Theres a mythical land beneath the ocean waves where a veritable water wonderland exists. To experience this, you must first pamper your senses at Cocoa Island, where the ambience draws you to discover the rarest of pleasures. This private island is found in the South east Male’ atoll in the quiet waters of the Indian Ocean where the strongest winds are gentle breezes, and the highest points, leaning palm fronts. Each lagoon is a point of stillness, but the encircling reefs bristle with life.
The island lies just on the east side of the famous dive site Kandooma Channel, considered to be one of the best dive sites in the Maldives; on the other side is a quiet reef for snorkeling flanked by a of sandy beach which tapers into a spit of sand. This is as long as the island, disappearing with the advance of the Maldivian tide. The view from the wide platform bed is directly out to the watery expanse. And the bathrooms, all with double sinks, a bath and shower, share the horizon views.

Dining
Catch the scent of spices in the pure salt air
At Cocoa Island, eat like a castaway - fresh lobster, caught locally, cooked in the Keralan style. Dine feet-in-the-sand at the main restaurant, Ufaa, beneath an alang-alang pavilion and huge Maldivian sky.
Menus change daily, blending Indian and Sri Lankan traditions with an emphasis on seafood, tandoor and organic, locally-sourced produce. Spicing is used with a lightness of touch. Choice is always tantalising, promising simplicity in the tropics, and sophistication for the more demanding gourmand.
There is also a hotel bar, Faru, open from 10am until midnight, serving fine wines, exotic cocktails and energising juices.
