You & Me is the Maldives done differently — adults-only with Italian design DNA and zero buffets. The all-inclusive covers à la carte dining at every restaurant. More Mediterranean hideaway than corporate resort, with an underwater restaurant headlining the romance-first atmosphere.

Dining
6 Restaurants & 1 Bar
No buffets anywhere — every meal is à la carte, which is rare at this price point. The dine-around concept means your meal plan works at all five surface restaurants. H2O, the underwater restaurant, is a supplement but worth the splurge at least once.
The Sand
International
The main restaurant with an Italian accent — table service only, no buffet line. Live cooking stations, a wine and champagne cellar, and sand-floor seating under a thatched roof. Breakfast is continental with Italian touches; dinner rotates international menus nightly.
SettingBeachfront · Main restaurant
Our tipRequest the terrace table facing the lagoon at sunset
La Pasta
Italian
Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and classic Italian dishes served feet-from-the-sand. The communal beachside setting keeps things relaxed and social — one of the liveliest spots on the island.
SettingBeachside · Casual
Our tipThe fresh pasta changes daily — ask what's just been made
Rising Sun
Japanese
Teppanyaki theatrics and authentic Japanese — sushi, sashimi, and grilled dishes prepared tableside. The interactive chef experience makes this the most entertaining dinner on the island. Reservation essential.
SettingIndoor · Teppanyaki counters
Our tipBook for your first evening — it fills up fast
Green Carpet
Healthy
Light, healthy lunches by the main pool with an urban-chic vibe. Fresh salads, grilled seafood, and smoothie bowls — designed as a lighter midday option between the heavier à la carte dinners.

Our tipPerfect post-snorkeling lunch spot
H2O by Andrea Berton
Fine Dining
The headline experience — a fully submerged restaurant 6 metres beneath the lagoon, designed by Daniele Lago and supervised by Michelin-starred chef Andrea Berton. Seven-course menus with 360-degree views of the reef. Seats just 20 guests.

Our tipBook lunch for clearer water and better natural light
Cheers Bar

The social hub — cocktails, champagne (Veuve Clicquot partnership), and bar snacks by the main pool. Live bands, DJ sets, and themed party nights keep evenings lively. Hammock seating and loungers.

House Reef
Lux Atolls Reef Score · below average for Maldives resorts
Shore entry · Long swim to reef edge · Strong currents possible
Large lagoon · Best snorkeling near boat dock · Manta excursions nearby
The house reef is the one area where You & Me doesn't shine. A vast, shallow lagoon means the reef edge is a long swim from shore, and currents can be strong. That said, the surrounding Raa Atoll offers excellent dive sites and manta ray encounters nearby.

Our Take
Who This Resort is For
You & Me nails the couples-only formula with Italian flair and a genuine all-inclusive that delivers. The underwater restaurant is a bucket-list experience, the no-buffet dining concept is refreshingly different, and evenings are surprisingly lively for an adults-only resort. The trade-off is villa size — overwater rooms are compact by Maldives standards — and the house reef requires effort to reach. For couples who value dining and romance over villa square footage, this is excellent value.
Ideal for
Honeymoons and anniversaries — every detail is designed for couples, from the adults-only policy and romantic villa layouts to private sandbank picnics and the underwater dining experience
Couples wanting genuine all-inclusive value — the premium plan covers à la carte dining at all five surface restaurants with no buffets, premium spirits, and daily minibar replenishment
Underwater dining seekers — H2O by Andrea Berton is the only Michelin-starred underwater restaurant in the Maldives, seating just 20 guests six metres below the lagoon with seven-course menus
Social couples who want nightlife — live bands, DJ sets, White Parties, Glow Disco nights, and sandbank parties give this resort more evening energy than most adults-only properties
Consider elsewhere if
Serious snorkelers — the house reef requires a long swim across a shallow lagoon with strong currents, and coral health is moderate compared to top-rated reef resorts
Families — strictly adults only with no children permitted, no kids club, and no family villa options
Couples wanting ultra-spacious villas — overwater villas start at just 55 sqm, significantly smaller than the Maldives average of 161 sqm for overwater categories
Those seeking barefoot seclusion — the resort has more social energy than typical romantic hideaways, with nightly entertainment and themed party nights

Frequently Asked Questions
You & Me by Cocoon Maldives — FAQ
Is You & Me by Cocoon adults only?
Yes — strictly adults only. No children are permitted on the island. The resort is designed entirely for couples, honeymooners, and friends seeking a romantic or tranquil retreat.
How do you get to You & Me by Cocoon Maldives?
Two options: a 45-minute seaplane from Malé (~$420 pp RT, daylight only), or a 30-minute domestic flight to Ifuru Airport plus a 20-minute speedboat. Located in Raa Atoll, 182 km north of Malé.
Is the underwater restaurant included in the all-inclusive?
No — H2O is a supplement on all meal plans. The 4-course lunch starts at $190 and the 5-course dinner at $280 per person, excluding taxes. It seats only 20 guests, so book early. Most couples dine there once during their stay.
Does You & Me by Cocoon have a good house reef?
The house reef is accessible but requires a long swim across a shallow lagoon, and currents can be strong. The best snorkeling is near the boat dock. For exceptional marine life, the resort runs guided excursions to nearby turtle reefs and manta ray sites in Baa Atoll.
