COMO Cocoa Island has reopened on the 9th of January 2020 following a seven-month refurbishment. COMO Cocoa Island is home to 33-overwater villas inspired by local Dhoni boats, the accommodations have been recast top-to-bottom with clean-lined contemporary interiors created by Singapore-based Lekker Architects. The resort also gained an open-sided Pilates and yoga studio, which sits in an elevated position above the lagoon offering 360-degree views. A thrid of the private Island is occupied by the COMO Shambhala Retreat, the island's wellness centre, which offers Asian-based wellness therapies, nutritional advise and exercise in the resort's state-of-the-art new gym. A highlight is the hydrotherapy pool with high-pressure jets used for water-based treatments. COMO Cocoa Island is also providing activities to complement the holistic wellness offering, such as a PADI-certificate dive centre, reef diving, wreck diving, UV night snorkeling and whale shark expeditions.

Cocoa is in south male atoll and like nearly all resorts in the Male atolls you will see other resorts and islands. You will have boat and plane traffic - but honestly there appeared to be much less traffic than in September last year. This is our third trip to Cocoa. The first time before the renovations we stayed in a Dhoni Loft villa. The next time in September last year and we stayed in a Loft villa. This time we stayed in a Dhoni water villa and I absolutely loved it. The room is the smallest on the island but the bedroom and living arear are all on the ground floor. So we had an absolutely amazing views from our bed. We stayed in 819 and the view was pretty much open sea. The new extended deck and roof provided us with open air and shade for most of the day. If you like lying in the sun you may choose a different villa or know that you will need to walk to the beach or pool to lie in full sun. Also the depth of water allows for swimming all day. This room type does not have an outdoor shower if that is a deal breaker for you The bed is SOOO comfortable. We miss it now we have left. The room does not have a desk but they provided a table and chair for my husband to work at. The addition of cushions to the outside chairs also made a world of difference to sitting outside. Also these villas have two lounges not the double loung I found annoying in the Loft Villa. ALso I found the day bed much more comfortable than the couches. They have only one restaurant but everything we had was tasty and well cooked. And the Halfboard plan is extremely generous .Drinks were well made and very tasty. The reef is a great place to spend many hours a day. This time we did not get a guided tour which was a mistake as I think we missed the best part of the Bay reef - which I never even knew exisited till this trip. We had the most amazing sunset dolphin cruise and unbeliveable room decoration for our 40th Wedding anniversary. I cannot thank all involved enough. Another change is that butlers/villa hosts are assigned not based only on room category but on needs as well. So oldies like us get extremely well looked after by a decictaed member of staff- thank you Fanny. Every single staff meber was fanastic and too numerous to mention by name. Due to the fact I had a precovid credit with Luxury Escapes I booked through them. However I would recommend contatcing a specialist agent or the resorts direct. Last year we got 2 free massages (BTW the Spa is sensational) by booking direct and this year I noticed they had free upgrade and resort credit. If I am being picky and fussy - which I am - I would suggest the menu could be a bit more sophisticated for dinner for the 5 star level. I also think the wine list could be expanded. Although I found a very nice French wine I was happy with. We will certainly return…

Due to Covid we came back to Cocoa Island after three years and after renovation. We were very excited to our sixth return to this jewel - and yes it is still great here! The renovation was very sophisticated and they only improved things that make sense (Yoga,Gym) We stayed there for one week and came to the conclusion: one of the best resorts on Maldives if you look for quietness, nature and great food. We definitely come back! Thanks to the whole staff for professionell and great service

We found HEAVEN on earth, from service to food to accommodation 10 stars. We will return next year. Nok the yoga/pilates teacher was brilliant, I have never been a Yogi, however i went for the entire 7 days. Kim the physio is an exceptional healer. I had a hip replacement 8 weeks ago and had walking difficulties and excess fluid and after 2 treatments I never felt better. The food is to die for and the staff are so accommodating. They made us feel like Kings and Queens. We will return next year.

What really takes this resort a notch above many other 5 star hotels is the quality of their customer service all the way from their management to restaurant staff / marine activity / spa staff / housekeeping. A few people who really had a positive impact on our trip this time include Hindra, the head Chef, Sithin, Binoy, Vincent, Wisam and Saeed. They are all able to hold very pleasant and interesting conversations making guests feel comfortable and at ease, and without the awkwardness of a “forced” exchange to meet hotel SOPs. There is one restaurant however the dinner menu always has variations and the food quality is superb! We particularly enjoyed the Thai and Indonesian nights plus the biryani on regular nights. My children had the maki roll starters practically every lunch and dinner! There is also a great wellness menu should you wish to eat light. Last year we had left a comment to say that the coffee was not great and we were delighted to see that management had noted the comment and changed the coffee and the way it was being made. I am happy to report that this year it was excellent! The spa and gym is very good. I returned to the spa for another wonderful shambhala massage. The house reef is one of the best we have had in the Maldives and you can swim right here with turtles and amazing marine life without having to take a boat. A big plus! The views are stunning from every angle of this island. Overall this is a wonderful property and meets all our requirements (this was our 5th visit to the Maldives)…

