dhaainkanbaa-maldives

Inspired by the lifestyle of Sultana Dhaainkan’baa,

who ruled Maldives for a brief period during the

14th Century, here we present the floating palace of

adventure.

Though she was a Sultana who came from a highly

respected dynasty of pure royalty, it was not her

political wisdom that captured the hearts of her people.

She was adored by her people for her mesmerizing

beauty, sweet charm and her way of life. A passionate

personality with a fondness for the tranquil beauty of

nature, poetry and art. A love for lavish ornaments,

jewelry and gold embroidered silks. A generous heart

full of affection in pursuit of pleasure.

Simply, a lifestyle of sheer splendor!

Be it a celebration, an exploratory tour, a leisure

retreat or a relaxing escape, Dhaainkan’baa will

fulfill fantasies & dreams and make it a memorable

adventure. Services are personalized to cater to the

wishes of the clientele, offered by dedicated crew well

experienced and trained in their respective fields.

Dhaainkan’baa is available for both private charter and

group cruising. Group cruising offers pre-designed

diving or surfing tours. For that very exclusive personal

get away or get together, a private charter is the perfect

choice for clients who prefer privacy or a personalized

vacation that is totally tailor made incorporating the

best of everything. From custom itineraries, sailing

routes, gourmet with menus prepared to personal

tastes, preferred selection of wines....all set for a truly

personal adventure.

Colors of delight….Nature’s artwork in light

Maldives has a reputation of being one of the best

diving destinations of the world, an archipelago

formed with reef atolls with an abundance of fish,

innumerable species of coral and sheer diversity of

the experiences that could be enjoyed at the different

dive sites.

Sites known for Manta Ray breeding and frequent

visits by Whale Sharks are scattered across the

country. Similarly dive sites with varying attractions

are available throughout the country, some popular for

the corals and macro appeal, while others are more

famous for varieties of specific fishes, and yet others

for pinnacles, caves and formations.

Dhaainkan’baa is a PADI registered dive boat with

compressed air and nitrox diving available, fully

equipped to conduct recreational diving.
