In a few words

Imagine yourself in the Maldives: dreamy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and pristine marine life . We'll take you to the Baa Atoll, to the local island of Dharavandhoo , far from the beaten track , where authenticity meets postcard-perfect scenery. Here, there are no crowds or resorts: you'll sleep in a guesthouse, eat local food, and live at the island's pace. You'll experience immersion with the locals, discovering Maldivian culture and cuisine.

The journey begins with a domestic flight over the atolls , as Dharavandhoo is several hundred kilometers from Malé. A spectacular appetizer before landing in this little corner of paradise. On the agenda: magnificent beaches and days spent exploring marine life. How about snorkeling with turtles, sharks (harmless, of course), and thousands of tropical fish , or diving among multicolored corals ?

But that's not all! We'll venture to a deserted island and a secluded sandbar for a lunch in complete privacy . For total immersion, we'll explore another less-visited local island, Maalhos, before treating ourselves (if we so desire) to a day at a resort to experience, in contrast, Maldivian luxury. Depending on the season (between June and November), we'll have a unique experience: swimming with manta rays and whale sharks in the famous Hanifaru Bay , a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

    • Breakfast not included

    We're flying to the Baa atoll

    Travel to and from France is not included in the price. You can therefore choose the schedule, mode of transport, airline, and departure airport that best suit you. This gives you maximum flexibility!

    Please note, however, that you must arrive at Malé airport before 4:00 PM in order to reach Baa Atoll via the domestic flight included in your trip.

    Welcome to the island!

    After checking in at the hotel, you'll attend a welcome meeting, which will also serve as a meeting point to get your stay off to a great start. You'll receive a briefing on how things work on the island so you know everything you need to know to make the most of your time there. Afterwards, you'll share a friendly dinner at the restaurant or in your guesthouse – the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and prepare for this incredible adventure. Are you ready?

    Day 1

Note

  1. Note: The excursion to Hanifaru Bay to swim with manta rays and whale sharks will only take place from May to November.
  2. Snorkeling equipment is available on site.



Accommodation

🏨 B&B - Days 1 to 7

Because the Maldives are close to the equator, the weather changes quickly and forecasts are often misleading. A downpour might occur… then the sun will return just as quickly! And most importantly, from May to November, it's the only time to swim with manta rays and whale sharks in the Baa Atoll. So, don't let the term "rainy season" deter you… it's a unique opportunity not to be missed!
