Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu

Set on the island’s western beach, the Beach Bar is the perfect place to appreciate the glorious Maldivian sunsets. Guests can ease into a deck chair, sink their toes into the sand and look out over the Indian Ocean with a chilled drink or colourful cocktail.

Under the cover of a thatched pavilion, with powdery sand underfoot, Conch Bar & Café is an effortlessly chic spot for an iced coffee, a freshly squeezed juice, or an expertly made cocktail. Set within lush greenery on the southwest tip of the island, Conch Bar also serves flame-grilled burgers, zesty salads and pasta dishes. The bar hosts live music on select nights.

Cornus restaurant serves a delicious fusion of Thai and Maldivian cuisine. Guests can dine under the trees or in a cosy thatched pavilion with soft, warm sand underfoot. Connected to the Beach Bar by a sandy pathway through the garden, guests can enjoy a pre- or post-dinner drink en route.

Cowrie serves a generous buffet for every meal at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu Maldives Resort. Breakfast options range from sashimi to porridge, and lunch offers a splendid selection of fresh fruit, salads, and hot dishes cooked in the open central kitchen. Dinners are a celebration of Asian cuisines, with a Maldivian night on Fridays. The setting is spacious and airy, with a high thatched ceiling and open pavilion sides.
