A fresh start by the Sea at Coco Bodu Hithi
Coco Bodu Hithi invites guests to pause, reset, and reconnect with a sense of calm by the sea through a wellness-focused island experience rooted in mindfulness and balance. Located just a 35-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, the resort offers easy access while maintaining a private and tranquil sanctuary shaped by nature and thoughtful hospitality.
At the heart of this experience is the award-winning Coco Spa, an overwater haven designed for deep relaxation. The spa features eight serene treatment rooms, each named after parts of the coconut palm — a symbol deeply rooted in Maldivian culture. With gentle textures, soft natural light, and the soothing sounds of the ocean, each space encourages guests to disconnect from daily distractions and reconnect with body and mind.
Drawing on time-honoured healing traditions, signature spa journeys include Journey to the Maldives, an immersive ritual inspired by local charm and global wellness practices. Guests may enjoy a Japanese Ko Bi Do-inspired facial to smooth and firm the skin, a Mediterranean-style body exfoliation, an Egyptian milk bath, and an Ayurvedic massage using warmed oils to restore harmony and balance. Couples can experience the His and Hers Coco Fusion Massage, blending specialised Asian techniques with 100% pure Maldivian oil, while younger guests are invited to unwind with the Dream Massage, designed to promote relaxation and restful sleep.
Following each treatment, guests are encouraged to linger and extend the sense of calm in the jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, sauna, and steam room. For those who prefer a more active approach to wellbeing, the resort’s fitness centre combines modern equipment with panoramic lagoon views.
Wellness continues beyond the spa through guided movement and mindful practices. Led by the resident yoga instructor, sunrise yoga sessions energise the body, while sunset stretches offer a gentle way to unwind. Couples may opt for private yoga sessions designed for shared connection and mindfulness. Private sound healing sessions using singing bowls create moments of stillness, helping calm the mind and deepen inner awareness.
Whether through restorative spa rituals, mindful movement, or quiet moments by the ocean, Coco Bodu Hithi offers a wellness journey shaped by balance and the gentle rhythm of island life.
