Baros, Maldives

Above Water
Amongst the turquoise sea elegant villas sit on stilts or along the island's white-sand beach. There are so many opportunities to taste the island's cuisine and explore through sunset trips a traditional dhoni to a sandbank where guests can dine privately under the night sky.
Best Time to Go
Unlike many other destinations, summer is not the best time to go as underwater visibility is not at its best due to masses of plankton floating here, but this, in turn, attracts whale sharks and manta rays. 

Turtle Inn, Belize

Underwater
Just off the shore of Turtle Inn is the Caribbeans largest barrier reef. Although Turtle Inn will take guests to the Blue Hole, most trips are closer, to the inner atolls or to the Belize Barrier Reef. This destination can really create an unforgettable experience for many divers as it is home to whale sharks, dolphins and manta rays.

Owned by the famous film director Francis ford Coppla, this resort screams luxury. The beachfront cottages are individually designed with Mayan and Balinese influences.
Best Time to Go
Fortunately, the waters surrounding Turtle Inn teem with life year-round, but if you are wanting to see a whale shark, between April and June is the best time to go. 

Four Seasons, Sharm El Sheikh 

Underwater
Sharm is a very popular destination for beginners due to its excellent visibility (around 30 metres). The best dive sites such as Ras Mohammed are just a short boat ride away. However, if you would rather snorkel, there are plenty of fish and the occasional turtle on the house reef.
Above water
Four seasons offers the best service in Sharm. While the decor is dated, it is hard to fault the facilities. There are three swimming pools, a spa, gym and tennis courts.
Best Time to Go
The red Sea is warm enough to dive comfortably the whole year round, but visibility is best during the summer. 

Six Senses Zighy Bay, Oman
