A lagoon of one’s own – Glass visits Coco Prive Kuda Hithi, Maldives

LUXURY private island Coco Prive Kuda Hithi is 35 minutes from Malé but feels like a galaxy away. The province of Hollywood players and princes alike this is the ultimate retreat from prying eyes. The island is private from even the most tenacious paparazzi, protected by dense foliage and its very own reef. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas chose the island for their post-engagement escape and it’s not hard to see why.

Award-winning architect Guz Wilkinson designed the property comprising the uber luxurious split level main residence and five sleek guest houses connected by a 40-metre pool.

Every detail is carefully considered and every room equipped with the latest tech. Ceiling height glass doors bring the outside indoors and the beach is no more than a minute away from any of the rooms.

Our every whim is catered to at any hour by the dedicated team of private chef, beauty therapist, mixologist and yoga master. Bloody Mary in bed? No problem. Massage on the beach? Of course.We even took a private diving tour with the resident marine biologist who introduced me to a graceful nursing shark and a harder-to-discover-than-the-name-would-suggest Common Octopus.

Our small group designed our days according to mood. Eating whenever we were hungry, including late night snacks freshly prepared for our champagne-soaked appetites. Then bespoke sun-rise yoga to compensate for the night before. We dined on the beach and dived on demand. We really were spoiled with our every desire met with a smile.

Lavish as the residences are the best spot on the island for total escape is the simple wicker teardrop daybed suspended from a palm tree on the beach. I spend hours there watching gentle waves playing tag with tiny translucent crabs skittering back and forth across pristine sand. One day I stay in my little wicker home until a frenzy of stars take over the sky and I wish on every one that this trip would never end..
