Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu occupies a private island in Baa Atoll which is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Maldives. The island's ivory white beaches encircle a lush tropical paradise overlooking a breathtaking, crystal clear lagoon of unparalleled beauty. Reached by a 30 minute seaplane transfer from Male, guests travelling to Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu will be treated to breath-taking views of the Maldives from the air.
Accommodation at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu is in delightful thatched villas, set either amid the palms a few steps from the beach or on stilts over the lagoon. All villas offer privacy and traditional comfort, and in our opinion, those located on the sunset side of the island offer the very best views. For a little indulgence, why not opt for a villa with a private pool?
There are two restaurants and two bars on the island. The Cowrie Restaurant is set in a tent-like pavilion and tucked away amidst lush vegetation, while Cornus serves Thai and Asian dishes with tables set directly on the white sand. Guests can sit back and watch the sunset with a cocktail at The Beach Bar, located on the island's western beach, or relax on a shady deck at the Conch Bar where coffees and light lunches are served.
The island has plenty of activities, from watersports to unique excursions. The PADI dive centre has options available for both novice and experienced divers to discover the house reef and underwater world of Baa Atoll. Those looking to get away from it all can visit Embudhoo Island, an uninhabited island which is less than fifteen minutes away by boat which guests can visit for a picnic or even an overnight stay. If you are simply looking to relax and indulge, then head to the Coco Spa, where a wide range of treatments are on offer in a tropical setting that will immerse you in the serenity of the island.
