DRMumbai: Cocoon Maldives, the luxury 5-star resort in the island nation of Maldives, blends the best of Italian design with the Maldives’ stunning natural beauty, all set against the backdrop of the azure Indian Ocean. This family-friendly, stylish resort, based on the principle of ‘affordable luxury’, is the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday.
Embarking with the enthralling concept of fitness tours, FitZup in association with Cocoon Maldives, had organised an expedition to the unrivalled luxury, Maldives first design hotel with well-renowned TV celebrities and fitness enthusiasts Kishwer Merchant, Abigail Pande, Sreejita De and Pryanca Talukdar along with pro-athlete Sahil Rasheed.
The visit to Cocoon Maldives, spread over five days, where the ideology was to change the perception of fitness enthusiasts about the term ‘Cheat Meal’. The expedition started everyday with rigorous morning workout sessions, followed through with some leisurely activities to explore the nearby Lhaviyani Atoll, unwind and relax.
The Lhaviyani Atoll is a great place to enjoy world-class scuba diving, with over 50 dive sites, including famous local shipwrecks, remarkable aquatic life including bluestripe snappers, hawksbill turtles, butterfly fish, moray eel, scorpionfish, White-tip reef sharks, some mantas, brightly coloured triggerfish and the list is endless.
Each day of the expedition would include various marine activities such as sunset fishing, Kayaking or surfboarding, Snorkelling, Scuba Diving and Jet Ski adventures to nearby sand banks and coral reefs.
All the water adventure during the day built an appetite for sumptuous Cheat Meals! The TV Celebrities would request for their favourite cheat meal to the executive Italian Brand Chef, Giovanni de Ambrosis; which was prepared with an interesting makeover; turning each ‘cheat’ desire into a healthy meal to binge upon.
The resort offers guests both privacy and a place to socialise if guests wish, in the island’s clubs, restaurants and bars. The resort, features three restaurants and two bars offering a variety of cuisines from around the world and romantic dining experiences. Cocoon Maldives also boasts a Cultural Kids Club’, tailor-made guest excursions and entertainment, and a spa. The Cube Spa at Cocoon Maldives, rejuvenated the celebrities’ at the end of a long day, with a variety of relaxing treatments performed by qualified masseurs from Bali.
Alessandro Azzola, Managing Director, Cocoon Maldives, commented, “This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a project to promote Health & Wellness Tourism with some of India’s fabulous TV stars at Cocoon Maldives. We have created a resort that is unique and new in many ways, which I am very happy and proud of.”
“When it comes to guests, our concept is ‘home hospitality’. Our staff are extremely guest-oriented. They know and understand the requirements and wishes of our guests, so we are able to cater to them faultlessly. It is not the buildings, rooms or furniture that makes a hotel, it is the smile on the faces of the staff, and how well they treat their guests. And I am proud of my team here. It is not I who run this resort, but the entire team of Cocoon Maldives.”
