What comes to mind when you picture a holiday to the Maldives? At Tropic Breeze, when we think of the Maldives we think of authentic island resorts that offer boutique luxury and showcase the natural beauty of the destination. A holiday to the Maldives is an opportunity to escape to a tropical paradise and enjoy genuine, warm hospitality. This is what Coco Collection has to offer across it’s two resorts – Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu and Coco Bodu Hithi.
Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, Baa Atoll
Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu occupies a private island in Baa Atoll widely considered to be one of the most beautiful in the Maldives. Reached by a 30 minute seaplane transfer from Male, guests will get their first glimpse of the crystal clear lagoon and white sand beaches from the air. Accommodation at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu is in 98 thatched villas, set amid the palms a few steps from the beach or on stilts over the lagoon. All villas offer privacy and traditional comfort, and for the best views we would recommend a villa on the sunset side of the island.
There are two restaurants on the island, The Cowrie Restaurant and Cornus, serving a delicious range of dishes that showcase locally sourced ingredients. The Beach Bar is the perfect spot for a sundowner and Conch Bar serves light lunches as well as refreshing cocktails. Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu also offers a range of excursions and activities, with a PADI certified dive school on hand to help you discover the underwater world of Baa Atoll. Those seeking relaxation can indulge in a treatment at the Coco Spa, where therapies from Indonesia, Thailand and India promote a sense of wellbeing.
Coco Bodu Hithi, North Male Atoll
Coco Bodu Hithi is a tranquil island resort with authentic Maldivian touches. Located in the North Male Atoll, just 40 minutes by speedboat from the airport, the island is is the perfect place for nature lovers to unwind and recharge. 100 thatched villas are set within the lush tropical gardens or on stilts above the lagoon. All villas are spacious and offer seclusion, which along with a private pool, makes for a truly exclusive experience.
With a superb choice of restaurants, there’s something to suit all tastes at Coco Bodu Hithi. Options range from alfresco dining in an over-water setting at Aqua, Japanese dishes prepared at Tsuki and a fusion of Mediterranean and contemporary Asian flavours at Stars. Not to be missed is the Wine Loft, which offers a selection of over 200 wines. There are plenty of unique experiences to be had, from sandbank escapes to sunset fishing on a traditional Dhoni boat. The island also boasts an excellent house reef with a marine biologist on hand to give guided tours of the coral garden and waters surrounding the island.
