Coco Collection is gearing up for the reopening of its two resorts, Coco Bodu Hithi and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, on August 1.

The islands have enhanced their already rigorous cleaning and disinfecting protocols for the reopening to ensure the health and safety of all guests.

The new operational standards at Coco Collection are being vetted by Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspections and certification.

Their team of expert advisors help ensure maximum efficacy in preventing the spread of all viruses and pathogens, including Covid-19.

Oversight is provided by Dr Amesh Adalja, Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Centre for Health Security and fellow with the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and Dr Ruth Petran, Senior Corporate Scientist at the Food Safety and Public Health division of Ecolab, global leaders in cleaning and hygiene and trusted advisors to the American Centre for Disease Control (CDC).

Additionally, Coco Collection is committed to Coco Safe Pledge, a series of extensive safety and health guidelines for guests and associates. This pledge combines the group’s dedication to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Every operational aspect of a guest’s experience has been reviewed from arrival and airport transfers to housekeeping protocols and beyond.

The pledge includes physical distancing, mandatory digital temperature screening upon arrival, personal safety welcome packs provided in the villas, and digital communication in place of physical contact where possible, among many other measures.

“Our top priority remains the safety and health of Coco Collection’s valued guests and team,” Hussain Hilmy, Board Director of Coco Collection, was quoted in a statement, as saying.

“Between the Coco Safe Pledge and Bureau Veritas Safe Guard and Hygiene Excellence Certification, we remain committed to the implementation of new standards of safety.”

Two islands — Coco Bodu Hithi and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu — comprise the Coco Collection brand.

Coco Bodu Hithi, the flagship property in Coco Collection’s portfolio, is a chic retreat where you reconnect with yourself, your loved ones and the wonder of the natural world. Translating island life into contemporary sophistication, the resort, which is accessible by a 40-minute speedboat ride from the main Velana International Airport, offers 100 villas that are surrounded by the calm view of the lagoon and the soothing sound of the waves, seven restaurants and bars that celebrate a variety of exquisite cuisines, and an award-winning wellness zone.

Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu is dedicated to the inspiring beauty and natural wonder of the Maldives. Here, environmentally-conscious touches are woven into luxurious natural surroundings and initiatives contribute to the environmental and social sustainability of Maldives.
