On June 11,  2024, the vibrant atmosphere of The Marina at CROSSROADS Maldives was further enlivened with the grand opening of a takeaway kiosk called "Cocco Crust", the latest venture by Cocco Club Maldives under Soul Partners Pvt Ltd. Building on the successful debut of Cocco Club Thoddoo Maldives, their first establishment, the Cocco Crust at The Marina introduces a different culinary experience centred around its signature dish "Pocket Crusts" filled with diverse flavours.

The opening ceremony of Cocco Crust was a significant event, attended by Mrs. Abida Ali, the mother of the Owners, Alessio Napoli and Yashfa Hassaan, complemented by live music performances from the renowned Maldivian Singer Shamoon, alongside the beats of DJ Iman.

Following the success of their flagship outlet, the hospitality-focused couple, Alessio and Yashfa shared their enthusiasm about expanding to CROSSROADS Maldives and hinting at their plans for a new opening in Thulushoo. When scouting a location, CROSSROADS Maldives stood out for them due to its prime location and unique multi-island integrated concept, offering top-notch amenities and unforgettable experiences for everyone, from dining and shopping to entertainment and cultural exchange opportunities.

Cocco Crust kiosk is strategically situated near The Marina’s Arrival and Departure Pavilion and just adjacent to the Maldives Discovery Centre, an immersive museum showcasing the rich history and culture of the Maldives. In addition to its strategic location, the provision of daily complimentary transfers offered by CROSSROADS Maldives, subject to a minimum spend of $20 per person (excluding children below 12 years old), guests are encouraged to explore Cocco Crust during their visit and indulge in its offerings first-hand.

"We are honoured to partner with CROSSROADS Maldives, the country’s premier multi-island destination renowned for its integrated offerings at The Marina and three world-class Resorts. We also extend our gratitude to our family for their full support, as well as to the CROSSROADS Management and its Retail Team for their invaluable assistance throughout the leasing process, which has significantly contributed to our journey," stated Alessio and Yashfa, The Owners. They further encouraged potential investors to explore the myriad opportunities available at CROSSROADS Maldives.

With its enticing menu and vibrant ambience, Cocco Crust is set to become a favourite spot at The Marina, promising a distinctive gastronomic experience.
