COMO Cocoa Island, The Maldives

We had an unforgettable stay at Como Cocoa Island! From the moment we arrived, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Every member of the staff, such as Maria, Fanny, Sulthan, Binoy, Nattey and Nazeel, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of — always warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. All the staff were so accommodating towards the kids on our trip, and never failed to play with them. Although there is only one restaurant, the food, as with the usual Como standard, was absolutely delicious at every meal, with a wide variety of options that catered to different tastes and which menu changed daily. The spa was great too. April and Tari were extremely friendly and Tari’s skills surpassed our expectations. The resort had stunning views, and we loved the sandbank so much. The house reef is terrific and we saw hawksbill turtles and nurse sharks while snorkelling. You can even spot eagle rays and sharks from the boardwalk. We thought 6 days was more than sufficient but it wasn’t enough and we hope to come back again very soon.

We stayed at Como Cocoa as part of a Music In Paradise event in June, and this resort really is paradise on earth. It is total laidback barefoot luxury. All the villas sit over a lovely blue lagoon, giving direct access to the most exceptional house reef. We saw an abundance of marine life right from the steps of our villa. Abdulla Wisam and the staff really make this place. We were met by name whenever we encountered them. They are so friendly and engaging and clearly enjoy working at the resort. The food was delicious and the chef is incredibly accommodating, such as allowing a lunch dish to be served for dinner if preferred. He even made up a special dinner for our group as a treat on the last night. The breakfast menu was outstanding. The Dosa and French toast were highlights and little things like ensuring the buffet food was kept covered to prevent flies, put a smile on my face every day. The gym has air con with plenty of equipment. The Hydro pool is a real treat and everyone we spoke to, including us, raved about the spa and massages. Also, the dive centre staff were very knowledgeable and clearly take the safety of guests seriously. Como Cocoa is a real gem and we can’t wait to return next year. I suspect Como Cocoa will be on our repeat list for years to come. Thanks Como Cocoa. See you next year!

This is a beautiful property located just a 30-minute speedboat ride from Malé airport. The property is beautiful… The room design was exceptional, I particularly loved the duplex layout. Having the bedroom upstairs with blackout curtains allowed my partner to sleep undisturbed, while I could use the downstairs lounge early in the morning without disruption. The staff here are genuinely warm and engaging. They go out of their way to connect with guests, and even join in for a friendly game of volleyball, adding a fun, lively touch for those who want to participate. As expected from a COMO property, the wellness offerings were top-tier. The hydrotherapy pool was a standout, I made it part of my daily routine and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Dining was also a highlight, perfectly aligned with COMO’s wellness philosophy. The seafood barbecue evening was especially memorable, with the chef preparing everything fresh to order, each bite bursting with flavour and quality. Marine life is abundant and ever-present. Whether snorkelling or simply walking between the villa and the restaurants, there was always something fascinating to spot, both by day and night.

Our stay was amazing and the service throughout our stay was impeccable once again. Every staff member we interacted with was warm and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. The entire experience was relaxing and the food was consistently flavorful and delicious. A particularly memorable moment was during our journey back, when the speedboat staff noticed dolphins swimming nearby and were kind enough to slow down, allowing us to enjoy the sight and take videos of the dolphins. It was a thoughtful gesture that added a special touch to our farewell. We would also like to make a special mention of Arta, the resort manager, and Wissa, the executive manager. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine warmth made a lasting impression on us. Hope to see you all again soon!

This was the best holiday we ever had. We have travelled our fair share but this place was just incredible. The staff were amazing and made us feel like royalty. The service and food was the best we ever experienced. The place was just breath taking, with clear waters, pristine reefs and an amazing sandbar. We travelled with our 2yo, and we got a babysitter who was so good to our baby. We went surfing and got to surf the Kandooma right and got to go on the boat trips around the place. It was unbelievable, we highly recommend this place for people on honeymoons. It was magnificent. No words can describe how beautiful this place is.