Just returned from our second visit to Como Cocoa Island - the visit held up to all our fond memories from our first time and all our expectations were once again exceeded. Vincent and his team take such good care and made us feel amazingly comfortable. Wisam, Deep, Binoy, Wanni, Kaia, Delma, Muru, Yaya, - the list just goes on and on - every single person at Como is incredibly kind and helpful. We were there with our two children ages 11 and 5 and they too had the best time ever. The house reefs surrounding the island are spectacular and we saw tons of incredible marine life both in and out of the water, sting rays, lion fish, black tipped reef sharks, squid, dolphins and of course a variety of very colorful fish. The food was consistently delicious and housekeeping was terrific. We loved every minute of our stay and are all four looking forward to returning hopefully very soon!…

We have been "repeaters" at COMO Cocoa Island since 2012. A few things have changed--the house reefs are gradually recovering from the coral bleach in 2016, the boats circling around the island have become more numerous. A few things never change, thanks to that: the wonderful and welcoming staff in the restaurant, the spa and the diving school. The beautiful overwater villas. The excellent food. As a special treat, we enjoyed Kim's treatments and NUk's yoga classes. And yes, we will be back.

This was our third trip to magical Como Cocoa island. This is still our top spot to relax and escape the cold European winter months. The formula is very simple: intimate setting, all overwater villa’s with a royal deck over a beautiful house reef and a first in class friendly and professional staff. Exquisite dining. The fact that it is only 30 minutes by boat from Male is definitively a plus - you step out of the plane right into the boat. No need waisting time to catch a seaplane. What attracts us most is the fact that the whole concept is designed to have maximum privacy - no need to mingle with other guests. We saw other guests only at breakfast and dinner and even then we felt we had the whole island for ourselves. A big shout out to Abdulla Wisam who is a director at the resort - he knows every guest by name and helped us with unforeseen departure issues so that we could truly “deconnect” during our entire stay…

Cocoa Island is quite simply paradise. Because it is one of the smallest islands it is able to offer a uniquely personal holiday experience tailored to your every need. Yes it only has one restaurant which might be seen as a negative compared to other larger islands, but the food served is varied and first class and the setting is what dreams are made of. All of the villas - which are stunning - give direct access to the beautiful tidal lagoon making swimming and snorkelling just perfect and I would argue infinitely preferable to dipping into a small private pool offered by the larger resorts . Without exception, the staff are outstanding as evidenced by the longevity of their service. If you are a couple who enjoy total relaxation, indulgent spa facilities with superbly trained staff, daily yoga/pilates, swimming in tranquil blue waters, walking on castor sugar sand and, of course, fine dining every night served by experienced, knowledgeable staff then look no further than Cocoa Island. We speak from experience since 2023 was our 19th consecutive year! Hey, when you find perfection why risk it by going anywhere else?…

The entire maintenance team is just great! Relaxing and doing what you love at the hotel was just wonderful. I would especially like to highlight the team of divers! They gave us a real treat!!! Of course, I would like to thank Mr. Abdudf Wissam for his attention and small pleasant exceptions to the general rules that were provided to us for our convenience! Everything is alright! We are already dreaming of returning to this island and seeing manta rays! The rooms are clean, cozy, and comfortable! The food is excellent! Everything is clean and tidy! The place is gorgeous! Only great comments! Thanks for a great vacation!

After many, many months of research into where we would spend our first trip to the Maldives, we finally settled on COMO Cocoa as our destination of choice. Our driving factors were the quality of snorkeling and diving, the ease of access and the number of rooms. On each count, COMO Cocoa delivered. There is a stunning house reef rich with beautiful marine life; the resort is a short - WiFi included - boat from Malé, and; with only 33 villas, it feels like you've found a secluded escape. For our trip to the Maldives, we ended up visiting 4 different hotels and therefore engaged in some island hopping. COMO Cocoa was the only spot that didn't require a seaplane and what a world of difference it makes. Ignoring the cost of seaplanes, the mere fact that you don't have to deal with the sound pollution of seaplanes flying in and out is something we really came to appreciate. Moreover, seaplanes aren't always able to fly in the case of inclement weather, so you could find yourself missing a connecting flight in the worst case scenario. When it comes to marine life, we knew we were in a diving hotspot of the world and wanted to make the most of it. As Open Water divers, my wife and I spoke to Eddy and the team and soon after decided to do our Advanced certifications with them. The team put us at ease with their wealth of experience, excellent command of English and breadth of knowledge. We entrusted them with everything and had our best dives EVER, with far more experienced divers who joined us saying that it was equally as impressive for them. The size of the hotel meant that we got to know the team and they got to know us. The service was personal and yet not overbearing. The level of care shown was remarkable, with Muru being our star butler who went above and beyond on every occasion to ensure that our 5-year wedding anniversary was one to remember. All in all, I cannot wait to return to COMO Cocoa soon enough. The team told us about how many repeat guests they have and after staying there it's not hard to figure out why. I'll be coming back for the reef, the diving, the food, the decor, the setting, the team, and everything else I've forgotten to mention. Most of all, though, I'll be coming back for the way I felt when I was there. Usually it takes me a few days to feel like I'm on holiday after switching on the "out of office" and stepping off a plane. At COMO Cocoa, however, I almost instantaneously felt at peace because of just how simple and relaxing they made the entire experience from start to finish. Don't waste your leave anywhere else.…
