Maldive Victory, North Male Atoll, Kaafu Atoll

Advantages: This is my favourite Island so Far
Disadvantages: None what so ever

...Baros is a small island in the North Male atoll. about 40 mins boat transfer from the Airport. Well this was the very first Island we stayed on back in 1993, we revisited again in Dec '02,. Since then it has been completely refurbished, all new bungalows each with steps up to a terrace outside each room, all rooms only a few steps from the waters edge. Beautiful gardens with scented flowers all round the island. New bars and restaurants that are excellent, the coffee shop extends onto the terrace over the beach, where you watch the sun go down. The service was very good as was the food. The island has a sea wall that shelters one side of the island from the sea, this is great for snorkelling if you are not too confident in the water, but just outside the sea wall is the house reef for the more experienced. As with all the islands... Read review

...Paradise in real life: I should say that its an excellent relaxing hideaway for honeymooners. It’s a perfect place for those who yearn for tranquillity and privacy in a natural surrounding.

I will go in detail about both the resorts : 1) Taj Coral Reef 2) Paradise resort. Taj coral reef: Located in the north male atoll. There is pickup from the airport which is by a speed boat.

...We have just returned from an amazing holiday that was a week on the Atoll Explorer and a week on Biyadhoo. (12/8/07to 27/8/07) The previous review is very true today. We booked through Voyages Jules Verne on their internet site.The whole holiday cost £3,390 for the two of us. We were transfered by speedboat to the Atoll Explorer and were welcomed with a cocktail and a brief outline of the boat and itinery for the North Ari Atoll trip. The boat is perfect for both serious divers and those who snorkel or just want a relaxing holiday in the most photographic locations. It is a liveaboard dive boat. We had booked a B cabin and had cabin 19a which had a small balcony with two chairs. Though small it was perfect with a great picture window like patio doors with air conditioning as well. The staff from the Captain down to the galley boy... Read review
