Nestled in the turquoise expanse of the North Malé Atoll, the Coco Bodu Hithi resort offers an idyllic retreat to travellers looking for both tranquillity and adventure. Just 35 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, the island sits quietly away from the noisy grip of the city, offering a tranquil tropical escape that lulls the senses with its island rhythm and makes time slow to a gentle pace.
A jewel of the Coco Collection, a premier Maldivian-owned hospitality brand, the Coco Bodu Hithi reflects the island’s spirit in every dimension, showcasing the mystery of the house reef and the elegance of pristine palm-fringed beaches. It offers a gentle invitation to its guests to reconnect with themselves, their loved ones, and the wonders of the natural world. It truly embodies what travel should feel like: a happy, laid-back daily life within the embrace of nature while being well looked after.
Breathe in the crisp ocean air. Let your toes sink into the sun-warmed sand. Swim alongside manta rays and hawksbill turtles, or marvel at the native nurse sharks. Coco Bodu Hithi doesn’t just promise an escape; it delivers a soulful reconnection with the natural world.
Whether it’s a sunset cruise across crystal-clear waters or a vibrant underwater ballet among the reef’s kaleidoscopic residents, every experience here speaks of wonder and awakening.
The Villa Collection
The resort offers a collection of five distinct villa categories, thoughtfully designed to harmonise traditional Maldivian aesthetics with modern comforts. Whether surrounded by lush tropical greenery or floating above the crystal-clear lagoon, each villa is a private sanctuary, promising serenity, style, and spectacular views.
The Island Villas (19) are cocooned by lush greenery just steps from the shore, offering guests a secluded slice of paradise. With open-air showers, private sundecks, and direct beach access, they provide a grounded yet luxurious island experience.
For those drawn to the call of the ocean, the Water Villas and Escape Water Villas (16 each) stretch elegantly across the lagoon. Suspended above the water, these villas offer uninterrupted views of the horizon and the peaceful lull of the sea, a perfect backdrop to awaken each day.
The crown jewel of the resort, the Coco Residences (24), forms an exclusive enclave on the island’s northwest tip. These expansive 184-square-metre overwater villas feature private pools, panoramic vistas, and elevated privileges, including a dedicated Mithuru (personal host), Champagne sunset cruises, cocktail soirées, and wine tastings hosted by the resort’s resident sommelier. From arrival to departure, every detail is meticulously attended to, ensuring a stay that is as effortless as it is extraordinary.
Introduced in January 2025, the 22 Beach Villas with Pool offer the newest expression of barefoot luxury. Spanning 188 square metres, these villas are built amidst lush greenery and open directly onto powder-white sands. Featuring sunken living areas, private pools, and sundecks with loungers and daybeds, they blend privacy and comfort to create the ultimate tropical escape.
Signature Island Experiences
Coco Bodu Hithi offers its trademark thoughtful indulgences, from a dine-around breakfast to a floating breakfast served in-villa, complete with a photographer to capture the moment. Guests can also enjoy a daily replenished minibar, stocked with beers and soft drinks, while residence guests are treated to exclusive bar privileges, ensuring every sip comes with a view to remember.
Wellness lies at the heart of the resort’s philosophy, seamlessly woven into the island’s gentle rhythm. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the Maldives, guests are invited to reconnect with themselves through sunrise and sunset yoga sessions overlooking the ocean. For deeper relaxation, the signature Coco Fusion Massage and soothing Balinese Massage provide a holistic escape that rejuvenates both body and soul.

At Coco Bodu Hithi, every moment is wrapped in thoughtful luxury, and every experience is deeply rooted in nature and culture, offering you a gentle escape from the daily grind. Whether the quest is romance, adventure, or pure relaxation, this island sanctuary offers the perfect relaxed holiday.
