Nooma
With elegantly crafted curved prow, vast single sail (but with auxiliary engine), thatched roof (over a cabin of reassuring luxury) and sarong-clad crew of four, our new 19m long vessel - "Nooma" - is modelled on the traditional Maldivian sailing Dhoni. It's a Dhoni of desire for secret reef snorkelling, sunset sailing, a romantic dinner for two, overnight at a deserted island, or even for a leisurely cruise from the airport to Baros.
With gourmet meals served on board by your personal butler, secluded sun deck for two in the bow, and a private saloon lounge, toilet, shower, and air-conditioned double bedroom, this is the Dhoni for the ultimate intimate cruise. And it can be yours when you stay at Baros.
There is more to the Maldives than Baros, and the island staff can help you discover the essence of the islands with excursions that can be arranged on request by the friendly and ever helpful Guest Services Representatives.
Try something new. An exploration of the Maldives.
