As a solo traveler in search of a paradisiacal retreat, I found a true oasis of peace and warmth at the Virgin Cocoa Hideaway Resort. Located in the middle of Maratua Atoll, surrounded by crystal clear waters, this resort not only met my expectations but far exceeded them.
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by Yvonne and the entire staff with such warmth that I never felt alone. They made my time on the island an unforgettable experience, catering to my every need and always ready with a smile.
The underwater world during my dives was a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes - a dream come true for any diving enthusiast. But it's not just underwater that nature can be experienced in all its glory on the island itself: from majestic monitor lizards and agile lizards to imposing flying foxes and the absolute highlight, freshly hatched sea turtles.
The culinary delights were a daily feast for the palate. With a diverse selection of exquisite dishes, I was able to discover new flavors and rediscover my love of cooking. The daily fresh coconut water and juicy tropical fruits were the perfect refreshment in this tropical climate.
The yoga sessions provided a welcome and challenging change of pace and helped to harmonize body and mind - just the thing to find inner balance in such an idyllic setting.
Virgin Cocoa Hideaway is a resort that has been designed with great attention to detail and I can recommend a visit to anyone looking for their own little paradise on earth. An incomparable relaxation experience that will remain in your memory.
This review summarizes her experience, highlighting the excellent service, wildlife, cuisine quality and additional offerings such as yoga. Her personal impressions make the review particularly authentic and could make it easier for other travelers to choose this retreat.

We were absolutely delighted with Virgin Cocoa.
We have never eaten so exquisitely. Like in a 5 star restaurant. The staff are super friendly and read every wish from your eyes. We were able to relax really well.
The diving was also very nice. Sure...we were a bit out of season but it was worth it.
Can only recommend it even if the journey is a bit long.

Welcome to paradise is the slogan you are told, when you arrive at Virgin Cocoa Island.
After a 14-day stay, we can only confirm this! Virgin Cocoa is a piece of paradise, with the staff doing everything they can to keep it that way for you.

Lodging:
We stayed in a beach bungalow. This bungalow is equipped with every comfort. What we really appreciated: the bungalow is on the water (you can walk straight into the water), the room is very comfortable, the bathroom is lovely!
For a remote destination, it is not always easy to have all the comforts, but here it is all there! Luxury !

Food:
The kitchen staff really provides delicious food. You get beautiful dishes prepared and presented on your plate. The cuisine is varied and there is something for everyone (spicy, not spicy). Here and there we were served real gems.
The service +1 is also present here : if you want something special you get it. At times I could not choose, but Rica (waitress) and Halima (chef) quickly solved that: then we just give you combinations so you can taste more! Delicious!

Location:
This island is remote, 3h by speedboat. The ride is quite tough, but no pain no gain!
Once you arrive you really are in paradise. 14 days of pure tranquility, no noise outside some murmur of the sea, wind, birds ... wonderful !

Diving:
The diving here is wonderful. The house reef dives are beautiful here : untouched coral, diverse coral life ! With the dive center you can also do excursions to the other sites at extra cost (Kakaban, North atoll, ...). We have done all excursions and this was just a must ! Do it!
During the dives we were accompanied by Alfi - super guy !

Service:
The resort there is "run" by Yvonne. This pleasant & fun Swiss lady comes from the better hotel life and it shows. The resort pays attention to detail and that is what distinguishes this resort from the rest: this is class.

A BIG THANKS to Yvonne, Alfi, Linda (housekeeping), Rica, Halima & kitchen staff, Nandi & captain (boat staff) for giving us a super vacation!
