“We are so honoured to have been voted amongst the best resorts in the Indian Ocean by the

convey authentic, locally inspired hospitality to the rest of the world. Coco Bodu Hithi and Coco
Palm Dhuni Kolhu were each created with environmental sustainability and social responsibility at
their core, interwoven with a commitment to preserving the local traditions and sharing the unique
heritage of the Maldives through superb hospitality.
