Cocoon Maldives, in the Lhaviyani Atoll, marked Eid Al-Adha with a programme of Maldivian cultural performances and interactive activities for guests, blending local heritage with festive island entertainment across two days.

Highlights included the colourful Bodumas and Maali Parade drawn from traditional folklore, local dance performances by the resort's team, a traditional Coconut Show and the lively Bodumas Chase, complemented by live DJ sets, mocktails and island-inspired refreshments in a beachfront setting. The second day continued with games and activities bringing guests and staff together.

Ahmed Jihad, chief operating officer of The Cocoon Collection, said the celebration aimed to share the beauty of Maldivian traditions through meaningful, memorable experiences. Cocoon, billed as the Maldives' first design resort, framed the event as part of its wider approach to pairing contemporary island design with local culture.

The Resort

Cocoon Maldives

Lhaviyani Atoll

Cocoon Maldives is the first design hotel in the Maldives — blending the best of Italian design with the Maldives' stunning natural beauty. Located on the pristine island of Ookolhufinolhu in Lhaviyani Atoll, 120 km from Velana International Airport and accessible by a scenic 30-minute seaplane flight, this resort brings chic luxury with an affordable price tag. Exclusively designed by LAGO — the award-winning Italian design brand — the 150 villas feature floating beds, 200-year-old rustic wildwood tables and headboards, and glass partitions connecting guests with lush tropical vegetation. Five dining venues including themed nightly buffets at Octopus, overwater candlelit dining at Manta, authentic Japanese cuisine at Japanese Garden and sunset cocktails at Kurum-Bar. The Cube Spa, Oceanico Maldives Dive Centre, cultural club, daily entertainment and the Cocoon Circle loyalty programme complete this distinctive Italian-inspired island escape. New: 10 Lagoon Suites with private waterslides into the turquoise lagoon.
