COMO Cocoa Island sits in South Malé Atoll (see our Kaafu Atoll guide), and is a clear example of the smaller, boutique end of our boutique vs. large resorts guide — a compact island with a deliberately understated, minimalist design approach rather than a large activity program.
What it's known for
The resort's overwater villas are architecturally designed to echo the shape of a traditional Maldivian dhoni (see our dhoni guide) raised on stilts over the lagoon — a distinctive design link to Maldivian maritime tradition that's fairly unusual among the country's more generically modern overwater villa designs.
This is a factual overview, not a booking recommendation — confirm current villa categories, inclusions and rates directly with the resort or a travel agent.
