Baros

Baros is one of the Maldives' original resorts, welcoming guests since 1973. A mere 25 minutes by speedboat from Male International Airport, the resort's intimate size provides a warm and welcoming vibe.

About
Baros typifies the exquisite tropical luxury the Maldives is famed for. Think rustling palm trees, clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. Every aspect of the resort, from the meticulously arranged huts and villas to the immaculately maintained grounds and gardens, exemplifies cultured elegance and understated luxury. The hospitality of the staff is exceptional and the intimate size of this romantic retreat sets it apart from others in the Maldives. The island, part of the North Male Atoll, is surrounded by a house reef; wade into the lagoon and encounter a kaleidoscope of colourful fish and turtles drifting through the reef, located just a mere 20 meters from the shore.
Rooms
Privacy, serenity, and comfort are the essence of the villas at Baros Maldives. The Deluxe villas, dotted along the shorefront and shaded by tropical foliage, feature a large bedroom opening onto a beachfront deck, whilst the larger Baros villas are right by the beach and come with four poster beds and private verandas; Baros Pool villas also come with a private infinity pool. Perched above the lagoon, the Water villas have wide timber decks with four poster day beds, and wooden steps down to the waters below; whilst Water Pool villas feature their own private plunge pools. For the ultimate in luxury, The Baros Residence features a separate bedroom and living room, it's own stretch of Baros beach, private infinity pool, walled garden and 24 hour Butler service.
Acitvity
Whilst you can easily spend your days on Baros enjoying the luxury of doing nothing, there are plenty of experiences on offer to make the most of your time here. Set sail on the resort's traditional dhoni for reef snorkelling adventures, sunset sailing or romantic dinner cruises for two. Set out early for a full-day of dolphin or whale shark watching, or embark on a fish expedition with a Marine biologist. Famous for its snorkelling, the Baros house reef is so close to shore that it can easily be explored by beginners, or Divers Baros Maldives, a PADI five-star Gold Palm Dive Centre, offers dives which are designed to preserve and ensure minimum impact on the environment whilst providing unforgettable underwater experiences. Escape and unwind at the Serenity Spa or sip champagne at the Lighthouse Lounge whilst the sun sets.
