9 April 2023 | All Blogs, Destination, Dining, Events, Experience

White linen billows in the sea breeze as the water glitters off the surface of your private villa pool. It may be tempting to spend every morning in this private oasis of beauty and calm, but adventure beckons too.

7 Baros Maldives excursions not to be missed

Baros is the perfect balance between luxurious relaxation and the adventures of a lifetime. We list 7 experiences that Baros has to offer that will make your stay unforgettable.

  1. Cruise with dolphins

Watch a host of dolphins playing in their natural world 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.

  1. Set sail on Nooma

Sail billowing in the breeze, water lapping at the wooden prow – Nooma, our Maldivian dhoni, gets you out on the water in a romantically, traditional way. Nooma is the perfect vessel for an authentic local experience whether that be reef snorkelling adventures, sunset sailing or a romantic dinner cruise for two. Nooma features a sundeck, a private saloon lounge and an air-conditioned double bedroom – all you could want for your sailing adventure. 

  1. Romantic cruise on a luxury yacht

Charter your own luxury yacht for day adventures on the high seas! Perfect for majestic cruises in the Atoll. Our Yacht has a private saloon, a cabin for two and a friendly and helpful crew ­– just right for a voyage of discovery.

  1. Picnic on a deserted sandbank

Just the two of you, on a secluded sandbank with water lapping quietly around and a discreet chef and steward on hand to cater to your every need. Does it get any better?

Watch the Maldivian sun rise to greet the day over a breakfast of salmon and prawns, savour a sushi picnic lunch, or enjoy a dinner barbecue ablaze with the orange and reds of a Baros sunset.

  1. Try your hand at traditional Maldivian fishing

Set sail on our authentic Maldivian dhoni and try fishing the traditional way – using a hand line with raw fish as bait. This is engaging with your surroundings at its best. Quiet, slow and extremely rewarding, fishing from a traditional dhoni is a truly unique experience.

 

  1. Visit the capital city Malé

Malé, the capital city of the Maldives, is the political, economic, and cultural centre of the country and is known for its vibrant atmosphere, bustling streets, historic sites, and diverse array of restaurants and shops.

Visit the Hukuru Miskiy Mosque, known for its intricate carvings and beautiful architecture, or explore Sultan Park, a popular gathering place for locals and visitors. And don’t forget the local markets with many local artisans selling their wares – the perfect place to pick up unique gifts for home.

  1. Island hopping

Spend a leisurely day aboard one of our luxury boats while visiting local islands surrounding Baros.

A trip to Baros holds the promise of adventure in many guises. Each the memory of a lifetime! At Baros we provide perfectly personalised experiences that will resonate with your soul. Our Guest Experiences Team will help to arrange the ideal island adventure for you.
