The Cocoon Foundation has been established by Cocoon Maldives and You & Me Maldives under the umbrella of The Cocoon Collection hotel group. a project with a primary goal of enhancing the quality of life for locals in the Maldives, particularly in the atolls of Lhaviyani and Raa, which are home to the two resorts.

The Cocoon Collection’s Corporate General Manager, Ahmed Jihad (Jay), launched the event, which was held at You & Me Maldives on December 2, 2022, with a motivational speech on the team’s work to bring the foundation’s three pillars—economic, educational, and environmental sustainability—to life.

In order to foster leadership and confidence in the next generation of leaders as well as to equip and empower outstanding people who want to pursue careers in the hospitality industry, both resorts welcomed school visits from the adjacent islands during the year of 2022. The resorts have also started programs to improve community welfare and environmental awareness. The atoll councils, NGOs, and other stakeholders strongly support the firms’ pledges.

Alessandro Azzola, the managing director of The Cocoon Collection, gave a moving speech in closing, “We feel so lucky to be able to be a part of the Maldives tourism industry and we want to show our gratitude with a sustainable initiative that will help the community in the long run.”
