At Cocoon Maldives, you’ll be able to explore the waters of the Lhaviyani Atoll with confidence and spot some of the Maldives’ many marine residents. In fact, there are 50 dive sites close to this beautiful resort. Visit Shipyard to get an up-close look at the two shipwrecks which sank at the same site, or visit Kuredhoo Express to catch a glimpse of the gentle nurse sharks that live in nearby waters. There are daily diving trips from the resort’s PADI-certified dive centre, catering to all abilities from complete novice to diving pro.

Cocoon Maldives is the Maldives’ first ‘design resort’ and every part of its premises embodies designer Daniele Lago’s vision. The award-winning Italian designer set out to create a retreat that made it easy for visitors to relax, get back to who they are away from daily stresses, and appreciate fine design touches wherever they go. Lago has built a strong online community of those who share his vision, as well as this beautiful resort in the heart of the Maldives archipelago.

Visit Cocoon’s Cube Spa to work away any knots leftover from your flight, or while away the days soaking in the resort’s hot tubs. You can opt for a single pampering session with beauty treatments from Vichy, or book in a couples’ treatment to relax together. And, at the end of each day, you can return to your luxury villa or suite, and unwind in total comfort.
