...yellowfin fusiliers swishing past me. The marine life is abundant, from spaceshiplike manta rays to the venomous yet showy lionfish. And some of what swims underwater also pleases when it lands on your plate. Aussie chef Damian Barrett's menu features such treats as grilled Maldivian lobster, spicy mud crab and straight-out-of-the-water yellowfin tuna sashimi. If you're an adept fisherman, the chefs at the Cayenne Grill, one of three excellent restaurants, are happy to throw your catch on the barbie. Baros is locally owned, and its Maldivian-designed villas feature natural materials like stone, teak...

A “hmph” or dismissive nod might indicate a slight acknowledgement of the hassle of getting...
