Como Shambhala is a holistic spa concept with properties in Bali, Bhutan, Thailand, the Maldives and Caribbean. Set in remote, beautiful locations be ready to change your life for the better – feeling physically and mentally healthier.

Cocoa Island is located in South Male atoll in the Maldive Islands. This is the undisturbed archipelago where centuries of tides have sifted porcelain-fine sands into a dazzling, cushion-soft white.

On Cocoa’s fringe grow wild sea grapes, hibiscus and palms. Diving is among the best here in the world with two private house reefs.

Rooms are inspired by local dhoni boats in bleached wood with alang-alang roofs. They are reached via planked walkways stretching out into the lagoon. From your platform bed, watch fishermen traverse the cerulean sea.

There is a COMO Shambhala Retreat offering yoga and Asian-inspired treatments, dedicated to renewing body and soul.

The restaurant, like the rest of Cocoa Island, honours nature’s bequest, featuring seafood and organic vegetables cooked by an award-winning chef inspired by South India’s heritage. Enjoy all this, and more as well, soaking up the warmth and silence of an understated private island that energises the soul.
