Cocogiri Island Resort Maldives

We moved from the beach villa to our overwater jacuzzi water villa with ease Upon reaching the room, we loved the view where you'll be able to see sunrise on the left side and the sunset on the right of it. Tried out the jacuzzi pool, swam around our overwater villa throughout the afternoon. We brought bread from the meals and fed the fishes that were always around the villa. During low tide, you could even stand in the water under the overwater villa with fishes swimming around you, all the time. Once in a while, you may see a solo nurse shark swim nearby. The pictures taken are so Instagram-able . Really enjoyed our stay at this resort. After meals, will play at the pool table, air hockey, play darts and table futsal. My son also paid a visit to the gym. There is an Ameera Spa just behind the main dining hall.

Where to even start! I booked Cocogiri as a Travel Agent and after hearing so many great things, I wanted to see for myself. If you're considering the Maldives, Cocogiri is a must. This resort is small, beautiful and personal with peace and quiet for the travellers wanting relaxation or plenty of activities if you're looking for something to do. Resort With only 40 rooms on the island, it sometimes feels like you're the only one there. The team know when to leave you be and when to get involved. There is one bar, one restaurant, a dive centre/watersports, a small shop and a spa. I'm praying it stays like this and management say there are no plans to expand. The beach is pristine with the clearest waters you've ever seen and a house reef that is incredible. We saw sharks, turtles, nemo's, rays, octopus, pufferfish, eels not to mention the Titan Triggerfish who was friendly and quite entertaining. Out of the sea, regular visits from the Heron's, crabs, geckos and the local Maldivian birds are a real treat. Trips There are plenty to do from Cocogiri and we tried them all! The shark and turtle snorkelling is an absolute must and the night fishing was fantastic! Take out a jetski to watch the dophins or a sunset cruise. The activities team are excellent, know their stuff and take great care of you! Accommodation Don't expect mod cons and sleek furniture, Cocogiri is traditional Maldivian and their beach and water villas are beautiful with everything needed. The outdoor bathrooms are an experience and from the water villas, you can sit with your morning coffee and watch the marine life right underneath you. There is a TV with cable, all amenities (don't take shampoos, shower gel etc. theirs are lovely). The beds are super comfortable and the aircon great! We had a beach villa and within 2 steps, we were in the Indian Ocean. We also had a stay in a water villa and I honestly can't decide which I prefer. A split option is a great thing to do! Food This was so much better than I expected from an AI and the staff put great thought and care into the meals. There is a great selection, always a Maldivian and Indian choice but plenty of others. Don't expect burgers and chips, this is way better and options to suit everyone. If for some crazy reason, there is something you don't like, the chefs will always look to accommodation you. If you go night fishing, they will cook your catch the following day! Staff This is where Cocogiri really excels! The staff are fabulous and work incredibly hard to make your stay perfect. Huge shout out to Tina, this lady never stops and went out of her way to ensure we had the most incredible holiday. I am now booking this resort for my own clients as I can say through experience, that this is a dream holiday. I have travelled a lot and this is one where I will return without a doubt! Snacks aren't included on the AI so we took some from home. We left most there as the food is delicious and pl
