Floating elegantly on sparkling shallow lagoon waters, the timber dhonis and villas of Cocoa Island offer luxurious and ultimately private accommodation. Set between the excellent diving of the Kandooma Channel and sheltered snorkelling around the shallows, the hand-crafted suites and villas are linked by a timber walkway to a private island. Here you will find the COMO Shambhala Retreat Spa, a gourmet restaurant, swimming pool, all-day lounge and watersports centre. 

To ensure you return home feeling truly rejuvenated, let us pre-book you a spa package at the COMO Shambhala Retreat. You can choose from a purification, relaxation, rejuvenation or restoration path which will help you to rediscover a sense of mind-body balance. Combined with yoga tuition and healthy cuisine, you will feel the benefits of a complete return to real well-being. If an active path is more your choice, then diving in the Maldives is rated among the best in the world. Join a dive boat from the PADI centre to one of 20 different dive sites, in the undisturbed waters around this quiet atoll. Or, stay closer to home and snorkel straight from your room to the spectacular house reef. End the day with sand between your toes and a private romantic dinner for two on the beach.
