 A Holiday That Cares

At the heart of the celebrations is Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu’s commitment to marine conservation. The resort is home to the Marine Turtle Rescue Centre, in partnership with the Olive Ridley Project, the ‘first and only fully equipped veterinary-run sea turtle hospital in the Maldives’. Guests are invited to attend Turtle Sunday Presentations, meet the Rescue Team, and learn more about the efforts to return these gentle creatures to the ocean. This initiative reflects the resort’s belief that the season is as much about giving back to nature as it is about celebration.

Season of Wellness and Mindful Moments

Guests at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu can unwind at Coco Spa, tucked beneath lush tropical vegetation, where the island’s natural rhythm sets the tone for calm and reflection. Inspired by native plants and fruits, the spa offers five tranquil treatment rooms and therapies rooted in Indonesian, Thai, and Ayurvedic traditions.
