A windy bumpy seaplane ride to Baa Atoll, Maldives

Photo 1/2: it could be the first time that I had a bumpy seaplane ride.  The wind speed went up to 40-50 km/hr due to the tropical cyclone drawing the south west monsoon wind in the west of India.  The pilot took the gaps of the heavy clouds, and did a good job to make it.  It could be a bad luck for those who have motion sickness.  Some passengers vomited in such a tiny cabin.  So we gave them some methol to ease down his sickness and also I advised him to look afar at the horizontal line, not focused on the cabin inside.  I then thought of my grand ma who taught me all these.  I gave her a smile and also for how tough my father asked me to bear with the motion movements at my younger time.  So I got trained to cope with this kind of motion sickness except for slow swaying.  I couldn't get used to big cruise ship slow swaying somehow.
Photo 3: Baros resort in North Male Atoll - will be staying this one as it's a sister resort of Velassaru.  Photo 4:Coco Bodu Hithi in North Male Atoll.  Photo 5: Loama resort in Baa Atoll.  Photo 6: Kudafusi in Baa Atoll - in future travel agenda.  Photo 7: Dhigali in Baa Atoll.  It's interesting to see those resorts I have been to in another aerial view.  I'm glad that I could recognise them - meaning each one is very unique in their shape and style.

Goodbye Loama Maldives


2 bedroom ocean pool suite.

If you share this suite with friends (about 4 persons in total), the room rate isn't too expensive, as it's just US$1,100 for this 2BR pool suite.  That means each person's cost is US$225.  On the 2 sides are the individual BR and in the middle 2nd floor is the living room and the ground floor as dining room. The pool of this one is almost 2-3 times bigger than the 1BR suite.  What's more the villa is on a panoramic east to west view with both sunrise and sunset view.  Unbeatable!

1 bedroom ocean pool suite, Loama Maldives

At the end of the water villa section, there are 3 suites.  The end is the 2 BR pool suite and the other 2 on the sunrise and sunset sides are the 1 BR pool suite.  This one is about US$700 in a duplex.  The pool is bit small though.  The view is very spectacular with a spacious sun deck area.

The Royal suite, Loama Maldives

This royal suite is on the eastern tip of the island having a powery white beach in the front and a private pool.  The room rate is about US$700.

The Facilities, Loama Maldives

Quite in a contrast to its restaurants which don't offer a full a-la-carte menu, the resort's other facilities are pretty sufficient, at least a big swimming pool with spacious sun lounging area, a fully equipped gym and a kids' club for various toys and child's sport.
