Situated in a UNESCO biosphere reserve, it hosts unique curated experiences including unforgettable private moments such as a picnic or barbecue on its own deserted island of Embudhoo a 15-minute boat ride away – and even the chance to spend a night in the island’s one traditional beach hut.
Coco Palm Dhuni Kohlu also has strong links with neighbouring islands and guests can take a boat trip to visit local artisans on Thulhaadhoo, famed for its lacquerwork. The island is also a nesting site for endangered green sea turtles and has its own turtle rescue centre, where you can join the marine biologist and resident vet releasing hatchlings into the ocean in season.
Among Coco’s sustainable initiatives are a kitchen garden providing herbs, fruits and vegetables for the restaurants and bars, and for use in the private dining experience, which includes candlelit dinners for two. There’s also a spa including the like of spice baths and Ayurvedic treatments for the ultimate in rejuvenating body and mind.

Villas are spacious and stylish, with dramatic bathing areas with large central tubs and sunken living areas with a personal bar. Most sleep up to four, making them ideal for families.
It’s a place to meet hawksbill turtles and nurse sharks, swim near manta rays (as well as the house reef, you’re just 15 minutes from the much-loved Turtle Point reef), go fishing at sunset, and feast on a picnic breakfast on a sandbank.
All-inclusive packages include free of charge snorkelling equipment and non-motorised water sports as well as delicious dining. Indeed, this is a great resort for foodies, with everything from degustation menus to sushi served in its five restaurants and bars, all of which have blissful lagoon and sunset views.
