Coco Mooloolaba Apartments
A pocketful of sunshine
A sleek apartment hotel with a central location, modern decor and plenty of room to unwind.
Perfectly pitched right in the beating heart of sunny Mooloolaba, this contemporary apartment block has a lot going for it. The vibe here is casual, giving it a super relaxed, homely feel, and the fact that it’s just one block back from the waterfront means you get some truly spectacular sea views. Start your morning right with a tasty al fresco breakfast on the balcony, and draw the day to a picture-perfect close with a slow saunter along the beachfront. From the top-notch self-catering facilities to the idyllic setting, this place is an absolute gem.

Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Our expert's story
I've been fortunate enough to visit the Maldives several times throughout my career, but one particular evening at Niva Kuramathi remains my favourite memory. After a day spent exploring the island and learning more about the experiences available to guests, I found myself walking along the shoreline just before sunset. The resort had begun to quieten as people gathered at the water's edge, waiting for the day's final display.
What stands out to me wasn't just the scenery, but the atmosphere. There was a sense of calm that seemed to settle across the island as the sky changed colour and the lagoon reflected the fading light. For a few moments, everyone appeared to pause and simply appreciate where they were.
As travel experts, we're always looking for the moments that truly define a destination. For me, that evening captured everything that makes the Maldives so special: natural beauty, tranquillity and the opportunity to disconnect from everyday life. Years later, it's still the first memory that comes to mind whenever someone asks me why I love this part of the world.

Customer quote
We booked a 12-night honeymoon in the South Malé Atoll — overwater villa, transfers, excursions, the lot. Everything was arranged in advance so there were no surprises on arrival, which made a real difference after a long-haul flight. The villa itself was exactly as described and the resort staff were excellent throughout.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
