Coco Privé Kuda Hithi
A 1.4-hectare island in North Malé Atoll that you book as a whole: one split-level residence, five guest villas, a private chef and a personal host, for up to 12 people. It is one of the few true buyout islands within a short boat ride of Malé.

01How it works
Coco Privé is not a resort with rooms. You take the whole of Kuda Hithi, a small island in North Malé Atoll, and the island team works only for your group. There is no front desk to queue at and no other guests on the beach.
Before you arrive, your host asks what everyone likes to eat, drink and do, and the chef plans menus around it. Meals happen when and where you want: the dining room, the pool deck or the sand. It feels like a private villa, but with a resort team behind it.
Coco Privé is booked for exclusive use only. We check dates with the island and send one written quote for the whole stay, including the yacht transfer.

03Palm Residence
The Palm Residence is the heart of the island: a split-level house of about 465 sq m with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. The ground floor holds the dining room, living areas, a cocktail bar, a wine cellar and a library, all opening onto the pool deck.
Upstairs, the whole 271 sq m first floor is the master bedroom, with indoor and outdoor showers and a private Jacuzzi. Architect Guz Wilkinson used timber, glass and open walls so the sea is in view from almost every room.

05Team and inclusions
Inclusions can change. We confirm the current list, and anything extra such as fishing or sandbank picnics, with your quote.
06Reef and sea
Kuda Hithi has its own reef and sits in one of the easiest parts of North Malé Atoll for snorkelling and diving. Turtles are common in the area, and the dive sites of the atoll are a short boat ride away.
Kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel gear are on hand, and the yacht that brings you from the airport can usually take the group on cruises, fishing trips or a sandbank lunch during the stay.

08Getting there
09FAQs
A private island in North Malé Atoll that is only ever booked by one group. You get the whole of Kuda Hithi, a 1.4-hectare island, with a split-level main residence, five guest villas, a private chef and a personal host. It is run by Coco Collection, which also runs Coco Bodu Hithi next door.
Up to 12 guests, according to the launch details. The Palm Residence has the master bedroom, and the five villas around it take the rest of the party, with Turtle Villa doubling as a spa room or an extra bedroom.
No. The island is sold as a whole, for exclusive use only, so you never share it with other guests. That is the point: it works like a private villa with a full resort team.
By private yacht from Velana International Airport. The island is about 30 km away, and the crossing takes roughly 35 to 40 minutes. Because it is a boat, you can arrive at any time of day.
At launch, a stay included all meals cooked by the private chef, premium drinks, a daily spa treatment, non-motorised water sports and diving with a dive master for certified divers. Inclusions can change, so we confirm the current list with your quote.
Award-winning architect Guz Wilkinson, working with Coco Privé. Timber, glass and open walls keep the ocean in view from almost every room, and the main pool links the residence with three of the villas.
Yes, for families and multi-generation groups who want privacy. Children are welcome, the infinity pool is shared like a home pool, and Turtle Villa can be set up as a play room. There is no kids club, so bring or ask for a nanny.
It is one of the smallest buyout islands near Malé, with room for about 12 people. Naladhu takes larger groups across 20 houses, and Velaa and Four Seasons Voavah sit further north. See our private island buyout guide.
