For the third consecutive year, Coco Collection has cemented its status as a titan of tropical luxury, securing prestigious global accolades at the World Travel Awards 2025. This dual victory celebrates both resorts under the brand’s umbrella: Coco Bodu Hithi as the Indian Ocean’s Most Romantic Resort 2025 and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu as the Maldives’ Leading Green Resort 2025 . These wins underscore an unparalleled commitment to excellence in hospitality, sustainability, and bespoke Maldivian experiences.

Why Coco Collection Reigns Supreme

The World Travel Awards—often dubbed the “Oscars of Tourism”—recognize pioneers shaping travel’s future. Coco Collection’s repeat triumphs highlight its mastery in blending luxury with purpose:

  • Unbroken Excellence: Both resorts have dominated their categories since 2023, a testament to consistent innovation.

  • Guest-Driven Philosophy: Awards reflect votes from travelers and industry experts, validating real-world impact.

  • Maldivian Heritage: As a locally owned brand, it champions authentic culture alongside global standards.


✨ Coco Bodu Hithi: The Art of Romance Reimagined

Nestled in Malé Atoll’s turquoise embrace, this resort redefines intimacy for discerning travelers. Its 2025 “Most Romantic Resort” title stems from:

  • Curated Experiences: Private sunset cruises, overwater villa floating breakfasts, and immersive culinary events with Michelin-starred chefs (like Group Director Martin Cahill).

  • Design Serenity: Spacious villas harmonize sleek modernity with natural beauty—think lush foliage and ocean vistas fostering deep connection.

  • Tailored Magic: From proposal planning to anniversary celebrations, every moment is personalized by staff attuned to lovers’ needs.

🌿 Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu: Where Sustainability Meets Sublime

Located in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (Baa Atoll), this eco-sanctuary proves luxury need not cost the earth. Its third “Leading Green Resort” win celebrates:

  • Pioneering Conservation:

    • Turtle Rescue: Home to the Olive Ridley Project’s Marine Turtle Rescue Centre—guests witness feedings and releases.

    • Coral Revival: Active reef restoration programs travelers can join.

    • Cultural Preservation: Initiatives safeguarding Maldivian crafts and traditions.

  • Barefoot Philosophy: Villas use natural materials; experiences prioritize low-impact immersion in nature.

  • Conscious Luxury: Solar energy, waste reduction, and community partnerships underpin operations.


The Winning Formula: Passion, People, Planet

Coco Collection’s dominance stems from core principles resonating with modern travelers:

  1. Team Dedication: Awards honor staff who turn stays into stories.

  2. Guest Loyalty: Returning visitors shape evolving offerings—like culinary residencies or new conservation projects.

  3. Holistic Impact: Beyond aesthetics, resorts deliver meaning—whether through romance or regeneration.
