Cocoa Island

Cocoa Island, an unspoilt dot in the Maldive Islands, is the Indian Ocean outpost from COMO Hotels and Resorts, the company behind Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos.

Expect to find luxury and silence in equal measure. Wild dolphins gather in the lagoon's gin-clear waters. The beach is softly shelving, fringed with wild sea grapes, hibiscus and palms. A lip pool melts into the ocean. Like the hidden corners to your suite, all are quiet places where you can enjoy nature's uncanny power to overwhelm.

This is the essence of Cocoa, a retreat in the purest sense, or serenity found.
