Set within the South Malé Atoll, COMO Cocoa Island reflects the quieter side of the Maldives through understated design, exceptional marine life and a deep connection with the surrounding lagoon.
Across the Maldives, each island tells a different story of the ocean. At COMO Cocoa Island, that story is one of simplicity. Inspired by traditional dhoni boats and surrounded by clear lagoon waters, the island invites travellers to slow their pace and experience a landscape where light, tide and reef quietly shape each day.
Days unfold between the lagoon and the reef. Snorkel directly from your villa, drift across calm waters, experience COMO Shambhala wellness and allow the gentle rhythm of the island to replace the pace of everyday life.

COMO Cocoa Island lies in the South Malé Atoll, around thirty kilometres south of Malé, reached by a scenic speedboat transfer of about forty minutes from Velana International Airport with no seaplane required.
The island is small and low, a slender sandbank edged by lagoon and reef, so the ocean is never more than a few steps from the villas.
