28 May 2023 | All Blogs, Destination, Experience

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 is the perfect balance between luxurious relaxation and the adventures of a lifetime.

We list here five unmissable experiences that will add an edge of adventure to your perfect island holiday:

Unparalleled Sailing Experience at Baros Maldives

Aboard the Nooma

Nooma, our traditional Maldivian dhoni, offers adventure out on the water in a romantically, classic 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 the two of you. Nooma features a sundeck, a private saloon lounge and an air-conditioned double bedroom – all you could want for your private sailing adventure.

Vibrant Coral Reef at Baros Maldives

  1. Cruise with dolphins

The Maldives rank among the top five places in the world for dolphin watching. At Baros you can enjoy the spectacular sight of pods 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.

Evening Relaxation at Baros Maldives

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 is engaging with your surroundings at its best. Quiet, slow and extremely rewarding, fishing from a traditional dhoni is a truly unique experience.

Sandbank Picnic at Baros Maldives

 

Picnic on a deserted sandbank

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

Watch the vibrant 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.

 

Outdoor Dinning by the Sea at Baros Maldives

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 stroll through the modern park ‘Ras Rani Bageecha’, 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.

These excursions add that exhilarating edge to the ultimate luxury and relaxation that you will enjoy with us. At Baros, we provide perfectly personalised experiences that will resonate with your spirit. Our Guest Experiences Team will arrange the ideal island adventure for you.
