Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives

Wow where do I even begin. As soon as arriving on the island, it felt like home. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Barefoot living is something I never experienced before and for straight into it. Our host was Hajiba and she was super helpful throughout the whole stay. I wish I could remember all of the names of the staff who really stood out to us but Adeel our morning server, greeted us and made our table every morning, but the end of the week he knew our coffee orders by heart! Irufan - funny guy, we only had him on our last night dinner but extremely memorable! Sithik - he was fantastic greeting us at dinner every evening as being polite and welcoming. Bibek- was always on hand to make sure our food was perfect. The food, for me, was excellent, so many different choices at all meal times, the bars served great drinks also. Freshly prepared food at all the stations. Honestly I can not recommend this place enough! We stayed all inclusive in a lagoon Villa. The sunset cruise we had booked was absolutely excellent, a beautiful and wonderful experience. One day we booked the private island excursion and it was phenomenal, the team prepared a lovely lunch for us while we were there too. The island all to ourselves was an immense experience and again highly recommend. We are already planning a visit for 2026!

Amazing experience for my first time in Maldives . Atmosphere is very relaxing atmosphere, clean and spacious rooms, very attentive but at the same time very discreet staff.

Wonderful conclusion to a fantastic holiday. Staff, service and food were all outstanding. Weather was perfect. Great destination to relax. Happy memories. Underestimated power of sun and need to take tropical mosquito spay with high deet content.

A chilled authentic island. This island offers a relaxing atmosphere made by the people! We stayed in a beach villa opposite the lagoon villas with direct access to a lovely beach and blue sea. Thank you to Noaman for looking after us. The food was good, great service by Namal and thanks to the egg station man who made me special omelettes every day! The marine life was not as varied as other places we’ve been but this didn’t detract from a great experience. We got to see some turtles hatching which was a once in a lifetime experience and we were humbled by the turtle hospital and all the work they do to give injured turtles a chance to go back to the wild. The island is clean, easy to get around and we got into a slow rhythm enjoying everything this beautiful island has to offer. The conch bar sunset was a must, the bar staff were attentive, shout out to Yasour who looked after us each day and evening! The staff are friendly, warm and so helpful! I forgot my kindle charger and they charged it for me each day!! Coco palm is a beautiful place, thank you for amazing memories!

The whole Coco palm dhuni experience was beyond amazing. This place is paradise and run beautifully by genuinely lovely people. All the staff have a smile for you and make you feel special. Loved the seaplane experience and seeing the stunning reefs from the air. Such a lovely welcome from the staff. Raazi showed us our beautiful beach villa, right on the edge of the ocean where we often saw eagle rays, sharks and colourful fish float past. He continued to check in on us throughout our stay and organised a fabulous dinner on the beach for our last night. Housekeeping is immaculate here we were looked after by the gorgeous Praytesh. Food we found to be absolutely delicious. Such a range of cuisines and variety of food. All the staff in the restaurant and bars are friendly and attentive. Shout out to Roji, Shirfan, Namal and Shardan in particular. Cocktails at the Beach bar whilst watching the sunset is just a wonderful experience in itself! The house reef is abundant with fish and we met Wilson the turtle more than once! You must also visit the turtle hospital, great to see conservation is an important part of the island. Rosie is the marine educator here and loved listening to her talk about the wildlife and be privy to a turtle nest hatching! Rosie also led our manta ray snorkelling trip and found us an elegant young female who kindly swam right under us. All the trips felt exclusive. Shout out too to Zaaid who made sure not only we saw plenty but also shared his amazing videos! Honestly everyone needs to experience this place. Can totally see why so many people have returned multiple times. Hopefully that will be us too!
