COMO Cocoa Island is a sanctuary where the architecture of the Maldives meets the philosophy of stillness. Rising from a crystalline turquoise lagoon, the resort’s signature over-water villas are uniquely shaped like traditional dhoni fishing boats, creating a whimsical yet elegant aesthetic that makes you feel as though you are floating adrift on a sea of glass. Here, “barefoot luxury” isn’t just a phrase but a way of life; with no buggies on the island and a powdery sandbank that stretches toward the horizon at low tide, the rhythm of the day is dictated solely by the tides and the sun. It is the ultimate retreat for couples and solo travelers looking to disconnect from a high-octane lifestyle and reconnect with a simpler, more soulful version of paradise.
