Most people come to the Maldives to relax, walk in the soft white sand, and drift in the aqua-blue perfection of the sea. Baros Maldives offers this and more. This iconic private island resort strikes the perfect balance between luxurious relaxation and the adventures of a lifetime. Here are five unmissable experiences that will add an edge of adventure to your perfect island holiday:
1. Aboard the Nooma
Nooma, a traditional Maldivian dhoni, offers a classic and romantic adventure out on the water. This vessel is ideal for an authentic local experience, whether that involves reef snorkeling adventures, sunset sailing, or a romantic dinner cruise for two. Nooma features a sundeck, a private saloon lounge, and an air-conditioned double bedroom—everything you could want for your private sailing adventure.
2. Cruise with Dolphins
The Maldives rank among the top five places in the world for dolphin watching, and at Baros, you can enjoy the spectacular sight of pods of dolphins playing in their natural habitat from the comfort of our luxury yacht. Dolphins tend to have a regular daily routine, feeding offshore at night, coming into the atolls in the early morning, and leaving again for the open ocean in the late afternoon. This dependable schedule helps us to ensure you have the sighting of a lifetime.
3. Fishing the Maldivian Way
Set sail on our authentic Maldivian dhoni and try fishing the traditional way—using a hand line with raw fish as bait. This method allows you to engage with your surroundings in a quiet, slow, and extremely rewarding manner. Fishing from a traditional dhoni is a truly unique experience that connects you with the local culture and the serene marine environment.
4. Picnic on a Deserted Sandbank
Imagine just the two of you on a secluded sandbank with water lapping the shores quietly, a discreet chef, and a steward on hand to cater to your every need. Whether it’s watching the vibrant sunrise to greet the day over a breakfast of salmon and prawns, savoring a sushi picnic lunch, or enjoying a dinner barbecue set against the orange and reds of a Baros sunset, a sandbank picnic is an unparalleled romantic experience.
5. Visit the Capital City Malé
Malé, the capital city of the Maldives, is the political, economic, and cultural center of the country. Known for its vibrant atmosphere, bustling streets, historic sites, and diverse array of restaurants and shops, Malé offers a lively contrast to the tranquil Baros. Visit the Hukuru Miskiy Mosque, renowned for its intricate carvings and beautiful architecture, or stroll through the modern park Ras Rani Bageecha, a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Don’t forget the local markets where many artisans sell their unique wares—the perfect place to pick up gifts for home.
These excursions add an exhilarating edge to the ultimate luxury and relaxation you will enjoy at Baros. We provide perfectly personalized experiences that resonate with your spirit. We will arrange the ideal island adventure for you, ensuring that every moment of your stay is unforgettable.
