Cocoa Island is a gorgeous private resort with 33 over-
water villas and its own house reef just steps from guests’
private sundecks. The resort’s distinctive, coconut-thatch
water villas have a tropical and nautical theme: porthole-
shaped windows frame exquisite views of the lagoon
while floor-to-ceiling glass doors around the back offer
spectacular ocean views. The resort is renowned for its
wellness spa and first-rate PADI diving and water sports
centre. Superb dive sites close by include Cocoa Corner
and Kuda Giri Wreck.
