South Male Atoll, Makunufushi Island
COMO's white-sand private island escape in the Maldives is an intimate, romantic resort with 33 overwater villas above a turquoise lagoon. At its heart✯ The spirit of ease - and an exceptional COMO Shambhala wellness retreat. The island is also available for private buyouts, perfect for weddings, milestone celebrations, and exclusive events.
COMO Cocoa Island's 33 overwater suites and villas look like gently curved local dhoni fishing boats, docked at a wooden boardwalk reaching out over the lagoon. The spacious, elegant design evokes both the open horizon, and a sense of privacy, allowing you to slip into the sea from your terrace.
Our split-level Dhoni Water Villas stand out for their unique design: shaped like a traditional Maldivian ‘dhoni’ fishing boat, they make you feel like you’re floating on the ocean. The generous living room is a calming space to relax, while the overwater private terrace has a staircase that leads into the lagoon’s warm waters.
Shaped like a traditional ‘dhoni’ fishing boat, our Dhoni Loft Water Villas have an expansive lower level living area and a master bedroom on the mezzanine, making them great for families. The design is about bringing the outside space in, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, and a private terrace touching the ocean.
In these villas, the horizon feels like it extends forever as you look out from your private sundeck, or watch the ocean roll past the floor-to-ceiling windows. The elevated loft features an en suite master bedroom, while the lower deck’s large and airy sitting area doubles up as a sleeping space for families. There is also a secluded outdoor rain shower with steps directly into the ocean.
These light-filled villas sit on the eastern end of the resort, each with a private entrance deck, surrounded by the aquamarine ocean. Outside, there’s a private pool and a balcony with a daybed, where you can relax as the sun rises and sets. Inside, the spacious living area with floor-to-ceiling windows provides plenty of space to unwind.
Our two-bedroom COMO Sunrise Villa has separate wings, each featuring an en suite bedroom and a private terrace directly above the ocean. The wings are connected by shared living and dining areas, with balconies on either side that let you step directly off the deck into the turquoise lagoon. There’s also a secluded deck, with a private pool that almost touches the edge of the ocean. It is perfect for families and friends.
Our three-bedroom COMO Sunset Villa features two standalone villas connected by a wooden walkway and is named for its spectacular sunset views. Both villas can be booked together as a three-bedroom or separately to suit your requirements.
Faru Bar is an easygoing poolside bar with direct beach access. Our bartenders create cocktails and mocktails to suit every taste, alongside a menu of fine wines, classic cigars and light snacks.
