Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu offers a unique perspective on our island’s natural beauty.

Surrounded by flourishing reefs and islands with whitest of soft sands and crystal-clear water scattered like pearls across the ocean, Coco Collection – a leading resort brand in the Maldives – offers guests to explore and immerse themselves in the extraordinary underwater world of Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu.
Nestled in the crowning jewel of Maldives, Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu is famed for its everyday sustainability initiatives. Setting the benchmark for sustainable luxury, the resort retained the title of Maldives’ Leading Green Resort 2025, marking its third successive win at the recent World Travel Awards. While the effort to protect and preserve a healthy marine eco system continues, the resort invites travellers to discover its signature marine experiences – all under the guidance of the resident Marine Educator Rosalie Bailie and supported by its long-standing partnership with the Olive Ridley Project. The signature experiences include:
• Guided Snorkelling: Explore the house reef or venture out nearby coral gardens with the expert guides. These adventures are crafted with skill levels and often include encounters with green sea turtles, parrot fish, and seasonal chances to witness manta rays and eagle rays in Baa Atoll. Guests can adventure at nearby turtle points as well as spectate hawksbill's munching away in the coral.
• Coral Planting & Restoration workshop: In an effort to restore damaged reefs and foster marine biodiversity, the Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu presents conscious travellers the opportunity to engage in vital conservation efforts. With the guidance of the Marine Educator, guests can plant coral fragments onto the reef frames which is then placed to the seabed to regenerate damaged coral reefs. This process helps to restore degraded reefs and enhances biodiversity in the surrounding area.
• Discover Scuba Diving: Whether you are a beginner or an advanced diver, the island offers access to over 30 dive sites in the region with certified PADI instructors. This includes visiting the manta ray and whale sharks at one of the most famous sites, Hanifaru Bay, as well as dives among coral pinnacles and historic wrecks within the atoll.
• ORP Marine Turtle Rescue Centre Tour: The resort is home to the Maldives first fully equipped, veterinary-run rescue centre for sea turtles, run in partnership with the Olive Ridley Project. Guests are invited to meet and feed rescued turtles recovering from entanglements or injuries, learn from the team about the threats these creatures face, adopt a turtle, and support the conservation of this endangered species.
• Night Snorkelling: Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu offers guests the chance to experience the reef in a different light. Guided by the Marine Educator, this unique night-time excursion reveals the fascinating transformation of the reef after sunset and introduces guests to the vibrant marine life that emerges in the dark. Spot striking lionfish, slumbering parrotfish, and a host of other remarkable night-time creatures on this after-dark snorkelling experience.
