COMO Cocoa Island, The Maldives
Makunufushi South Male Atoll, Male Maldives Show on Map
Highlights
In 2019, the resort underwent a transformative renovation as part of COMO Cocoa Island's ongoing commitment to an award-winning reputation. Under the careful eye of Singapore-based Lekker Architects, the resort was reimagined adding private pools to both the One-Bedroom Water Villas and COMO Water Villas, creating a new airy Pilates studio, adding a two-floor gym and yoga center, and completely redesigning the interior of every villa. Each of these 33 villas – which include eight Dhoni Water Villas, nine Dhoni Loft Water Villas, ten Loft Water Villas, four One-Bedroom Water Villas with Pool, a Two Bedroom COMO Sunrise Villa and Three-Bedroom COMO Sunset Villas – sit offshore on the southern side of Cocoa, overhanging the lagoon. They are reached by planked overwater walkways. Structures combine New Zealand pine with Kajan thatched roofs. Natural materials are carried through to the interiors, with high raftered ceilings and glossy teak flooring. The island's serenity is reflected in the clean-lined, airy interiors combining whites and blues – more Hamptons beach hut than the usual rough-rustic aesthetic favored by other Maldivian hotels. As with all COMO Hotels and Resorts, cuisine is considered a crucial element of the guest experience. The restaurant is called Ufaa, meaning 'happy' in Maldivian. The Cheong-designed, foot-in-the-sand space – seating 60 diners in both covered and uncovered areas – flanks the resort's infinity-edged pool, in natural wood and Kajan thatch. Ufaa serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. An all-day dining menu is also available. COMO Cocoa Island has a fully equipped watersports center offering kayaking, windsurfing and catamaran sailing from the beach. There is also a comprehensive COMO Shambhala Retreat. Beyond the island, a number of excursions are available, taking guests further into this compelling archipelago of coral reefs. Fishing is also richly rewarding – COMO Cocoa Island's kitchen can prepare the catch for your lunch the following day. But it is diving for which COMO Cocoa Island has its most formidable reputation. The team of staff – all PADI instructors, who can teach courses for all levels, from beginner to specialty certifications up to Divemaster, have in-depth knowledge of local waters, the coral reefs, wrecks and seasonal highlights. Roundtrip airport transfers (speedboat), combined with other COMO Cocoa Island guests, is available.

Dining
Ufaa Restaurant
Ufaa features a blend of Indian and Mediterranean culinary traditions with an emphasis on locally caught seafood, fresh farm-grown produce and healthful COMO Shambhala Kitchen. Every dish is full of natural flavor, with combinations of taste that are innovative but never pretentious.
Faru Bar
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 10.00am until late.
Private Dinning
COMO Cocoa Island offers a range of unforgettable private dining options that provide total seclusion in dramatic spots around the island. The styling can be put together with canopies, candles and discreet service.
Romantic Beach Dinner
Celebrate a special occasion on the sands of Faru Beach, candlelight sparkling off the waves that lap the shore. Dine from our à la carte dinner menu, with a dedicated waiter to take care of your every need.
COMO Shambhala Kitchen
COMO Shambhala Kitchen 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 Kitchen is served at Ufaa and is also available via in-room dining.
Rooms & Suites
Dhoni Water Villa (8)
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. Size 75 sq m/ 807 sq ft.
Dhoni Loft Water Villa (9)
Shaped like a traditional 'dhoni' fishing boat, our Dhoni Loft Water Villas have an expansive lower level living area and a master bedroom on the mezzanine, making them great for families. The design is about bringing the outside space in, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, and a private terrace touching the ocean. Size 110 sq m/ 1,184 sq ft.
Loft Water Villa (10)
In these villas, the horizon feels like it extends forever as you look out from your private sundeck or watch the ocean roll past the floor-to-ceiling windows. The elevated loft features a king-sized en suite master bedroom, while the lower deck's large and airy sitting area doubles up as a sleeping space for families. There is also a secluded outdoor rain shower with steps directly into the ocean. Size 123 sq m/ 1,324 sq ft.
One Bedroom Water Villa with Pool (4)
These light-filled villas sit on their own secluded jetty, each with a private entrance deck, surrounded by the aquamarine ocean.

Three Bedroom COMO Sunset Villa
Our three-bedroom COMO Sunset Villa features two villas connected by a wooden walkway and is named for its spectacular sunset views.
