Coco Bodu Hithi

The Resort at a Glance

Pool Hidden Behind Every Beach Villa Resident Hawksbill Turtles Snorkel From the Water Villas Overwater Spa With Glass Floors

Every Beach Villa keeps its private pool behind the villa, in a courtyard nobody else can see into.

Coco Bodu Hithi has its own island in North Malé Atoll, 35–40 minutes by speedboat from the airport. Its 98 villas are spread between the beach, the island's greenery and the overwater jetties, and every one has a private pool. What sets the Beach Villas apart is where that pool sits: it's behind the villa, in a courtyard screened by tropical planting, not out front facing the beach, so it's completely private. Every villa also has a king bed, a bathtub, indoor and outdoor showers and a courtyard daybed. Over the water, the house reef runs right alongside the Water and Escape Water Villas; hawksbill turtles are regular visitors, and the resort's marine biology team has identified more than 180 of them since 2012. On the island you'll find Air, Aqua, Tsuki and Stars, the Latitude bar, and Coco Spa built out over the lagoon.

Best For

Couples and honeymooners who want a private pool nobody can see into, a short speedboat transfer, and a house reef with turtles they can snorkel from the villa.

Why You'll Love This Resort

Private pool in the screened courtyard behind a Beach Villa at Coco Bodu Hithi

Courtyard Pool

House Reef

Coco Spa

Sandbank Picnic

In the Beach Villas, the private pool sits behind the villa in a courtyard screened by tropical planting, instead of out front on the beach side where anyone walking past can see it. That makes it a pool you can use as freely as one at home. Each Beach Villa is 188 m², with the sand out front and the courtyard, pool and daybed behind.

The house reef runs right alongside the Water and Escape Water Villas, so a snorkel starts from your own deck rather than a boat. Hawksbill turtles feed here often, and since 2012 the resort's marine biology team has identified more than 180 of them, naming each one by the unique pattern on its head. Stronger swimmers can head to the east side, near the Coco Residences, for reef sharks, eagle rays and large table corals.

Coco Spa stands over the water at the tip of the island, with eight treatment rooms — two of them with glass floors, so you can watch the reef during a massage. The spa deck has its own pool and jacuzzi, and a yoga pavilion hosts sessions with the resident yoga teacher from sunrise to sunset.

The resort takes couples out to a nearby sandbank for a private picnic and snorkel, and sets up a Sunset Pergola Dinner on the beach — three courses under a candlelit pergola. For a quieter evening there's a moonlight cruise around the nearby islands.

Once a week Latitude Beach becomes an open-air cinema, with popcorn, drinks and beach chairs set out on the sand. For just the two of you, the resort can also arrange a private screening in the Coco Cinema.

Villa Types

Island Villa with Pool

A 188 m² villa set among the island's tropical greenery, with a private pool and a daybed in a garden courtyard. Inside there's a king bed, a sunken living area, a bathtub and indoor and outdoor showers, and it sleeps two adults with two children or three adults.

Beach Villa with Pool

The same 188 m² layout set directly on the beach: you step out the front onto the sand, while the private pool and daybed sit behind the villa in their own screened courtyard. A king bed, a bathtub and indoor and outdoor showers; it sleeps two adults with two children or three adults.

Water Villa with Pool

A 109 m² villa on stilts over the lagoon, with the king bed facing the deck and a private plunge pool beside it. The house reef runs right alongside, so you can snorkel from your own steps. Sleeps two adults with one child.

Escape Water Villa with Pool

At 144 m², a step up from the Water Villa and set further out over the water, with a separate living area, a built-in bar and a private pool on the deck. The house reef runs alongside here too, and it sleeps two adults with two children or three adults.

Also Available

Coco Residence with Pool — a 184 m² overwater residence on its own jetty beside Coco Spa and Stars, sleeping two adults with two children or three adults, with butler service and à la carte breakfast at Stars for Residence guests.

Grand Premier Beach Villa with Pool — the only villa of its kind and the largest on the island at 198 m², on its own stretch of beach, sleeping two adults with two children or three adults.

Activities & Wellness

Snorkel the house reef straight from the Water and Escape Water Villas. The resident marine biologist leads guided trips to Turtle Point, about 15 minutes away by boat, to Shark Point and, in season, to Manta Point, plus group coral garden snorkels on set days; private sessions can be booked on request. Since 2012 the team has also been replanting naturally broken coral in the island's lagoon.

A PADI 5-Star dive centre on the island, with courses for first-time divers through to experienced ones and boat dives to the sites of North Malé Atoll, at extra cost.

The water sports centre runs jet skiing, water skiing, parasailing and wakeboarding at extra cost, along with kayaks and paddleboards for exploring the lagoon at your own pace.

A shared sunset cruise, morning trolling trips and big game fishing, or something just for two: a moonlight cruise, a sandbank picnic with snorkeling, or the Sunset Pergola Dinner on the beach. All are bookable at the resort at extra cost.

An overwater spa at the tip of the island with eight treatment rooms, two of them with glass floors over the reef, plus a pool and jacuzzi on the spa deck. Couples can book the His & Hers Coco Fusion Massage side by side.

A yoga pavilion with sessions led by the resident yoga teacher, an overwater gym and a tennis court. In the evening there's the weekly cinema on Latitude Beach, or a private film in the Coco Cinema.

Getting There

Speedboat Transfer

35–40 minutes from Velana International Airport

Coco Bodu Hithi is about 31 km north of the airport in North Malé Atoll. A Coco Collection representative meets you after arrivals and takes you to the resort's speedboat for the 35–40 minute crossing. The boats are often shared with other arriving guests, so allow for a wait at the airport before you leave.

FAQs

There's no minimum age — children are welcome. Room choice matters, though: the Water Villa takes two adults with one child, while the Island, Beach and Escape Water Villas and the Coco Residence take two adults with two children, or three adults.

Yes, there's a kids club on the island, but it's small and has a limited range of activities. Coco Bodu Hithi is set up mainly for couples rather than as a family resort.

Your package meal plan includes breakfast and dinner daily, served as buffets at Air, the main restaurant, which needs no reservation. Dinner at Aqua, Tsuki or Stars is at extra cost and needs a reservation, so book early in your stay.

There's no separate Indian restaurant on the island. Air, the main buffet restaurant, has the widest choice each day. Tell us your dietary needs at booking and we'll pass them to the resort so the kitchen knows before you arrive.

Position and pool. Both are 188 m² with a king bed and a private pool. The Beach Villa opens straight onto the sand and keeps its pool behind the villa in a screened courtyard, out of sight; the Island Villa is set among the island's tropical greenery. If a beachfront and a fully private pool matter most to you, choose the Beach Villa.

Size, position and layout. The Water Villa is 109 m², with the king bed facing the deck and a private plunge pool beside it. The Escape Water Villa is 144 m² and sits further out over the water, adding a separate living area and a built-in bar alongside its deck pool.

Good, and close. The reef runs alongside the Water and Escape Water Villas, so you can snorkel straight from your deck, and hawksbill turtles are often seen there. Stronger swimmers can try the east side near the Coco Residences for reef sharks and eagle rays. Mantas gather at Bodu Hithi Thila, about 15 minutes away by boat, roughly from December to April.

Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 12:00 noon.
