The Cocoon Collection is preparing to expand its presence in the Maldives by unveiling the next addition to its exclusive properties in the destination. The new property named Joy Island is set to welcome guests starting this September 1st, 2023 and can be reached via a 40 minutes speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. The five-star resort is reputed for its unique geographical shape, appearing as a butterfly when viewed aerially.
Joy Island will also bring guests the best of its natural assets ranging from white powdery beaches to turquoise lagoons and remarkable coral gardens resident to plenty of fauna. Dubbed the island of happiness, the name ‘Joy Island’ captures all the pleasures that can be enjoyed on the premises regardless of what type of vacation guests are leading. Whether it be a romantic rendezvous, a family getaway or a group diving experience, the resort is ready to elevate stays with its offerings.
The to-be-introduced resort will mark The Cocoon Collection’s third resort in the Maldives and the sixth under its portfolio. Echoing the colours of nature, Joy Island is designed to harmonise with authentic Maldivian influences. The contemporary styles are exhibited across all its 151 villas dotted along the beach and lagoon, with guests offered a choice between sunrise and sunset views. Additionally, stays will be uplifted further by the typical Maldivian-designed open-air bathrooms.
The much-anticipated gastronomy on the island will consist of four dining venues, each characterized by its own distinct tastes and setting. The main restaurant on the property will be ‘The Market’ where globally renowned flavours will be served in daily-changing street food themes. Italian dishes will be highlighted at the il Basilico while scrumptious tapas and paella will tempt guests at the Chiringuito at the tip of the island. Over at Rainbow, guests can treat themselves to refreshing cocktails in a vibrant atmosphere.
A sublime spa experience awaits at Dream Spa, where healing for the mind, body and spirit can be blissfully indulged in. Those seeking adventure can fill up their time at the PADI centre, take up watersports or opt for boat excursions to explore the untapped expanses of the Indian Ocean.
