A dream vacation in a truly special place! A beautiful island and a resort with heart and soul. The staff were always incredibly friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was fresh and delicious. Our villa was spotless and cleaned twice a day. The house reef was perfect for snorkeling, and we saw many different kinds of fish and turtles. It was simply beautiful and idyllic! We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Coco Palm Dhuni was truly a dream vacation. From the very first moment, the island felt special – beautifully clean, extremely well maintained, and with an atmosphere that truly feels like paradise. Being there gave us a rare sense of peace, harmony, and closeness to nature. Everything was perfectly organized, from our international flight to the seaplane transfer and arrival at the hotel, and the same smooth coordination applied to our journey home. This made the entire experience completely stress-free and very impressive. We were especially inspired by the wonderful work with the sea turtles and the dedication shown in protecting marine life. The friendliness and attentiveness of the entire team made us feel welcome and well looked after at all times. The food was outstanding, the rooms were beautiful and very comfortable, and overall we felt completely at home. We discovered this island while searching for an eco-friendly, small, and unspoiled island – and it exceeded all expectations. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything was perfect.

From the moment we arrived at Coco Palm for our honeymoon and our first ever visit to the Maldives, we knew we were somewhere truly special. The staff were there waiting for us as our boat arrived, smiling and waving us in, instantly making us feel welcomed and at ease — and they waved us off with the same warmth when it was time to leave. That alone says everything about the people who work here. I become unwell during our stay (due to other health conditions) and I honestly cannot praise the team enough. The nurse, the assistant manager; (Naswan) handled everything so professionally and compassionately. They resolved the issue without me ever needing to leave the island, and at all times I felt completely safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. That peace of mind is priceless, especially when you’re so far from home. The restaurant and kitchen staff were absolutely amazing. The food was incredible — a perfect mix of fresh salads and beautifully cooked meats, with flavours that were out of this world. The front of house team were so polite, attentive, and thoughtful. One evening I was too unwell to make it to the restaurant, and without hesitation the kitchen and front of house staff very kindly brought my meal directly to our hut. That level of care and kindness is something I will never forget. Every single member of staff greeted us as we walked past — always smiling, always saying hello — making us feel welcome, relaxed, and truly at home throughout our stay. The spa staff were incredible and so attentive, the gym was brilliant, and every detail felt considered and effortless. Every morning we swam with turtles, I feel quite emotional thinking back on it all. Our honeymoon was perfect in every way. Coco Palm gave us memories that will stay with me and my husband for a lifetime. We honestly cannot recommend the staff or the resort enough, and we will definitely be back. Thank you SO much, Coco Palm 🤍 You’ve created something truly unforgettable, and we can’t thank you enough.
