Fly In Style To COMO Cocoa Island

COMO Cocoa Island is a tranquil private island resort located in the Maldives, with 33 overwater villas allowing you to slip from your balcony into the turquoise lagoon to explore the sealife-rich house reef. It promises what few luxury Maldivian resorts can truly provide: peacefulness, privacy and the opportunity to do very little — very little, that is, aside from stroll on silk-soft sand, snorkel in a world of colourful marine life, relax on a massage table or on a daybed, simply staring out at the hypnotic azure ocean.

Now, travelling to the Indian Ocean’s Maldives has never been easier and more memorable than onboard a private jet and staying at one of Empire Aviation’s Luxury Partner resorts — The Como Cocoa Island Resort.

The Gateway to the Paradise of the Blue Lagoon, the Como Cocoa Island, with its crystal blue waters and striking sandbars, is the perfect destination for a luxury getaway. On arrival in the Maldives, your first step is your 40-minute speedboat transfer from Malé International Airport for the spectacular scenic journey to the island. From there, you will be taken to your luxurious villa, offering a unique blend of local culture and modern amenities — allowing you to enjoy postcard-perfect views and the utmost privacy. Designed to offer both luxury and convenience, the premium Villa collection at the Cocoa Island resort boasts spacious terraces that evoke an open horizon, modern furnishings, breathtaking views over the lagoon, and a private pool and sundeck.

An Empire Aviation charter aircraft will take you and your guests to the Maldives in style. With its long range and large baggage capacity, Empire’s Embraer Legacy 650 is a highly requested aircraft for charters to the Maldives, providing comfort, convenience and competitive pricing. The Legacy 650 can accommodate up to 13 passengers with VIP food & beverage catering services and onboard entertainment systems.

A curated selection of the celebrated work of renowned photographer Guy Bourdin will show at THAT Concept Store in Dubai this month. The late Bourdin’s distinct photographic style was as much experimental as it was provocative, a method partly honed under the creative guidance of surrealist photographer Man Ray. It was also a method that made for vibrant, immediately captivating images and an outstanding career that saw Bourdin credited with revolutionising fashion photography in the late 20th century.
