Over water villa all inclusive package review

The resort has been around since 2006 however seems to be well kept. We stayed in the water villa which had a private infinity pool and direct access to the ocean for a swim. The villas are well spaced to ensure privacy levels are optimal. We had the all inclusive package which gave credits and 3 dinners during our stay at 3 of their in-house restaurants.

Unvergesslicher Aufenthalt im Coco Bodu Hithi

Our stay at Coco Bodu Hithi was truly unforgettable. From the very first moment we arrived until our departure, everything was perfect. A very special thank you goes to our wonderful host Hajar — she was always kind, attentive, professional, and incredibly caring. Her warm personality made us feel welcomed from the very beginning, and she made sure that every detail of our stay was perfect.

Coco Bodu Hithi Maldives

Regular price₹ 183,700
/
Double occupancy, full board, return speedboat transfers, all taxes included except TCS · valid until 31 Oct 2026

At Coco Bodu Hithi Maldives the cheapest villa is also one of the biggest. The Island Villa with Pool runs to 188 square metres, against 109 for the Water Villa with Pool, so on this island the overwater choice buys you the view, not the space.

It is a natural island in North Malé Atoll, 35 minutes from Velana by shared speedboat, and the boat runs day and night. No seaplane, no daylight cut-off, and a late flight from India still reaches the island the same night. The reef runs alongside the water villas and the Aqua restaurant, so many guests snorkel straight off their own steps.

What you pay

Pick a villa and a length of stay and the price is the whole stay for two: full board, the return speedboat and every Maldivian tax. These prices cover stays to 31 October 2026.

The Island Villa with Pool is the value here. Three nights come to ₹157,800. The Water Villa with Pool is ₹183,700 for the same three nights, in a villa little more than half the size.

Four nights is the length to book for a honeymoon. In the Island Villa with Pool that is ₹203,000, and it is the shortest stay the honeymoon offer accepts.

All inclusive is an add-on by the night, not priced on this page. Ask and we will add it to your quote.

What's included, and what isn't

In the price: your villa for two, breakfast, lunch and dinner, the return shared speedboat, a one-time sunset cruise, the non-motorised water sports, one free experience per villa (a floating breakfast or lunch, or a three-course meal at Stars or Aqua), 20 per cent off spa treatments, and every Maldivian tax including green tax.

Not in the price: your international flights, travel insurance, all drinks, diving, motorised water sports, excursions, spa treatments beyond the discount, Indian TCS, and anything not named above.

Who this isn't for

Anyone expecting untouched coral everywhere. Turtles, blacktip sharks and rays are seen most days, but there is bleaching in places and the odd bit of debris. The best water is off the north side and round the east, so ask us which villa numbers sit closest to it.

Anyone who wants a new-build island. This one is mature and natural rather than freshly built.

Families of four eyeing the Water Villa with Pool. It takes two adults and one child. Most other villas take two adults and two children, or three adults.

Before you book

Honeymooners have to choose. The honeymoon offer needs four nights and cannot be combined with the free experience, sunset cruise and spa discount above. We will price both routes and show you which is worth more on your dates.

The resort wants the wedding certificate when you book, or the invitation if the wedding is within three months, and travel within twelve months of the date.

Cancellation is free up to 22 days before arrival. Half the stay is charged from 21 to 8 days, and the full stay inside 7 days or for a no-show. Payment is due in full 21 days before arrival.

Send your flight details a week ahead so the boat is set. Reserve Aqua for your free meal on arrival, not on the day.

Send us your dates, your flight times and what you are celebrating, and we will price the Island and Water villas side by side with the boat inside the number. Message our Maldives specialists on WhatsApp or send us an enquiry. We reply within 24 hours.

House reef 5/5 Exceptional

Live coral within swimming distance of the beach, reliably good fish life, safe entry.

A natural island rather than a built one, and the reef runs right alongside the water villas and the Aqua restaurant, so you snorkel from your own steps rather than from a boat. Turtles, blacktips and rays most days, with the best water off the north side of the club villas and round the eastern side. There is bleaching in places and the occasional bit of debris. Ask us which villa numbers sit closest to the reef, it makes a real difference here and we will check it against your dates.

A day here, honestly

This is a natural island rather than a built one, and the reef runs right alongside the water villas, so you snorkel from your own steps rather than from a boat. That is rarer than the brochures suggest. It also means your villa number decides your reef, and some parts of the reef are in better condition than others.

  • Getting here Speedboat, 35 min · latest Velana arrival any hour
  • Highest plan sold Full board
  • House reef 5 of 5

Day 1, arriving

A shared speedboat, about thirty-five minutes, running day and night. No daylight cut-off, so a late landing at Velana still gets you to the island that night. Boats run to a schedule rather than to you, so allow a wait at Velana.

Do these three things when you land.

  • Ask which villa numbers sit closest to the reef before you travel, not after. It makes a real difference here and we will check it against your dates.
  • Walk the north side of the club villas and the eastern side on the first afternoon. That is where the water is best.
  • Set expectations on the coral. There is bleaching in places and the occasional bit of debris.

Days 2 to 3, your full days

Mornings

The reef is the plan here.

The reef runs alongside the water villas and the overwater restaurant, so for a good number of guests this is a step off your own deck rather than a boat trip. Turtles, blacktips and rays on most days. The best water is off the north side of the club villas and round the eastern side. It is not uniformly pristine: there is bleaching in places and you will see the odd piece of debris.

Anyone in a water villa on the right side
Down your own steps and in. This is the thing people imagine the Maldives is and rarely get, and it is why the villa number matters so much here.
Anyone on the beach
Walk round to the north side of the club villas or the eastern side. It is a short walk and it is where the reef is at its best.
Divers
A natural reef system rather than a constructed one, which is the difference worth paying attention to when you compare this island with the newer builds nearby.

Afternoons

The reef carries the afternoon, and on this island you can get into it without booking anything, which is the practical advantage over resorts where the good coral is a boat ride. The activity schedule and excursion prices are set by the resort and move through the season, so tell us which trips you want and we will price them against your dates.

Evenings

Coco Bodu Hithi sells full board, so breakfast, lunch and dinner are covered and the drinks are not. That is the line to watch. On an island where you will not be leaving for dinner, the bar bill is the whole variable cost of the holiday, and it is the thing our readers most consistently underestimate when they compare a full board rate against an all-inclusive one somewhere else.

Day 4, leaving

Nothing to plan around. The boat runs at any hour, so a dawn flight home does not cost you a night the way it would on a seaplane island.

What you will still pay

Drinks, the spa, diving and excursions. With full board covering the meals, the bar is where this island's folio is decided. Ask us to compare it against an all-inclusive option on your dates before you assume the full board rate is the cheaper one.

Who this island's day does not suit

Anyone expecting untouched coral everywhere. There is bleaching in places and some debris, and the reef is very good rather than perfect. Also anyone unwilling to think about the villa category, because here it genuinely changes the holiday.
