Experience Wellness At The Tranquil Como Cocoa Island
Monday 2nd of January 2023
Located in the calming waters of South Male’ Atoll, Como Cocoa Island is a remote tropical recluse in the Indian Ocean. Enclosed by nature’s best views, the serenity exuded by the resort holds it in high regard as a deeply restorative destination. Further adding to this claim is the tranquil COMO Shambhala Retreat on the island, nestled amid the lush green foliage and overlooking the turquoise lagoon.
Shambhala is derived from the Sanskrit term meaning ‘peace’ and alludes to the pursuit of balance. It is also the core essence of COMO’s approach to wellness, integrating contemporary science with ancient traditions to curate a holistic treatment for guests. Through these innovative methods, the Shambhala retreat helps wellness seekers to align their mind, body and spirit.
The wellness centre at COMO Cocoa Island also ensures an intricately crafted and personalized service, making visitors feel like they’re the only guest at the retreat. Cocooned in blissful privacy, the confines of the centre offer a myriad of unique treatments, experiences, and products all available to elevate the experience. Further enhancing these bespoke services is the signature COMO Shambhala Cuisine, a selection of healthful nutrition-based dishes produced using organic ingredients in nourishing formulas.
The two-storey tall wellness centre is equipped with four massage pavilions, an open-air yoga pavilion on the top floor and a fully stocked gym on the lower floor. It is also home to one of the few hydrotherapy pools in the Maldives, where high-pressure jets massage the body in a safe, guided and powerful manner. The single and double massage pavilions each feature garden showers and tubs, immersing guests in the greenery of nature. A pilates studio is also among the lineup complete with a reformer, Cadillac, ladder barrel and combo chair. A steam room is located on the ground floor for guest use as well.
Immerse in carefully curated experiences at the retreat where several treatments ranging from signature massages to invigorating facials and body care are available. Or delve deep into modalities made to offer targeted benefits. Some of the exclusive treatments offered here include COMO Shambhala Cleanse, COMO Shambhala Sleep, COMO Shambhala Glow and COMO Shambhala Bespoke. Adding to this is a daily schedule of activities for all in-house guests to enjoy such as yoga and pilates.
