Savour the peace. Relax and forget everything. Experience being alone without feeling lonely. Take a deep breath and recharge your batteries. I go barefoot through the sand or retreat into a hiding place and listen to the soft rustle of the tropical leaves. Be connected to nature; feel its energy whilst not having to forgo any luxuries. Be spoilt whilst only having trusted people around me. For me, all this is private happiness. And all this is what the private island of Coco Privé Kuda Hithi really can offer. True privacy is not just an empty promise. I feel protected and safe here. Here, I can just be!

Glistening turquoise waters, sand as white and fine as pixie dust, covered by the lush green of a leaf canopy under an endless sky of azure blue – the colours of the Maldives greet me upon my arrival on the islands in the Indian Ocean. The journey takes just 40 minutes with the Coco Privé private yacht from Malé International Airport to the island of Kuda Hithi in the North Malé Atoll that is available for exclusive bookings only. The general manager, Andrew Stuart McLaren, is there waiting for me and shows me all the unique aspects and details of the 1.4 hectare private island. Can exclusivity get any better? Coco Privé answers this question with its own special service. Here, each person can customise their stay according to their own personal desires and particular needs so they can truly relax and recuperate. There are no other guests to disturb you. You are only surrounded by loving people from your own family and group of friends, who have accompanied you on the trip. This creates an informal and relaxed atmosphere. A unique dream of sun, sea and sand, Maldivian architecture and perfect service is dedicated to the guests, winning over even the most discerning of them. On Kuda Hithi, everyone can find a private holiday happiness that is completely focused on their expectations. The secluded setting is not visible from the outside, so you can be totally by yourself on this island.

The Palm Residence – a 465 square metre main villa – nestles gently into the Maldivian island landscape. On the first floor, you can find your private retreat with a sitting room and bedrooms; downstairs, there is a bar with your wine cellar behind glass, a dining room and a library. The on-site pool can also be accessed from the adjoining 'Turtle Villa', 'Starfish Villa' and 'Heron Villa'. The separate, no less exquisitely decorated 'Manta Villa' and 'Gecko Villa' face the opposite side of the island and offer even more privacy. An excellent cook treats all the residents to fine food, around the clock, which he will freshly prepare for you according to your own personal requirements. The spa and fitness areas round off the range of services. All accommodation blends into the beauty of the island and is hidden under palm trees. The award-winning architect Guz Wilkinson has designed houses of understated elegance that create a borderless, flowing crossover from the inside out. This extraordinarily harmonious design made from fine natural materials underscores the ecological philosophy on Coco Privé, establishing places of inspiring spirituality. Around the clock, thirty dedicated employees look after the welfare of 'islanders' seeking relaxation and recuperation, and care for them in an attentive, unobtrusive and always highly professional way.
