Experiences at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu

Big-Game Fishing

Afternoon · for two, all ages

Offshore trolling, jigging and popping for marlin, tuna, sailfish and dorado — a different boat and crew from the sunset hand-reel trip.

Cinema Under the Stars

Evening · for two, all ages

An open-air cinema screening, whether at a fixed venue, a jungle clearing, a sandbank or a private beach setup.

Coral Adoption & Restoration

Morning · all ages, restorative

Hands-on reef and marine conservation guests can join directly — adopting or planting coral frames, mangrove planting, and turtle-rescue visits with a hatchling release.

Destination Private Dining

Evening · for two

A private meal on the beach, in a villa, a garden or an overwater deck, arranged by a private chef and butler outside the resort's own restaurants.

House-Reef & Guided Snorkel

Morning · for two, all ages, restorative

A guided swim over the house reef, off the beach or a short boat ride out, with private, night and beginner variants at resorts that run their own dive centre.

Kids' Club Programme

Morning · all ages

The resort's own kids' club — supervised, age-segmented crafts, sports, water play and themed activities, running under dozens of different in-house names.

Manta Ray & Whale Shark Encounter

Morning · for two, all ages, restorative

A guided snorkel or speedboat trip to a seasonal manta ray or whale shark aggregation site, mainly Hanifaru Bay and South Ari Atoll, from resorts close enough to reach it.

Nurse Shark & Turtle Safari

Morning · for two, all ages

A guided boat or snorkel trip built around one resident species — nurse sharks, sea turtles or reef sharks — rather than a general reef swim.

Learn to Dive (PADI/SSI Certification)

Morning · for two, all ages

A PADI or SSI dive centre running everything from a first discover-scuba dive to full certification, with Nitrox, night diving and DPV add-ons at the larger operations.

Private Sandbank Dinner

Evening · for two

A private breakfast, lunch or dinner staged on the resort's own uninhabited sandbank, set before you arrive and cleared without trace after.

Sunset Dhoni Cruise

Evening · for two, all ages

A traditional-dhoni or general boat cruise timed to sunset, typically with champagne and canapés, distinct from a dolphin-specific trip or a private yacht charter.

Sunset & Traditional Hand-Reel Fishing

Evening · for two, all ages

Dhoni-based hand-reel fishing at sunset or after dark, in the traditional Maldivian style, for reef species rather than offshore pelagics.

Sustainability, Garden & Behind-the-Scenes Tour

Morning · all ages, restorative

A guided tour of the resort's own sustainability operations — organic or hydroponic gardens, eco-centres, naturalist-led nature walks.

Before you book

Is the resort suited to families with children?

All six villa categories accommodate two adults plus one child and an infant (or three adults); the Sunset Lagoon Villa alone is built for two adults with two children. The factsheet doesn't name a dedicated kids' club or family-specific facility, so activities for younger children would need confirming directly with the resort before booking.

How good is the snorkelling?

The factsheet doesn't describe a house reef in detail, but the resort runs Coral Garden Snorkelling and Snorkelling with Manta Rays as group excursions, and Hanifaru Bay — a 20–25 minute speedboat ride away — brings manta season from May to November and whale sharks from August to November.
