Cocoon Maldives Celebrates 8 Years of Luxury and Festive Season

Cocoon Maldives by The Cocoon Collection is celebrating a significant milestone on 26th December 2024, as it marks its 8th anniversary. For nearly a decade, this luxurious resort has offered unforgettable experiences. Following its grand reopening in October, Cocoon Maldives introduced exciting new upgrades, creating the ideal environment for guests to enjoy the festive season in style.

A Revitalized Island Escape

Cocoon Maldives has undergone a remarkable transformation, adding several new features to elevate every guest’s stay. The resort now offers ten brand-new Lagoon Suites, each with a private waterslide. These suites bring a fun and adventurous touch, allowing guests to dive straight into the crystal-clear lagoon right from their room. For those seeking a more peaceful experience, five new Lagoon Suites with private infinity pools offer unparalleled luxury and breathtaking views over the water.

The resort also presents five new Beach Suites with private pools. Nestled amidst lush tropical foliage, these suites offer a secluded oasis of privacy and luxury. They are perfect for guests desiring a quiet retreat in a stylish setting. Moreover, every villa and suite across the resort has been redesigned with modern interiors, upgraded furnishings, and top-tier amenities while maintaining the cozy charm that Cocoon Maldives is renowned for.

In addition to that, for those looking to stay active, the resort now features a state-of-the-art fitness center. Whether guests are working out with stunning lagoon views or participating in an early-morning yoga session at the new yoga pavilion, Cocoon Maldives prioritizes their well-being. The lagoon has also been improved, offering clearer waters and a thriving marine ecosystem, making it the ideal location for snorkeling and water activities. Additionally, the beach area near Kurum-Bar has expanded, providing more space for relaxation, sandcastle building, or leisurely strolls along the shore.

Festive Fun in the Sun

As the festive season begins, Cocoon Maldives transforms into a tropical wonderland. It embraces the holidays with its “Tropical Vibrance” theme. The island comes alive with vibrant decorations and festive activities for guests of all ages. This year, Santa Claus makes a special appearance, swapping snow for sand to bring holiday cheer to the island. Guests can expect a truly magical atmosphere filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The festivities do not stop there. Cocoon Maldives offers a wide variety of activities, ensuring every moment of the stay is filled with excitement. Guests can explore the island’s stunning lagoon, enjoy the newly expanded beach, or embark on daily excursions to discover the island’s natural wonders. Whether snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters or enjoying a relaxing sunset cruise, there is something for everyone.

Each evening, themed nights bring the island to life with a blend of live music, beachside dining, and cultural performances. These nights capture the essence of the Maldives and offer something for every guest. The resort’s culinary offerings also enhance the experience, with island-inspired dishes that combine tropical flavors with international cuisine. For families, the Kids Village stands out, offering a variety of fun activities for little ones while parents unwind and relax.

Cocoon Maldives provides the perfect setting to create lasting memories this holiday season. With luxurious new features, a vibrant festive atmosphere, and a commitment to excellence, Cocoon Maldives ensures that your time in paradise will be unforgettable.

Furthermore, to complete the tropical getaway, The Cocoon Collection offers three exceptional resorts in the Maldives: Cocoon Maldives, Joy Island Maldives, and You & Me Maldives.

From family-friendly adventures to romantic getaways, The Cocoon Collection delivers the ultimate in Maldivian luxury.

OBLU NATURE Helengeli by SENTIDO is diving headfirst into a new chapter for women in scuba by launching International PADI Women’s Dive Month this July. In partnership with TGI Maldives, ELE|NA Ayur Spa, and marine biologist Luca Melodia, the resort has transformed the annual PADI Women’s Dive Day on July 19 into a month-long celebration of underwater exploration and holistic wellness.

Matt Wenger, PADI Regional Manager for the Maldives, sees the extended celebration as a natural evolution of the sport’s growing inclusivity.

“As a leading PADI certified dive centre in the Indian Ocean, the team at TGI Maldives brings exceptional expertise in introducing ocean enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds to the wonders of scuba diving. This July, by extending our PADI Women’s Dive Day celebration into a month-long event at the truly stunning OBLU NATURE Helengeli resort, we aim to welcome even more newcomers to the sport while also offering advanced certifications for existing enthusiasts”.

Expanding Access to Diving for Women and Families

Building on the momentum of receiving the 2024 “PADI Outstanding Contribution to Women’s Diving” award, OBLU NATURE Helengeli and TGI Maldives continue to expand access to diving for women and families. As a result, they aim to create more inclusive opportunities for travelers to connect with the ocean in one of the world’s most biodiverse marine environments.

Located on a remote island in the Malé Atoll, OBLU NATURE Helengeli offers a rare combination of accessibility and adventure. Its house reef lies just meters from the shoreline, while nearby dive sites draw both beginners and experienced divers. Throughout the month, the resort invites solo female travelers, adventurous families, and friend groups to take part in a curated itinerary of dive sessions, wellness activities, and marine talks—all included under the resort’s comprehensive OBLU Island Plan™.

Diving and Wellness Combined for an Unforgettable Experience

TGI Maldives, the resort’s long-standing dive partner, brings more than 40 years of experience to the program. The dive center has consistently supported women in diving, and this year, it offers exclusive discounts on all dives booked by women. That includes the PADI Discover Scuba Dive, a beginner-friendly program that welcomes even non-swimmers into the sport. Meanwhile, experienced divers can join guided excursions into the Indian Ocean to uncover the region’s lesser-known underwater treasures.

In addition to diving, ELE|NA Ayur Spa has introduced more than 18 different wellness activities, scheduled throughout the month. The program includes sunrise yoga, aqua aerobics, and core stability classes—each designed to improve flexibility, stamina, and breath control, all essential elements for divers. Moreover, women who book any dive with TGI Maldives also receive a discount on two signature spa therapies: the Coconut Shell and Sand Bundle massages. These treatments draw on traditional Maldivian healing techniques and use only sustainable, locally sourced ingredients.

TGI Maldives Operations Manager Greta Marcelli shared the inspiration behind this year’s expanded Women’s Dive Month.

“There’s nothing like seeing guests’ emotions after their first dive. While we celebrate women in diving year-round, PADI Women’s Dive Month in July provides a platform to offer more reasons to join us in paradise. Partnering with the ELE|NA Ayur spa team and Marine Biologist Luca Melodia, we are creating an unforgettable and educational journey. We aim to bring together women, friends, and families for an immersive escape. Guests will enjoy diving, spa wellness classes, and all-inclusive dining. It’s a soulful island adventure into the aquatic world and beyond.”

To celebrate, OBLU NATURE Helengeli offers a 20% discount on fully inclusive stays of four nights or more during July. Women who book PADI dive courses through TGI Maldives receive 20% off all certifications throughout the month, while ELE|NA Ayur Spa matches that discount on its signature Coconut Shell and Sand Bundle treatments for female guests.

With its combination of world-class diving, award-winning wellness, and a mission to uplift women in the sport, OBLU NATURE Helengeli is turning July into more than just a getaway—it’s a gateway into the ocean’s wonders.
