Baros Maldives

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!

Baros never fails to amaze me. This was a repeat visit for me and certainly not my last. The resort is gorgeous, but it’s the warmth of the staff and that easy "home feeling" that really sets it apart. It stays completely true to its original concept—keeping that authentic Maldivian vibe where you can just be yourself without any pretense. ​The food was top notch throughout my stay. Breakfast was super plentiful and fresh every morning, and having delicious dinner under the stars each evening was just magical. On top of that, the house reef is amazing for snorkeling, and you can’t beat the convenience of the quick boat ride from Male. ​I have to give a massive thank you to my villa host Salini. Traveling solo, having someone so exceptionally kind and helpful made all the difference. She truly went above and beyond from day one to make sure my stay was unforgettable. I felt spoiled and looked after the whole time. See you next time!

We spent 7 wonderful days at Baros, and what an amazing place it is. The island is beautiful, the service and food are excellent, and the scuba diving is simply incredible. A special shout-out to Abdhu and the rest of the diving team — thank you for such a great experience! And many thanks to Ruvi and Noyon for taking such good care of us throughout our stay. We absolutely loved our time at Baros and would highly recommend the resort to anyone looking for a truly special experience in the Maldives.

Can’t really say anything else but wow, incredible! This resort is truly beautiful and I can’t think of anywhere I’ve been more magical. We’re on our last night of 5 and staying in a beautiful water villa. The attention to detail here is perfect. All of our meals have been lovely. The staff in the restaurants have been superb. Particular shout out to San who’s such a lovely lady. We’ve been snorkelling everyday and the different fish we’ve seen are stunning. Being able to swim alongside reef sharks and giant turtles has been a bucket list thing for us to do. Can’t really put it into words. Even had a small shark swim under our villa the other day and this morning a turtle swam around the villa for a few minutes. We’ve been to the Caribbean many times and the GBR but this tops them all. All of the staff around the island are incredibly friendly and helpful. At a drinks do the other night the executive assistant manager who I believe is called Shazeel, offered to show us behind the scenes - we saw the water plantation, electricity generator, compost management, staff quarters, cafe and general living accommodation for 250 island staff. A fascinating look at what as a holiday maker you take for granted. Finally our butler Ruvi, who has been lovely and very helpful. If you want peace, relaxation and paradise - just go :-)

The resort, its facilities, and its location are incredible. The hotel has one of the best reefs in the area, which is very well preserved and a true paradise for diving and snorkeling. The food is delicious, and the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always making sure you have the best possible experience. A special mention to our butler, Ruvi, and our dive master, Abhdu, for taking such great care of us and making our stay so memorable.
