Unwind on the beach, go swimming in the sparkling turquoise waters, be pampered in the spa or take a relaxing cruise on a traditional sailing dhoni.

The waters around Baros are perfect for scuba diving, with a choice of more than 30 world-class dive spots nearby, including Manta Point, where you can dive down to a 18m-deep ledge and get within touching distance of up to a dozen giant manta rays, some up to 3m across. The best season to see the rays is June to November.

Or snorkel the island’s easy-to-reach offshore reefs – the resort offers day and night snorkelling safaris guided by the resident marine biologist.
