A quick motorboat journey from Velana International Airport will take you to COMO Cocoa Island, which is hidden away in South Male' Atoll. Once the intimate, elegant resort comes into view, guests will quickly be dazzled by its eye-catching overwater villas and suites, appearing from a distance to be moored across the lagoon. These villas are characterized by a splash of avant-garde architectural styles that try to reflect the distinctive character of the traditional "Dhoni" fishing boats used in the Maldives.
With all 33 of its tastefully decorated guestrooms perched over the ocean, COMO Cocoa Island gives visitors a singular experience that cocoons them in blissful isolation and offers unbroken views of the renowned Maldives horizon. The majority of villas have gently curving rooflines that resemble the shape of a "Dhoni," and their roomy interiors exude a charm of cozy luxury and comfort. The large deck spaces with tempting step ladders tempt guests to walk directly off their terrace and into the ocean.
The villas are connected to the resort island by a winding boardwalk, which also features other unique amenities including dining areas. On its grounds, COMO Cocoa Island offers lodging in a variety of categories. Among the distinctive villa designs are:
Dhoni Water Villa
The split-level villas, known for its distinctive Dhoni design, include one bedroom and provide the impression of floating above the water. From the main living room, a private overwater terrace stretches forth where loungers and a dining table are set up for visitors to enjoy. Visitors can enter the blue lagoon via a staircase and take a brief dip. These types of villas also contain a bathtub and a separate shower cubicle.
Dhoni Loft Water Villa
These villas are an excellent choice for families because they are slightly larger than Dhoni water villas and feature a spacious lower-level living area with an elevated master bedroom on a mezzanine. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of bringing the outside inside while enjoying the glistening seas. Direct access to the ocean is also provided through a private outdoor deck area. Separate shower stalls and baths are additional features of Dhoni Loft residences.
Loft Water Villa
At these villas, the horizon endlessly stretches ahead in the sunshine while the ocean waves continue to flow past the windows. The outdoor rain shower in these villas is their standout feature, with steps leading right down into the water. Visitors enter the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom through a raised loft, and families can spend the night on the spacious lower deck. These villas also include a bathtub and a private shower stall.
