The Cocoon Collection Maldives, led by Mrs. Simmi Pai and Mr. Satyesh Pai, recently
collaborated with Mr. Amit Sivaraman, the Head of Sales at DMC Maldives, to host an
exclusive networking event for partners in Kochi, Kerala. The event aimed to promote
resorts under the Cocoon Collection umbrella, including JOY, Cocoon Maldives, and
YOU & ME. Several partners from Kochi and nearby cities, such as Calicut, Trivandrum,
and Malappuram, attended this prestigious event.
What stood out to the agents were the offerings tailored specifically for the Indian
market, including diverse dining options, premium liquor, as well as Indian, vegetarian,
and Jain food selections. The Cocoon Collection demonstrated exceptional flexibility in
addressing the needs of Indian agents and consumers, which was greatly appreciated.
Agents were particularly impressed with the personalized approach extended by both the
Cocoon Collection and DMC Maldives.
The agents were particularly struck by the variety and unique offerings across the three
resorts within the Cocoon Collection. For example, YOU & ME is an adults-only resort,
offering a serene and exclusive atmosphere, while Cocoon and JOY cater to both
couples and families, providing a broader range of experiences to suit various guest
preferences.
The resorts’ exceptional USPs also captured the attention of the agents. YOU & ME
Maldives boasts the H2O Underwater Dining, a Michelin-star experience, offering guests
a truly unique dining experience. Cocoon and YOU & ME feature the Slide Villas, adding
an element of excitement and novelty. JOY and Cocoon offer family-friendly activities,
making them ideal for guests traveling with children. Additionally, JOY stands out with its
paddle tennis facilities, while all the resorts offer various evening entertainment events to
keep guests engaged.
What resonated most with the agents was the balance of offerings at each resort, catering to diverse guest preferences. Whether guests are seeking active experiences, entertainment, or
peaceful, tranquil beach escapes, there is truly something for everyone.
One of the event’s highlights was the product update on the Cocoon Collection, along with
the opportunity for one-on-one interactions with the Cocoon Collection team. The partners
particularly connected with the brand because the owners, originally travel agents turned
hoteliers, possess a deep understanding of the travel agent business model.
The agents in Kerala expressed that the level of attention to detail from DMC Maldives and
the Cocoon Collection was truly remarkable. During the event, a special offer was unveiled
for bookings in November and December, available at exclusive rates through DMC Maldives.
This promotion was well received by the agents, further emphasizing the commitment of both
brands to providing value and tailored offerings to the Indian market.
