where to go for my honeymoon trip, i.e., the most preferred destination, the Maldives. I thought of getting in touch with the Zeldiva team, and from the beginning to the end, the experience was seamless. Their website made it easy to manage everything from budgeting to selecting a resort. I must commend their dedicated team for their assistance. Although my preferred resort was fully booked, I trusted their recommendation, and it turned out to be a wise decision. Not only did I have an amazing time, but it also cost less than expected. While booking directly with the resort is an option, I believe using Zeldiva brings peace of mind. Therefore, I highly recommend their services.
I don't know how she did it but Merissa got us by far the best deal for our stay in Maldives and seamlessly managed a booking of 18 people just a few weeks before departure, and remained contactable throughout. I will definitely use Zeldiva again! Thank you!
It was first time we visited Maldives & it was nice to deal with Zeldiva Luxury team to plan our trip, they are very professional & giving clear information. We would like to thank Ellen who was very helpful & cooperative. Highly recommended
Can't say enough thank you for the best holiday I've ever had. Thanks to Merissa, I got the best deal for my holiday, she was always available for my thousands questions and took a really good care of me. If you want to go to the Maldives, do it with Zeldiva.
Highly recommend Zeldiva Luxury to any one planning a trip to the Madlives. Marissa's help ensured a smooth booking process, a better deal and ease of mind, for that I am truly grateful. Also thankful for meeting Ahmed from the Zeldiva team who greeted us at the airport during arrival and also during the departure. He was a great help, ensuring that my wife, infant daughter and I had a smooth transition from the plane to boat and back from boat to plane at both times, even giving us information about the Maldives (explaining Kumari Kandam! which I wont forget about). Thank you for making our stay at the Maldives easy and smooth. I would recommend using Zeldiva Luxury to anyone planning on going to the Madlives to ensure getting a better deal, smooth transport transition and ease of mind
