My husband and I have just come from Baros. The location was perfect, it took 20 minutes from the airport so no extra time to the final destination. Baros was quiet, peaceful, beautiful and friendly. All staff were very friendly, welcoming and making comfortable staying and especially our butler Ruvi, she arranged everything we need and always ready to help. Thanks, Ruvi! Snorkeling at Baros was incredible. We met all kinds of fish, sharks family ( with 3 babies), stingrays and turtles! We swam with a turtle quite for a while in front of our villa. Snorkeling safari was also unforgettable experience. We tried three different resataurants. All was good. Always they served fresh delicious dish. One of the best service of Baros is early check in and late check out with no charge. Whenever you are ready, they are ready. We already miss Baros in Maldives. Thanks to all members of Baros again.

We had such a lovely time at Baros. We honestly didn’t want to leave when our holiday came to an end. It’s been a long time since we’ve come back from a holiday feeling this relaxed and happy. We looked at quite a few resorts in the Maldives before deciding on Baros, as it’s not easy to choose when there are so many beautiful islands. We’re really glad we chose it because it was just what we wanted, the authentic Maldivian charm . We enjoyed the food, the drinks and our villa, which was always spotless. The housekeeping team came twice a day, which was great. We also loved the island itself. It has a lovely natural feel, and the reef was one of our favourite things about staying there. My partner isn’t a confident swimmer, so I wasn’t sure how much he would enjoy it, but we really didn’t need to worry. There was plenty to do, and we were just as happy staying on the island and relaxing. We never felt we had to plan something for every day. Sometimes it was nice just to take things as they came and enjoy being there. A big thank you to our butler, Salini, as well. She was wonderful during our stay and always so helpful. She seemed to remember all the little things and was there whenever we needed her. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and she made everything very easy for us. Thank you for looking after us so well, Salini. Hopefully, we’ll see you again when we come back! Overall, we have nothing but lovely memories of Baros. The island is beautiful, the reef is amazing, and everyone made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed our time there so much that we were already talking about coming back ...

My sister and I just got back from celebrating our birthdays at Baros Maldives and it was honestly the best trip we’ve ever had. The island is beautiful, but the staff are what really makes this place special. Our butler, Sujata( Suzy), was absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and accommodating with everything, and she really went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay. The manager was also fantastic and made our birthdays so incredibly memorable. They surprised us with a wonderful Maldivian dinner put beautiful decorations in our room, and treated us with the outmost respect and care. Every single person working here was so happy, polite, and genuinely helpful. You can tell they love what they do. Also, the food was incredible—every single meal we had was mouthwatering and so delicious. On top of that, the entire resort is kept spotlessly clean. Thank you so much to everyone at Baros for giving my sister and me memories we will keep forever!

We had excellent experience in staying Baros. The location is very convenient, 20 min away from airport, the resort is very elegant, quiet and beautiful. The island is surrounded by a beautiful house reef, we are doing snorkeling everyday. The food and service are excellent. We are really appreciative our Butler Suzy, who is very professional, warm and very considerate. We will come back again.

We had a wonderful honeymoon at Baros. The hotel is a combination of bespoke service, elegant style, amazing reef and much more. It is a very private and small island yet we always found something to do and didn’t get bored even the slightest bit. The location is very convenient, first we were afraid it might be too close to Male but during our stay Male was barely visible so it was not a problem at all. On the contrary, the journey from the airport by boat took very comfortable 20 minutes and it was more of a positive side. Big thanks to the team for ensuring all our requests about the rooms were met, we lived in a wonderful beach villa with pool. It had a very relaxing Maldivian style and it was a pleasure coming back every evening. The bed was so comfortable, the cleaning was also great, it was done twice a day. Big thanks to our wonderful housekeeper. We especially want to note the housereef, it is unimaginable lively and we have seen different types of rays, a lot! of sharks (first we were even scared of their number but then began to feel really comfortable around them), turtles, crabs, and lots lots of fish. We have also tried the night snorkelling and it was a spectacular experience, our instructor then shared videos and pictures of it. The food was delicious, we had a half board and were surprised of the quality of breakfasts and dinners. In the morning staff offered an “eye opener” or fresh juice shots as we entered the restaurant, breakfast buffet was amazing and offered everything one might need and was super fresh. Dinners were also great, especially we want to note beef tenderloin at lime and cayenne restaurants and Maldivian night buffet. The only suggestion for improvement we have is to probably refresh the main restaurant Lime a bit and maybe change green napkins to some neutral color to give it a more high end feeling ( again it’s lime and we get why they are green ). Finally, we want to really thank every person of the staff that we met, everyone was super nice and eager to make our stay better. They are all very nice people who made our stay unforgettable. Especially we want to thank our butler Salini, she is a true professional and also a very nice person with a big heart, she made sure we had everything we needed and more. Also big thank you to mr. Shazeel for his help and a quick yet amazing response to our request. Hope to be back soon! And thank you for making our accession so special!
