Coco Bodu Hithi has received the Best Commitment to Sustainability award at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2027, marking three consecutive years of recognition for its environmental stewardship. The honour reflects a deliberate and sustained approach to responsible hospitality within one of the world’s most fragile ecosystems.
Nestled across a private atoll in the Maldives, the resort has woven conservation into every layer of its operations: from the design of its overwater villas with thatched roofs that sit lightly on the lagoon, to the dense vegetation that clothes the island and protects its shoreline. The award acknowledges not merely the physical infrastructure but the philosophical commitment to preserving the marine environment that surrounds and sustains the property.
The recognition by Condé Nast Johansels, which evaluates luxury establishments across Europe and beyond, speaks to the calibre of execution required to balance sophisticated hospitality with genuine environmental responsibility. For a resort in the Maldives, where the reefs and waters form the very essence of the experience, this sustainability focus is not peripheral to the offering but central to it.
The achievement reflects the dedication of the team who operate the property and the broader vision of the Coco Collection, which manages several island resorts across the Indian Ocean with a shared ethos of thoughtful custodianship. Each successive award represents a deepening of these practices rather than a static achievement, suggesting that the commitment continues to evolve and strengthen.
