Things to do in Baa Atoll
1. Kiha Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 130 reviews
Kiha Beach is your luxury hotel where you discover the true meaning of ‘island life’. We are only a 20 mins flight away from the Maldives capital. On this hidden emerald gem in Baa atoll, the endless blue waters around are the 7th richest biodiversity region in the world. Within these waters, hide the iconic green turtles. When you see one of these protected beauties, you can’t help but smile. Manta rays visit our atoll to indulge on abundant planktons. Whale Sharks annually gather to breed, 2 km from your hotel room! Dharavandhoo’s ‘island life’ is simple but exemplary for the way we interact with our environment.
Absolutely wonderful, great staff and good value
Reviewed By travellover988Stayed here for 6 nights then moved to Kihaamaldives resort on near island then back for one night. Lovely big rooms with A/C and fan and balcony looking onto beach. Fabulous staff. To be honest, if you can do without alcohol and some of the facilities, you will enjoy a great hotel at 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the Khiaamalkdives resort. Lovely beach steps away, and reef only a few metres out (at least 50-80 m at Kihaa). food was at least as good as the resort but a bit more limited, I liked two fried eggs at breakfast and every morning without ordering it was in front of me before I could finish fruit. Reception outstanding, booking my flight from Male (at least $100 cheaper that the resort price), arranged for me to get to pharmacy liased with resort about boat ride etc. Brilliant long pool so could have a good swim, mosquito coils near tables at night (none at the resort). If I ever overslept. a phone call would ensure I did not miss breakfast - and stayed until I finished) For me the real bonus was that the hotel has their own boat with dive master. Lovely boat with room for 10 and good padded seats. At Kihaa maldives the snorkelling boat carried over 25, a local dohni so more spartan and difficult to keep up with dive master. The hotel boat will also take to further reefs a a small extra charge where we saw Turtles, rays, sharks and dolphins (the nearer reef is also good). On the last day reception kept phoning to see if Manta rays were in the bay and got me there (over 29 there) and back in time for my evening flight. BRILLIANT

jungle side guesthouse on a hospitable island
Reviewed By Barnabas HCommunication was smooth with the guesthouse from the beginning, i.e. the time we contacted the Aboo on WhatsApp, he helped us with all the questions we had in advance and booked us the flight from/to Malé to/from Dharavandhoo. Aboo was flexible: when we told him we had a lot MVR and therefore, wanted to pay for the accommodation and the transport in MVR instead USD, he had no problem with it. In B.Maalhos it was Matheen who was our host. Shipon from his team came to pick us up at the airport and accompanied us to the airport on the way back, too. We were transferred in a small speed boat between Daravandhoo and B.Maalhos. The location of the guesthouse is great, it’s right next to the jungle of the island and is like 50 m from the beach. In addition, the part of the bikini beach of the island where we usually stayed (on the eastern side of the island) is also really close, around only a 150 m walk from the guesthouse. The guesthouse provided us with sunbeds along with an umbrella on the beach. When one of the snorkeling masks we brought from home turned out be too big, the guesthouse rented us snorkeling mask free of charge. The home reef of the island is really amazing, one can easily swim to the reef slope through a channel at the bikini beach and then just drift with the current all the way to the northern side of the island enjoying the view on the way – the underwater life is very abundant along the reef, we saw a lot of colorful fish. The guesthouse provides unlimited bottled water; tea filters, instant coffee and a water heater are also available. The guesthouse provided us breakfast in Waataru Café, which is next to the harbor and around a 5-minute walk from the guesthouse. Breakfast was really abundant; in addition to sausage and omelet, it always included Maldivian specialties, namely mas huni and roshi – as well as fresh fruit juice, fruit and coffee. When we asked the staff to serve the breakfast for one of us with papadum (?) (we found out that this food was made from gluten free flour and was widely available in the Maldives) instead of roshi – the person in question needs to keep a gluten free diet – the staff gladly responded to our request. When we turn to Matheen with a special request, namely that we wanted to have miruhulee boava, a spicy Maldivian dish made from octopus tentacles for dinner and join the chef while he or she is cooking the food in his or her home, Matheen readily responded to our request and invited us to his own home. It was Matheen’s daughter, Rafaa and his wife who cooked the dinner, we learnt about the ingredients and how to prepare the octopus and make roshi from them and had an exciting conversation about each other’s cuisine, culture and country. We ate the food together with Matheen’s four children and one of their cousins, it was really intimate and authentic, we followed them and ate in the Maldivian way, i.e. with hands. The excursions organized by Matheen and his team are at a reasonable price. We went to two excursions to watch turtles, sharks and mantas as well as to see a coral garden. On the first excursion, we were taken to snorkel to the home reef a nearby inhabited island and that of a close resort island where saw several turtles, sharks and even an eagle ray and a moral eel along with a heaps of colorful fish, it’s been an amazing experience. Matheen was completely honest with us when it came to what to expect on the excursions, e.g. he told us in advance that the corals are completely dead in the coral garden due to the coral bleaching that happened in the Maldives in 2016 – N.B. it’s been interesting to see the forms of the corals even if they were dead – and that the chances for seeing mantas were pretty low as the season ended a month before. When despite all his efforts, finally we didn’t see any mantas on our second excursion, he even gave us a discount. During the excursions we were provided soft drinks and snacks, namely coconut and apple pieces, which we liked a lot as this way we could reenergize ourselves. People on the island were really hospitable and friendly towards us, e.g. they greeted us in the street in advance and happily engaged in conversation with us when we went to the jetty to watch the sunset from there. When we walked around on the island and the local ladies were preparing some food in the yards of their houses or outside in the street, they always called us closer or even in and showed us how they were making the local snacks and sweets (or doing a barbecue), which, of course, we could taste, too. Another example of the hospitability of the locals is that when one day we stopped to stare at people who were collecting coconuts from a palm tree, they chopped off the top of two coconuts, gave them two us and invited us for a drink this way. Young people were especially open towards us, one of them even invited us into yard of the house of her family where we took a seat and had a chat and were offered some special local fruit. It is notable that there are dust bins in use in the street on the island and the local ladies clean the public areas of the island together twice a week. The restaurant where we usually had dinner is called Pink Rose and is close to the harbor. The place has a nice atmosphere, the staff in attentive, food is tasty and is at reasonable price. At the time of our stay, there were around five shops operating on the island; this is where we bought fruits, snacks, dairy products, etc. for ourselves.

