Explore the resort
You're going to love the food at Dusit Thani. This resort's executive chef offers up an ever-changing menu of Thai, Indian, and international dishes at each of the property's restaurants. If you prefer something more intimate, private meals can be prepared, including a floating breakfast in your plunge pool or a "borderless" custom dinner for two anywhere on the island. This resort’s spa services take relaxation to a whole different level. Whether you prefer a massage, facial, body treatment, or a luxurious package including all three, you're guaranteed an unforgettable experience. Best of all, spa services include the use of the resort's fabulous sauna, steam room, and shaded pool.
If you're hoping to soak up some sun, you're in for a treat. The Dusit Thani resort is home to the region's largest infinity pool and plenty of loungers to go around. This property also includes tennis courts, a fitness center, and tons of daily activities to choose from. Thai cooking lessons, yoga, guided nature hikes, wine tastings, cocktail-making classes, and behind-the-scenes tours can be arranged on request. Plus, each villa features bicycles and buggy transfers to help you explore the property. Families traveling with children can make use of the resort's kids club, featuring complimentary all-day activities and events designed for ages 3 to 12.
Diving at Dusit Thani
Dusit Thani's PADI 5 star dive centre offers multiple dives every day from its dhonis, with larger boats available for group rental. The resort is situated just minutes from some of the region's best diving and snorkeling sites, including Hanifaru Bay. But, if you're new to diving or don't enjoy being on a boat, you'll find plenty of action on the resort's house reef. On-site activities include world-class snorkeling, night dives, and fluorescence dives. Full equipment rental is available, and licensed nitrox divers can enjoy complimentary enriched air to maximize their time underwater. If you're interested in beginning or continuing your dive education, this property offers a variety of PADI courses in multiple languages, including Chinese and Arabic. Options include kids classes like Bubblemaker (suitable for children as young as 8), Open Water certification, and even advanced courses like Rescue Diver and specialties.
Diving in the Maldives is all about the big stuff. This region is famous for up close and personal encounters with marine megafauna like whale sharks, manta rays, and other large pelagics. Nearby Hanifaru Bay is one of the best-known places on the planet to observe reef mantas performing their rarely seen cyclone feeding behavior. But, Baa Atoll has plenty to offer more intrepid divers, too. Sites in this area include plunging walls, stunning pinnacles, and powerful ocean currents. It’s a great place to try your hand at drift diving, visit your very first cleaning station, or explore the underwater world below 30 metres. Crystal-clear visibility and a vibrant backdrop of coral make this a great place to practice your wide-angle photography skills as well.
