Freshly caught seafood and prime cuts are grilled over open flames as the sun dips beneath the horizon, creating an atmosphere of warmth and celebration. Each Friday during the season, this sensory experience invites diners to savour exceptional dishes crafted with regional ingredients and a contemporary Maldivian spirit.

At COMO Cocoa Island, afternoons will be just as inviting, with a bespoke high tea experience that includes delicately spiced Karak Chai, handcrafted pastries, and the option of shisha — all served in a relaxed island setting that encourages unhurried conversation and connection.
