Some places leave a lasting impression long after you've returned home.
For us, Coco Bodu Hithi was one of them.
Set amongst impossibly turquoise waters in the heart of the Maldives, this luxury island retreat embodies everything we love about slow travel—quiet mornings, barefoot afternoons, endless ocean swims and the simple beauty of living with less.
At Maréa, our collections are designed for exactly these moments. Swimwear that feels timeless rather than trend-driven. Pieces you'll wear from sunrise swims to sunset cocktails, season after season.
This was the perfect destination to bring them to life.
A Different Kind of Luxury
Luxury isn't always found in excess.
Sometimes it's waking to nothing but the sound of the ocean beneath your villa. Watching reef sharks glide through crystal-clear water from your deck. Spending hours disconnected from your phone and completely present.
Coco Bodu Hithi captures this feeling effortlessly.
The island feels intimate rather than busy, offering beautifully designed villas that blend into the surrounding landscape while allowing nature to remain the hero.
Whether you're travelling for a honeymoon, celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a slower pace, every moment encourages you to pause.
It's luxury in its most relaxed form.

Designed for Days Spent by the Ocean
When creating Maréa, we imagined destinations exactly like this.
Our swimwear is made to travel effortlessly, taking up little room in your suitcase while working across every moment of your holiday.
Morning swims.
Long lunches overlooking the lagoon.
Afternoons spent exploring the reef.
Golden hour on the jetty.
Because every piece is thoughtfully designed with versatility in mind, styling your holiday wardrobe becomes refreshingly simple.
Pair a timeless bikini with an oversized linen shirt for breakfast, slip on relaxed trousers for lunch, or layer your favourite jewellery for dinner overlooking the ocean.
One beautiful swimsuit can become the foundation of an entire holiday wardrobe.

Thoughtfully Made for Places Worth Protecting
Travelling to destinations like the Maldives is a reminder of how precious our oceans truly are.
It's impossible not to feel connected to the natural world when you're surrounded by vibrant coral reefs, tropical marine life and some of the clearest water on earth.
At Maréa, sustainability isn't an afterthought—it's woven into every collection.
Our swimwear is crafted using premium regenerated fabrics, allowing us to create luxurious pieces with a lighter environmental footprint while never compromising on quality, comfort or longevity.
We believe beautiful swimwear should last for years, not just one holiday.
Creating timeless designs means buying less, wearing more and choosing pieces you'll continue reaching for long after your trip has ended.
What to Pack for a Luxury Maldives Escape
Packing for the Maldives is surprisingly simple.
The days are slow, the dress code is relaxed and the focus is on effortless dressing.
Our essentials include:
-
A timeless black bikini you'll wear every day.
-
A lightweight linen shirt for easy layering.
-
Relaxed linen pants or a flowing skirt.
-
A wide-brim hat.
-
Comfortable leather sandals.
-
Minimal jewellery.
-
A spacious woven beach tote.
-
SPF and a good book.
The beauty of travelling light is having fewer decisions to make, leaving more time to simply enjoy where you are.
More Than Just a Holiday
Some destinations inspire new collections.
Others remind us why we started.
Coco Bodu Hithi reinforced everything Maréa stands for—slower living, conscious choices, timeless design and a deep appreciation for the ocean that inspires every piece we create.
The memories made there weren't about rushing to see everything.
They were found in quiet swims before breakfast, sunsets that seemed to last forever and afternoons spent doing absolutely nothing.
And perhaps that's the greatest luxury of all.
Planning Your Own Maldives Escape?
If the Maldives has been sitting on your travel wish list, Coco Bodu Hithi is a destination we'd return to in a heartbeat.
Bring swimwear you'll genuinely love wearing.
Pack light.
Slow down.
Spend more time in the ocean.
The rest will take care of itself.
Because the best holidays aren't measured by how much you do—but by how deeply you experience them.
Whether you're planning your honeymoon, celebrating a milestone or simply escaping everyday life, investing in timeless, sustainable swimwear means you'll have pieces that travel beautifully and become part of every adventure for years to come.
Here's to endless summer's, wherever your next destination takes you.
