Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, 98 thatched villas on an island 660 metres by 220, in the Baa Atoll biosphere reserve, 30 minutes by seaplane from Malé
A week here, month by monthCoco Palm suits couples who want an open-air bathroom and the quiet of a green island, with the lowest seller on Google showing nights from $538 for 2 adults in November. For days centred on a shared swimming pool, choose another island.
Official websiteDoes it suit you?
5 pairs of hotels, and the guide tells you whether this one suits you.
I would ask for a Sunset Beach Villa: 87 m² on the sunset side, with a shaded terrace and an open-air bathroom, screened by vegetation with a private path to the beach.
In the calendar read on 12 October 2026, each night from 12 to 18 December costs $538 for 2 adults, searched separately. The dearest priced night is 5 January 2027 at $2,200.
For the Stay Longer, Save More offer, add 10% service charge, 17% goods and services tax and $12 Green Tax per person per night to the advertised accommodation rate.
On half board, the dinner allowance at Conch Bar or Cornus is $25 per adult for a 3-course à la carte meal. Drinks, private dining and meals in the villa are charged separately.
Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu belongs to the Coco Collection, which also runs Coco Bodu Hithi, and sits on an island 660 metres by 220 in the south of Baa Atoll, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Its 98 villas come in 6 types, according to the official 2026 fact sheet: 84 on the beach, set back in the greenery, and 14 over the water along a jetty shaped like a palm leaf; 44 have a private pool.
Nature is the reason to come. The island houses the Olive Ridley Project’s sea turtle rescue centre, the first in the Maldives run by a vet, open to guests every day; the house reef lies on one side and a sheltered lagoon on the other, and Hanifaru Bay, with mantas from May to November and whale sharks from August to November, is 20 to 25 minutes by speedboat. Of the 482 Google reviews with text, 91% of those discussing the location are positive.
The rest is a question of style. No television in the villas, no shared pool, rustic villas with thatched roofs and open-air bathrooms: anyone after new finishes and a big pool will be happier elsewhere. 82% of those who mention the staff are pleased. The seaplane is charged separately, and the all-inclusive leaves out the minibar and many bar drinks; on some stretches the beach is protected from erosion by sandbags.

The scores come from 482 Google reviews with text, left from 24 December 2013 to 19 September 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Baa Atoll: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 7 October 2026.
