Best Activities in the Maldives

21 March 2023 | All Blogs, Destination

The Maldives is an ideal of romance and island adventure. The perfect balance of romantic luxury and the opportunity to adventurously explore a tropical paradise. At Baros you will find the perfect example of this idyllic Maldivian harmony.

We have spent 50 years perfecting the Baros experience for our guests. From our spa to our dive centre, we have something for everyone. To whet your palette, we have created a list of just 6 of the best things to do when visiting Baros and the Maldives.

  1. Start with wellness

Our Serenity Spa is a haven of relaxation, a sanctuary hidden in the trees. We have four private spa suites each with an outside relaxation area set in a private tropical garden, with its own rainfall shower and a bathtub where you can immerse yourself in blissful Baros moments.

  1. Dine on a deserted island

Indulge in an unforgettable culinary experience on a secluded sandbank, surrounded by the lapping of azure waves. Your discreet private chef and steward will be on hand to cater to your every need. Savour a sunrise breakfast, a sushi picnic or a fish barbecue as the amber sun dips below the horizon.

  1. Sail into a Maldivian sunrise

White sail billowing in the breeze, wooden prow pointed towards the horizon – Nooma, our Maldivian dhoni, gets you out on the water in the traditional way. Reef snorkelling adventures, sunset sailing or romantic dinner cruises for two, our Nooma is the perfect vessel for an authentic local experience, featuring a sundeck, a private saloon lounge and an air-conditioned double bedroom – everything you need for a private adventure out on the water.

  1. Learn to Scuba Dive

Our dive courses cater to beginners and more advanced divers and are done at a leisurely pace, allowing you to experience the thrill of diving without feeling pressured. Feel the weightlessness of underwater discovery as you glide around our worldclass coral house reef.

 

  1. Dive with manta rays and swim with dolphins

The Maldives is one of the few places in the world where you can dive with manta rays. A truly unforgettable experience, as these massive, gentle creatures glide effortlessly around you.

  1. Fishing Excursions

From big game fishing excursions to night fishing under the stars, fishing is ranked as one of the top experiences in the Maldives. Reel in Barracuda, Snappers, and even Marlin in December and try your hand at traditional Maldivian fishing using a hand line with raw fish as bait.
