Como Cocoa Island - Makunufushi
3.91854, 73.470439Overview
5-star overwater villa resort with direct reef access in the Maldives
Overwater Villas & Rooms
Como Cocoa Island Makunufushi offers 33 dhoni-shaped overwater villas, each designed after local fishing boats. All villas sit above a turquoise lagoon and provide direct reef access for swimming and snorkeling from the deck. The Dhoni Loft Water Villas feature an upstairs bedroom with ocean views and a spacious living area on the main level.
Wellness & Spa
The resort houses the only hydrotherapy pool in the Maldives, located within the COMO Shambhala wellness centre. Guests can book Ayurvedic treatment programmes, body scrubs, and facials, along with daily yoga and Pilates classes. The spa also offers a steam room, sauna, and a relaxation area with views of the lagoon.
Dining
Ufaa Restaurant serves all-day dining with a menu that blends South Indian and Mediterranean cuisines, using fresh seafood and organic vegetables. For a special experience, Cocoa Island offers private sandbank dinners with a personal butler, set on a secluded stretch of sand. Barbecue buffets are available on selected nights, and the COMO Shambhala Cuisine menu focuses on health and nutrition.
Activities & Experiences
Cocoa Island has three house reefs that guests can snorkel directly from the shore or their villa, with resident blacktip reef sharks and turtles. The dive centre provides guided excursions to sites like Kandooma Caves and Cocoa Thila, and a resident marine biologist leads weekly talks and snorkeling tours. Guests can also book sunset dolphin cruises, fishing trips, and complimentary non-motorised water sports such as canoeing and windsurfing.
Location & Access
Como Cocoa Island sits on the private shores of Kaafu Island in South Male Atoll, reachable by a 40-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. The resort is close to the Ari Atoll for marine wildlife excursions and offers easy access to pristine coral reefs for diving. The small size of the island-just 33 villas-keeps the experience intimate, with no internal roads or golf carts needed.
