Tomorrow is another island or so it might seem in the Maldives.
With over 80 island resorts it would take months to sample them all.
The 98-room Coco
Palm Resort on Dunikolu Island in Baa Atoll makes redundant the
idea of searching much farther.
Coco Palm occupying the whole island. This stylish international
resort has over-water (as well as terra firma) suites, chefs who
make even buffet food a treat to look forward to, and plenty of
water toys sailboards, cats, diving facilities, etc. Fish garbed
in dandified colours throng the reef. Loggerhead turtles pop their
heads up for a look-around. From an over-water villa, I can drop
straight into the lagoon from my deck, seeking (but not necessarily
finding) rays and turtles, then climb back up into my private splash
pool.
Later, a dhoni takes us sunset fishing, where we catch nothing but
an exceptionally good view, then on to a deserted cay for a lavish,
bonfire-lit feast where we eat everything but the palm leaf
platters.
