You & Me by Cocoon is one of the more recent luxury hotels to emerge in the Maldives. It’s located in the north in the Raa atoll. It’s surrounded by reef and a lagoon of sharks and manta rays. This is an adults only hotel geared towards romantic trips. There’s a fully submerged underwater restaurant, giving you the Maldivian underwater dining experience. There’s also a Moet & Chandon branded restaurant, no less.
The island is partly man made and it’s fairly compact. You can walk everywhere or take a golf buggy. There are plenty of activities to choose from, including aqua aerobics, yoga, beach volleyball and an Elizabeth Arden spa to unwind in.

Despite the Maldives having problematic laws regarding LGBTQ+ rights, it remains one of Out Of Office’s most popular destinations. The Maldives is made up of a collection of private islands, each essentially run by the resort that occupies it. This unique geography allows for a more private and controlled environment, where resorts can create welcoming and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ travelers.
Out Of Office works with a carefully selected range of resorts in the Maldives, many of which have LGBTQ+ management and a strong commitment to providing a safe, respectful, and luxurious experience for all guests.
These resorts go above and beyond to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community feels welcomed and valued, offering exclusive amenities, private villas, and personalized services in stunning locations. While it’s important to remain discreet when traveling in the Maldives due to national laws, guests can enjoy a high level of comfort and privacy within these resort environments, making the Maldives an unforgettable and increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.
