Things to Do in Dharavandhoo and Baa Atoll

Dharavandhoo is a small, friendly local island in the heart of Baa Atoll - a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve - and there is far more to do here than you might think. Whether you came for the marine life, the beaches or simply to slow down, here is how we help our guests fill their days.

Snorkelling is the headline attraction. The reefs right off the island are alive with colour, and our bikini beach is perfect for an easy swim straight from the sand. In manta season, the highlight is a trip to nearby Hanifaru Bay to snorkel with manta rays and, if you are lucky, whale sharks.

For something more adventurous, join one of our excursions. We run island-hopping trips to nearby local islands, sandbank trips where you can have a stretch of white sand to yourself, and snorkelling safaris to find turtles and reef sharks. Photographers love the light here, and we know the best spots.

Fishing is part of island life, and our sunset and night fishing trips are a guest favourite. Head out as the sky turns gold, catch reef fish the traditional way, and we will grill your catch for a beach barbecue afterwards. It is a simple, unforgettable Maldivian evening.

Back on the island, take your time. Rent a bicycle, wander the sandy streets, watch the sunset from the rooftop, and taste fresh local food. Because everything is walkable and we live here, we can shape each day around the weather and what you most want to see.
