COMO Cocoa Island
All of Cocoa Island’s suites and villas are over the water in the form of a dhoni, a traditional fishing boat, with a short staircase out the back door, leading from a tiny balcony straight down into the ocean’s shallow waters. The “boats” are firmly moored to the sea floor, as you can see at low tide, but at high tide the gentle waters lap against the edges of the balcony. The view from the bed, through large French windows, is nothing but calm and unbroken Indian Ocean as far as the eye can see.
Don’t come here to be entertained, as there is nothing at all to do, aside from the standard array of water sports (actually quite a bit better than standard, given the stillness of the waters — the diving here is fantastic), and the relative inactivity of the spa. There is no nightlife to speak of, no town to visit, nothing but yourself, your dhoni (or villa) and your traveling companion, whether a loved one or a good book. A restaurant and a bar alongside the infinity pool, right on the beach, see to your dining and drinking needs. But in terms of getting away from it all, it is difficult to imagine a more delightful sort of seclusion, or a better place to be shipwrecked.
How to get there: Speedboat transfers are required for stays at Cocoa Island. You will be met at Malé International Airport and transferred to the resort. From the airport, it’s about a 40-minute journey south to Cocoa Island, locally known as Makunufushi. Costs are as follows, subject to additional taxes and service charges, not included in room/package rates:
— Round-trip, per person, scheduled flights only, shared boat with other guests: free for infants one year or younger, $175 age 2–11, $350 age 12 and older.
— One way, private boat: $900 up to 4 persons.

Beautiful location, excellent staff, tremendous food. Loved the sense that there was virtually no-one else around - despite near full occupancy by the end of my stay, even the restaurant seemed quiet and empty.
Secluded, luxurious & simple
