Coco Palm’s two welcoming restaurants offer international, Asian and Maldivian delights. Cowrie serves a range of flavours from live cooking stations under a large thatched roof and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For a more intimate atmosphere, Cornus is the resort’s speciality feet-in-the-sand venue, tucked away in the gardens and surrounded by verdant palms, serving Asian delicacies with a Maldivian influence, including fresh seafood. Two bars include Conch, a chic spot for coffee or a cocktail, and the Beach Bar on the west of the island, enjoying the best sunset views.