Overview of guesthouse: We are located in Fulhadhoo Island, a small beautiful island of population approximately 300, found in Horsburgh Atoll. This naturally beautiful island is surrounded by several sandbanks and uninhabited islands. Fulhadhoo island has an approximate length of 1.920 km and a width of 0.250 km. Moreover this historical island had found its self in the pages of history as the famous explorer Francois Pyrard was shipwrecked near the island and had made his way on to the island back in the 1600's. Our island is well known for its crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches. Only a small proportion (about 20%) of the 0.47 kilometer squared island is inhabited while the remaining vast areas are covered by tall palm trees and sandy grounds. We strive to offer the maximum satisfaction in exploring Maldives and its culture to visitors from all over the world. Focused specially on activities such as fishing trips, snorkeling, scuba diving, trips to sandbanks, uninhabited islands, we offer the cheapest affordable rates available for anyone to visit these beautiful coral intensified islands!

Maldives - authentic style on one of the most beautiful unspoilt islands
Reviewed By bartjanssen78Palms Retreat offers the opportunity to enjoy Maldives in an authentic way. It is located on the beautiful island Fulhadhoo which is comparatively unspoilt by tourists. Where normally you share any attraction with dozens or thousands, here you can still have your private swim with mantas (we saw them), turtles (check), dolphins (they gave a great show). The housereef is diverse and full of colorful life - waters a bit shallow. In Palms Retreat the staff is very welcoming, helpful, food is great (mainly Thai) and the couple running the place (Ayman and Amy) very involved in the cooking, excursions etc. What not to expect: alcohol, fancy resort life. But trust me, the overall experience is very revitalizing. We went here with 3 kids (11, 9 and 7) and all had an amazing time. Thanks Ayman, Amy and Palms Retreat Team!

One of the best island trips!
Reviewed By SalvaahmedStayed 4 nights and 5 days in Olive. What a wonderful time we had in Goidhoo and in Olive. We did snorkeling trips and island hopping and all our requests were personally handled by the owner of Olive Jordy He was very accommodating and always guided us to the best options. Day-to-day operations were handle by very lovely ladies who always helped us with a smile. Olive have bicycles for rent which came as a blessing to discover Goidhoo. What a lovely island it was. If you go, discover Goidhoo and the close by islands. Every island has its beauty. Olive is situated in a such a place that you have enough privacy and a beach infront. Sometimes we were picked up and dropped off for excursions, right in front of the hotel beach which was more than our expectation. I would give Olive Goidhoo a 5 star rating for the reasons: 1. Our adventurous day ended in comfort of Olive rooms which done tastefully and comfortably. 2. Very clean 3. Extremely helpful 4. Food was good 5. Management and staff are nice and helpful 6. All things we wanted to was arranged easily. 7. We had our privacy and space. 8. People of Goidhoo are nice. They leave you alone but if you talk to them, they will talk back with a smile. Overall, one of the best island experiences from all my island trips. Kind of place/island I will go back ( many times ? ) Cheers
