“Relax in privacy at this supreme getaway island - stretch out in the stilted yoga pavilion, unwind in the world class spa, feast on nature's larder in the fantastic restaurant, and dream about the next day's snorkelling in the lofty-chic stilted villas. ”

Hotel review

Cocoa Island knows how to indulge its guests- with just 33 guest rooms and a ratio of four staff to every guest. Rooms are inspired by local Dhoni fishing boats, reached via simple wooden walkways stretching out into the lagoon. The food makes the best of nature’s larder – lobster, fish and organic vegetables, cooked by an award-winning chef. The COMO Shambhala Retreat is dedicated to renewing the body’s energies, overseen by master therapists and visiting yoga teachers. The ultimate blend of luxury and simplicity.
