What’s the deal? The ultimate island resort for laidback luxury and romance, Baros is situated in the central southern part of North Malé Atoll, just 25 minutes by speedboat from the country’s international airport. Both Emirates and FlyDubai operate direct routes and couples can take advantage of a Wellness Experience package that offers return airport transfer by speedboat (excluding flights), a one-hour yoga session on a secluded sandbank, breakfast in your villa, a couples’ massage, a 105-minute healing shirodhara (where liquid is poured on your head) and abhyanga oil massage and teppanyaki dinner.

How much? From Dhs3,300 per night for two people in a deluxe villa, excluding flights. While you’re there: Go snorkeling or diving. The island is surrounded by one of the best house-reefs in the Indian Ocean and is filled with coral, turtles, sharks and rays.
