Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives

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!

This was our 5th visit to Coco palm DK and was every bit as good as our previous visits Arrived Male met by CPDK rep, who booked us onto the seaplane, got us a taxi to the seaplane terminal where we were met by someone else from CPDK who showed us to the lounge to wait on our seaplane On arrival at the island, we were met by some of the Coco palm team, then to our room deluxe sunrise villa No 75. The staff are amazing, especially in the restaurant. I have a lot of dietary requirements, and they went out the way to make sure I had always something to eat. Room was cleaned daily by our roomboy. The beach and plunge pool were cleared every morning The food in the restaurant was always hot and well presented. My husband thought this year they had less choice of food than other visits but still managed to get something to eat. The banana ice cream is amazing The Porter (luggage guy) is one of the nicest guys we've had the pleasure of meeting and has worked on the island for 26 years (can't remember his name) Would we return for a 6th visit...YES

As always we had a wonderful stay. This is our perfect island for relaxing. All members of the team can’t do enough for us. We have visited this island many times and will definitely be returning again. We have travelled to many other islands but this is definitely our favourite island. We were made to feel more like family than guests. Accommodation and food excellent as always.

Very good experience at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu. I thank asham for his kindness and responsiveness. He was there for us throughout the stay

We have recently returned from this beautiful island having spent a lovely 10 days there. We stayed in a beach villa, tucked away in the 'jungle ' with our own little access path and the beach was literally on our doorstep with our own sun loungers. We were diligently looked after by Shaik who came x2 each day to service our room. He was absolutely charming and made sure that we were comfortable, had everything that we needed, and also decorated the room beautifully for my husband's birthday celebration. In fact all the staff there were very kind and helpful, always with smiling faces. We were most impressed with the choices and variety of the meals served in the Cowrie restaurant All the waiters are amazing. Hasanka took great care of us. The head chef Aakash, who ran the kitchen, was usually on hand at meal times to ensure that all the guests different tastes were catered for. Quite an undertaking , achieved with great success, he and his team should be congratulated. The turtle conservation project is most interesting and well worth a visit Forget your shoes, wind down and chill, if you are looking for a peaceful holiday, in lovely surroundings, this is the place for you.
