The ideal resort island is one that has a house-reef close by on one side and a beach with a sheltered lagoon on the other. This is exactly what Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu offers. The west side is close enough to the reef edge to swim to while the east side has a large sandy lagoon which is perfect for swimming, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and waterskiing. The lagoon villas have a good depth of water for those wanting to use the stairs down from their sundeck. The island has no unsightly groynes or seawalls and the beach runs right around the island for most of the year, ideal for a stroll in the early morning or at dusk.
Combine an island that has great natural assets with excellent accommodation, superb cuisine and fantastic service and you have a resort that is one of the very best in its price range. Coco Palm offers you everything you could wish for in a Maldives holiday but still at a sensible price. Lack of a swimming pool might be a negative for some but this is compensated for by the fantastic lagoon.
The island is not particularly rich in palm trees. The beach villas are however all surrounded by good levels of vegetation. As you walk around the island you will notice the many commemorative plaques, each associated with the planting of a tree or shrub, offering memories of a wedding, honeymoon or just a memorable holiday.
Coco Palm has a great range of activities available in its recreation centre, including a full size snooker table, table tennis, modern gymnasium, jacuzzi, floodlit tennis and volleyball. The Mandara run Spa located as part of the recreation centre has a full range of treatments and massages to choose from.
The watersports centre has an excellent quality of equipment including the skiboat for those wanting waterskiing and wakeboarding. Being the only resort in the south and west of Baa Atoll, the dive sites are unspoilt and good diving is available.
For those wanting more activity, Coco Plam offers a superb selection of excursions including cruises, fishing, champagne breakfasts plus romantic island visits for honeymooners.
In our opinion Coco Palm has everything that matters for a Maldives holiday.
