Baros Maldives

I had an excellent stay on Baros. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, the house reef was beautiful, very close to the shore and easy to access, the food was delicious and the people were very friendly and did everything for you to feel like in paradise. Thank you Sujata for handling everything for me so quickly and efficiently. Thank you Shuga from the Diving Center for introducing the underwater world to me and explaining everything related to the marine life.

Exceptional, romantic and memorable experience

My beautiful wife and I spent 7 nights on Baros Island in March 2026 to celebrate our Honeymoon. There were many highlights of our time on the island. We would best describe the food as amazing and the service from the staff was exceptional. Our Beach Villa with pool was also a highlight of our stay and was presented immaculately. Attention to detail was what made it so special for us. Staff that went above and beyond whilst on the Island (all staff did an awesome job) were Sujata our guide and butler. Chandana one of the Chefs…along with Lama in the Lighthouse bar and Shimla and Kareem in the Lime Restaurant. We also enjoyed our chats with Francious and Shazeel about life on the Island. All in all a wonderful holiday to the Maldives for us both. We would highly recommend Baros for providing outstanding service.

We stayed four nights at Baros after seeing a good recommendation on Upgraded Points. The deal that attracted us was that you get an over water villa as a standard room reward if you have raked up sufficient Hilton points or you want to use a Hilton AmEx Aspire free night reward. The over water villa did not disappoint with gorgeous views of the turquoise waters. These villas have a decent sized patio with lounge chairs, gazebo, dining table and chairs. There are also steps to walk down from the patio and snorkel or just swim around the lovely waters. The room itself has an incredible oversized plush king bed and a giant bathroom with bath tub, his/her sink etc. At the end of this amazing stay, I can’t help but leave with a lasting impression of the second to none *warm* hospitality by each and everyone of the staff at Baros. Sujatha was our incredible host for all of our needs at Baros. She welcomed us when we arrived in the speed boat and created a WhatsApp group including me and wife to take of all our wishes. Just think of her like a human version of the Magic Genie🤓 at your service all the time. She even lent her own sunglasses to my wife for a incredible dolphin tour that we took during our stay. My wife went on two guided snorkeling sessions in the house reef and areas surrounding the resort. Her guide Ushan was simply amazing and taught her a few tricks to snorkel comfortably in the waters and reefs. We are vegetarians and while Baros has a few veg options in their standard menu, they have cooks from India/Sri Lanka/Pakistan/Maldives who will cook literally *anything* you want off the menu. Mohammed Ishti cooked chapati/channa masala/bhindi masala/veg biriyani and masala dosas (take that!!!) during our stay for dinner. There’s a beautiful palm garden to hang out in the cool breeze even during super hot days. Munna was always there with a smile to serve us fresh coconut water and warm pita/hummus every afternoon. The continental breakfast as complete as one can get anywhere in the world. Risindu was on top of our daily favorites and meticulously sent jambo/passion fruit to our breakfast table. Rifath took great personal care of us daily during breakfast. We had very yummy egg while omelets, pastries, overnight oats, pineapple sushi and cappuccinos. If you visit Baros, you should try and meet Lakshita (the main chef). He will pull out all the stops to take care of every food craving that you may have!!! Our daily room service was immaculate under Noyon’s care. You simply can’t go wrong with Baros if you want to relax, unwind and leave feeling like a King…

I have stayed in many luxury hotels but I have to say that I never been as impressed as I have been doing my stay at Baros. What started as a booking due to convenient location, yes this paradise is only 20 minutes from the Maldives Airport, ended up being one of my the best experiences in a hotel. The staff was amazing. Baros staff is attentive to the smallest detail. As the Hotel yacht picks you up from the guests are elevated to an individualized well thought out experience. Ruvi our private butler made sure our hardest decision of the day was to decide if wanted to have drinks at the lighthouse watching thw sunset, eat at the cayenne or attend to one of their special events at the grounds outside the Vellas br. The grounds are immaculate. The infinity pool and the white sandy beaches with wooden decks are designed for privacy and casual living. Cold water with extra ice as we prefer along with scented fresh face cloths would appear without any requests. Care free stay where every detail is antecipated and executed.. The rooms are straight out of of a dream. Whether you choose an above water casistas or private beach rooms, you will find spacious rooms with all amenities. Each class of room has it's own features such as outdoor shower, jump in the ocean decks or swim in your private pool decks or sandy beach. The rooms are spacious and immaculate. The mini bar/kitchen blends with high-end decor. Plush bedding and windows/drapes cather to fantastic ocean views or ultimate privacy, your choice. But don't spend too much time in the room or you will miss the ocean BBQ or the Maldive dining experience they host weekly. Very unfortunate that I only had two days to spend in this little piece of paradise. I regret that I did not have a chance to participate in any of their outings or use their Spa. I would strongly recommend the small intimate luxury Hotel. And I would definitely recommend that you ask for Ruvi as your butler. That will guarantee a memorable stay.
