This is my second time in Bata Atoll. The first was the nearby Royal.
Now Kihaa
Been here a few days now and already have something to say. Okay here. After the luxury of islands like One&Only and Laamu, it is definitely calmer here. Especially in our time of crisis.
From the island of Dharavandhoo, where they recently built an airport for landing twin-engine DASH-300 aircraft, there is a very roomy Doni, a local boat that is also used for fishing and diving. Walk from the airport to the island 10 minutes.
The beaches here are insanely beautiful. They are probably one of the most beautiful in the Maldives. White sand is almost everywhere.
The food on the island is very extensive. In any case, given that it is here for everyone three times a day, the dishes must be repeated. Them from the belly!
Several types of cheese. Fruit is cut right in front of the nose. Here they cook meat and fish, a lot of sweets. Food. Four delicious varieties of ice cream are especially traumatic for the soul.
You have to eat it twice a day.
A special word for salads. Everything is absolutely fresh. I don’t want to take it, and God forbid that all this fits.
I was pleased with the table of Chinese food.
There is another restaurant for private dinners. Everything is open until 22:00.
Yes, we still have the Chinese, but unlike the very rich Chinese, ours behave more modestly and noisily with tactlessness, like theirs oligarchs from other islands. They behave modestly and inconspicuously, which is a surprise to me.
On Sunday evening, a disco on the sand is organized on the beach by the pool, which I specifically missed on other islands. Held from 8:00 a. m. to 10:00 p. m.
Large spacious reception obliges. There is also a cybercafe, which someone probably still needs today, and a shop for small necessities and souvenirs.
Cool, but at one end of the island is the mansion of the Maltese owner of the island, who wished to build a house with 19 bedrooms.
That's exactly how it should be.
This building is one of the most beautiful on the island and was originally mistaken for a spa. Everything is very good there.
But the SPA just stands separately on stilts and I didn’t get there. Although the prices there are very attractive and you can massage without creaking your wallet. Treatment in the SPA costs around 70 Baku.
There is activity on the island in the evening. I counted as many as 2 bars. And there are always a lot of Germans and Czechs.
There are still Russians on the skeleton. And for the last five years I have met them extremely rarely, but Putin probably hasn’t brought everyone to the handle yet. They are and it's great.
A separate building is a gym with a bunch of rocking chairs and there are two squash courts under the roof. Two table tennis. There are also two large tennis courts to kick the ball.
The diving center is a separate swan song. It is being extensively rebuilt by New Zealand owner Mark, fitting it to the standards of a serious five-star.
Equipment of the Italian company Cressy.
Three compressors including nitrox.
There is also a watersport opposite, two Yamal jet skis and a curious House reef with a cloud of tuna that walks in a flock. The peace-loving nanny shark is constantly sleeping here.
All this living creatures are actively fed at 1.00 am and stingrays swim up.
Diving here is not just good. Opposite is the Hanifaru Biosphere Reserve, where in the summer there are a lot of manta rays and they can be found almost everywhere.
Today, for example, there were six of them and they all hung out with us for 40 minutes.
Sharks have been gone from Baa for a long time, but thanks to the President's conservation program, they have returned home after a ten-year absence.
And in general - Baa is one of the main diving atolls in this country
It should be recalled that the instructor here is Belarusian! With 15 years of experience in these parts.
You must definitely go to this island with your snorkels, masks and fins, more than a day of rent will cost under $ 15 per nose.
Information about excursions on the island
- dolphin cruise $70
- Evening fishing $75
- romantic sunset cruise on a local dhoni boat 200 for two and every third extra - 75
- jet skiing is perhaps the most inexpensive of the pleasures to go around the island -65 (for two! )
A nice cozy island, after reconstruction with the Maldivian management, which is especially important that at least from here the money does not migrate abroad to hotel chains from all over the world, but remains in the country.
Little is known about this island to our tourist, since it is still not particularly visible in advertisements.
