Rohit Roy spends family vacay at Hideaway Beach Resort
Renowned Indian actor Rohit Bose Roy, together with wife Manasi Roy and their daughter, are currently holidaying at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa, arguably the best hide away retreat in the Maldives.
Rohit Roy is an Indian movie and television star. In fact, both he and his brother, Ronit Bose Roy, are renowned in the industry.
Rohit is known for his role in Hindi television TV shows such as Swabhimaan. He has also acted in notable Bollywood movies like Kaabil, Fashion, and Shootout at Lokhandwala.
Most people may not know this, but he is a voice-actor as well, lending his voice to such roles like that of Peter Quill / Star-Lord in the Hindi dub version of the popular Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies.
He will be featured in an upcoming star-studded action crime movie titled, Mumbai Saga, co-starring with fellow actor John Abraham, directed by Sanjay Gupta, and produced by T-Series.
This gangster drama flick puts focus on some fictitious incidents that could have changed Bombay into Mumbai. He plays the role of stalwart gangster, loyal and strong in the depiction of a character set in troubled times.
You can check out the trailer for one of the songs in the movie recently shared by the actor on Instagram while chilling at his Maldivian retreat.

Both on and off camera, Rohit Roy is known to be a family man who is the biggest supporter of his wife and daughter in all their endeavours and vice-versa.
As an actor of his stature who demands the best for his family, Rohit Roy chose Hideaway as his vacation venue since the expansive 33-hectare island provides the space needed for the whole family to relax and enjoy themselves in.
Exploration is a key part of the Hideaway experience, and every guest is provided with a bike to traverse between various locations on the island. In this way, staying active, taking amazing photos, and witnessing the natural beauty of the Maldives (or the huge villas!) are all part of the package.
Rohit Roy and his family are so far enjoying their stay at one of the few successful local owner-operated resorts in the country. They are based in one of the largest villas on the island which offers an overwater experience- the two-bedroom Ocean Villa with Pool. This is a prized residence at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa.
To witness the villa life at this expansive natural resort in the Maldives, and especially to see Rohit Roy and his family showing their fans how a hide away retreat is done, check out their social media. Live vicariously through them – better yet, consider having a hideaway of your very own to rest, relax, and recharge at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa.

Rohit Roy and his family are vacationing at a five-star resort that is considered one of the largest natural island resorts in the Maldives. It is located in the northern-most atoll in the country, Haa Alifu Atoll, which has only two resorts.
Nature lovers will be ecstatic to learn that this lush resort is full of beautiful flora, maintained by expert local gardeners and botanists, and curious fauna, like the ever-so-shy white-breasted waterhen and the stoic Stork.
The resort offers a variant of its popular sister resort, Lily Beach Resort & Spa’s super generous all-inclusive meal plan: The White Platinum Plan. Just like Lily Beach, Hideaway offers everything from food and drink, on-the-water experiences (like snorkelling and diving), fitness classes, multiple excursions, and more on an island that is six-times larger than Lily Beach.
Among the resort’s four gastronomic experiences is Samsara, an award-winning restaurant that offers bold flavours of Asian Cuisine and features a fusion of Indian and Japanese influenced foods. The scrumptious Indian dishes at the restaurant are some of the best and remain unrivalled in the country, cooked as authentic as possible by Indian chefs. If you cannot live without good Indian cuisine during your stay, better come down to Hideaway to experience an Indian food coma nirvana at Samsara.

Coco Bodu Hithi and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu curate distinct Valentine’s escapes
Coco Collection is inviting couples to mark Valentine’s Day through two distinct expressions of romance at its island resorts, Coco Bodu Hithi and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu. While each resort presents its own interpretation of love, both are united by a shared focus on authenticity, refined design and intuitive service, offering couples experiences centred on meaningful connection.
At Coco Bodu Hithi, contemporary design is paired with experiences created to encourage closeness and shared moments. Recognised as the Indian Ocean’s Most Romantic Resort 2025 at the World Travel Awards for the second consecutive year, the resort frames each stay around personalised encounters and signature touches designed to feel considered and sincere. These experiences are intended to allow couples to reconnect in an environment that feels relaxed and attentive.
For guests seeking a higher level of privacy, Coco Residence offers a secluded retreat defined by spacious villas, private pools above the lagoon, dedicated butler service and bespoke dining experiences tailored to individual preferences. The enclave is designed to place privacy and personalisation at the centre of the stay.
Coco Bodu Hithi is also recognised for its culinary focus, hosting visiting Michelin-starred chefs whose menus contribute to the resort’s dining programme. Romantic dining experiences take place in overwater and beachfront settings, where carefully prepared menus are complemented by the island’s natural surroundings. Beyond dining, couples are encouraged to unwind through wellness rituals, time spent along the shoreline or guided ocean experiences, with activities designed to support relaxation and shared discovery.
At Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, set within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Valentine’s celebrations take on a quieter and more nature-led character. Rooted in sustainability and Maldivian heritage, the resort invites couples to slow their pace and engage with experiences shaped by the island’s environment and traditions.
Romantic moments at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu are expressed through experiences such as private pergola dinners, vow renewal ceremonies at sunset and personalised surprises reflecting each couple’s journey together. From 7 to 14 February, the resort will host a dedicated Valentine’s itinerary designed to foster a reflective atmosphere focused on togetherness and appreciation. Guests are also invited to support marine conservation initiatives, including the ongoing work of the Olive Ridley Project, which is closely associated with the island.
Wellness plays a central role in the Valentine’s offering at both resorts. Coco Spa, set within natural surroundings, provides couples with shared spa journeys featuring treatments and therapies using natural ingredients. Additional experiences at Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu include sunrise walks, lagoon swims, guided nature activities and quiet moments designed to restore balance and encourage personal reflection.
Across both islands, Coco Collection presents Valentine’s Day as an opportunity for couples to reconnect through thoughtful experiences, private moments and settings that highlight the natural beauty of the Maldives.
