Embarking with the enthralling concept of ?tness tours, FitZup in association with Cocoon Maldives, had organized an expedition to the unrivalled luxury, Maldives first design hotel with well-renowned TV celebrities and ?tness enthusiasts Kishwer Merchant, Abigail Pande, Sreejita De and Pryanca Talukdar along with pro-athlete Sahil Rasheed.
The visit to Cocoon Maldives spread over 5 days where the ideology was to change the perception of ?tness enthusiasts about the term ‘Cheat Meal’. The expedition started everyday with rigorous morning workout sessions, followed through with some leisurely activities to explore the nearby Lhaviyani Atoll, unwind and relax. The Lhaviyani Atoll is a great place to enjoy world-class scuba diving, with over 50 dive sites, including famous local shipwrecks, remarkable aquatic life including bluestripe snappers, hawksbill turtles, butterfly fish, moray eel, scorpion fish, White-tip reef sharks, some mantas, brightly coloured triggerfish and the list is endless. Each day of the expedition would include various marine activities such as sunset fishing, Kayaking or surfboarding, Snorkelling, Scuba Diving and Jet Ski adventures to nearby sand banks and coral reefs.
All the water adventure during the day built an appetite for sumptuous Cheat Meals! The TV Celebrities would request for their favourite cheat meal to the executive Italian Brand Chef, Giovanni de Ambrosis; which was prepared with an interesting make-over; turning each ‘cheat’ desire into a healthy meal to binge upon.

We have created a resort that is unique and new in many ways, which I am very happy and proud of. When it comes to guests, our concept is ‘home hospitality’. Our sta? are extremely guest-oriented. They know and understand the requirements and wishes of our guests, so we are able to cater to them faultlessly. It is not the buildings, rooms or furniture that makes a hotel. What makes a hotel is the smile of the sta?, and how well they treat their guests. And I am most proud of my team here. It is not I who run this resort, but the very capable team of Cocoon Maldives.”
