More on Coco Palm - Dhuni Kolhu, Maldives
Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu offers extreme luxury and privacy in the Maldives
Mention the Maldives and heavenly images of snow-white sand, rippling turquoise water and the world’s most luxurious hotels enter the mind. Those fortunate enough to have experienced this Indian Ocean paradise will know that the reality is as picture-perfect as the postcard.
Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu was the hotel that first put the Maldives onto the luxury travel map, opening its doors in November 1998. Located on the breathtaking island of Dhuni Kolhu – a 30-minute seaplane transfer from the capital Male’ – Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu has 98 charming Maldivian-inspired villas, offering luxurious living in an eco-friendly, tropical environment.
The island’s squeaky soft sand, gentle ocean breeze and beautiful tropical surroundings make it impossible to not feel instantly relaxed. Charming simplicity, romantic style and natural design describes the interiors of the accommodation. A policy of no televisions ensures that the castaway experience is maintained. Bringing the beauty of the outside world in, the villas are built in a traditional Maldivian style with thatched roofs, rustic materials and natural fabrics.
Surrounded by stunning beaches and natural coral reefs, the Lagoon Villas hover above the water and are the ideal spot to watch the sun go down. Reached by a wooden boardwalk, the villas offer plenty of space to unwind and bathrooms are stunning, featuring slate tiles and rustic amenities. Step out of bed and straight into the lagoon for a refreshing, early morning swim. For those seeking all-out indulgent luxury, the resort’s two Sunset Lagoon Villas are the ultimate retreat with mesmerizing views, stylish living room, spacious bedroom, ocean-view bathroom and a private terrace with plunge pool. What’s more, the villas come with their very own butler to attend to every need.
Guests who prefer to stay on land can relax in the Beach and Deluxe Villas nestled in amongst the lush vegetation and coco palms. The 57 Beach Villas and 27 Deluxe Villas offer the perfect place to relax with open-air garden bathrooms, spacious high-pitched bedrooms and private terrace. The Deluxe Villas also feature a spa bath and plunge pool as well as ‘his and hers’ wash-basins.
When it comes to dining, foodies are spoilt for choice at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu. Large, tent-like pavilions house the various restaurants and bars. In the Cowrie Restaurant, guests can choose between buffet-style and a la carte while picking up culinary tips from the live cooking demonstrations. Cornus Restaurant is the ideal spot to admire the island’s natural beauty, whilst enjoying a delicious menu of traditional Thai, Maldivian, Indian and other Asian dishes. Freshly grilled fish and seafood are order of the day at the open-air Cornus Grill, while the Conch Bar and Lagoon Bar provide a laid-back area for a pre- and post-dinner cocktails. Those who are too relaxed to leave their villa can make use of the in-villa dining menu.
Whether a trip to the Maldives is an opportunity to have a romantic holiday for two, discover new activities, or just the perfect excuse for indulgent pampering, Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu offers it all. The Coco Spa, located in the heart of the island, has four treatment rooms and offers a relaxing menu off Thai, Indonesian, Ayurvedic and Balinese treatments using natural products from the Coco Spa range. Energetic couples can head to the PADI-certified dive school and water-sports centre where they’ll find snorkeling, catamarans, surfing and water-skiing. Back on land, table-tennis, badminton, tennis, volleyball and a fully-equipped fitness centre are available. Boat trips, dolphin watching and private yacht excursions can also be arranged.
A trip to the Maldives will be remembered forever, but for a truly unique memory to take home Coco Collection’s ‘Uniquely Coco Experiences’ are not to be missed. From an evening with a Maldivian family to a romantic night on a desert island, guests can enjoy an authentic taste of traditional Maldivian life.
If heaven on earth exists, Coco Collection (including our sister resort, Coco Palm - Bodu Hithi) offers two distinctly different places to experience it. As the future of the Maldives remains uncertain, a trip to this paradise should be put to the top of every luxury traveler’s wish list.
