On the west side lies the Kandooma Channel, considered to be one of the best dive sites in the Maldives; on the other side is a quiet reef for snorkelling flanked by a curl of rockless beach which tapers into a spit of sand. This is as long as the island, disappearing with the advance of the Maldivian tide.

ACCOMMODATION:
Expect gentle cossetting in a blissful wilderness. Rooms are inspired by dhoni boats, as used by local fishermen, adjoined by simple wooden walkways built above the shallow ocean. Each is its own discreet fiefdom. From your room, walk out on to a private terrace; from your terrace, slip into a warm Maldivian sea.

The view from the wide platform bed is directly out to the watery expanse. And the bathrooms, all with double sinks, a bath and shower, share the horizon views. The rooms are categorized as:

• Dhoni Standard Suites: These eight rooms (five doubles, three twins) have a split-level bedroom/seating area, a private sun deck and large bathroom
• Dhoni Loft Suites: These nine loft-style suites have a mezzanine level featuring a bedroom and ensuite WC, as well as a large living room, bathroom, and private sun deck
• One-Bedroom Villa: Our four one-bedroom villas feature a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, outdoor shower, guest WC, sun deck and generous living space
• Two-Bedroom Villa: Our two headline villas each have two bedrooms (one double, one twin) with ensuite bathrooms, outdoor showers, living/dining rooms, a kitchen, guest WC and four sun decks. The 'Sunset' villa has a private jetty.

RESTAURANTS:

• At Cocoa Island, eat like a castaway - fresh lobster, caught locally, cooked in the Keralan style. Dine feet-in-the-sand at the main restaurant, Ufaa, beneath an alang-alang pavilion and huge Maldivian sky.
• Menus change daily, blending Indian and Sri Lankan traditions with an emphasis on seafood, tandoor and organic, locally-sourced produce. Spicing is used with a lightness of touch. Choice is always tantalising, promising simplicity in the tropics, and sophistication for the more demanding gourmand.
• There is also a hotel bar, Faru, open from 10am until midnight, serving fine wines, exotic cocktails and energising juices.
• At Cocoa Island, we provide comprehensive room service menus, as well as a healthful COMO Shambhala cuisine.

RESORT FACILITIES:

• At Cocoa Island, indulge in nature's bequest, from dust-white sand between idle toes, to a warm blue sea that turns blush-pink with the falling light.
• Some guests find their own stretch of beach; others prefer to relax in privacy on their suite's hidden terrace, or lounge beside the resort's main swimming pool - cobalt, melting into an empty horizon.
• There is a watersports centre, a fully equipped Dive Centre, gym with yoga facilities, and a COMO Shambhala retreat offering a full range of treatments including massages, Ayurveda and facials.
• Our library features an extensive book collection; games are also available, which can be delivered to your suite. A hotel boutique sells a carefully edited selection of gifts as well as holiday necessities like hats and sun lotion. We also have a 24-hour concierge.
