We just got back from Baros Island and we had the most magical time. The holiday gave us exactly what we wanted and more! Immaculate detail, great service from staff, and great amenities. A special shout out to Araven and Ruvi for taking great care of us! Few helpful things to note for those visiting; we stayed on the water villa with a pool and were so glad we did! It was gorgeous. It gave us the privacy we wanted, the pool was the perfect size, and from our villa we had direct access to the ocean for unlimited snorkelling. The island had a good balance of entertainment and activities for guests, I particularly loved the evening cocktails for guests and the live signing in the evening. We also did the night snorkelling activity and saw sharks, large sting ray, and other beautiful marine life. During day time snorkelling we saw an large variety of sea life and coral reefs all around the island. They provided all snorkelling gear at no extra charge. The food at their hotel restaurant was delicious - no complaints whatsoever so ever. We went mid August and the weather was great, it rained once for a short while at night, but for the entire 5 days the weather was perfect. The entire island has been thoughtfully designed and curated to anticipate every need one could have during their stay. Even the smallest touches—complimentary cookies left for us each evening, a beautifully arranged fruit bowl, room cleaning several times during the day while we were out, and a well-stocked minibar with plenty of options—made us feel really well taken care of. The island is also 25 minutes by speed boat from Male Airport which was ideal and meant we could start enjoying our holiday pretty much as soon as landed. We can’t recommend it enough! It was worth every dollar.

My fiancée and I had such a wonderful stay at Baros Maldives. The island is beautiful, peaceful and truly feels like a little piece of paradise. One of my favourite experiences was having breakfast by the sea. It was such a simple but beautiful way to start the day, surrounded by the ocean and the peaceful atmosphere of the island. The snorkelling was another highlight. The reef around Baros is beautiful and definitely one of the best spots we’ve experienced. We also really enjoyed the activities and water sports selection. There’s a great variety, and having so many options really makes a difference during the stay. And for something more relaxed, the ping pong table was surprisingly fun! Baros also made my birthday very special and arranged some lovely surprises for us. It was a thoughtful touch and something I’ll definitely remember. A special thank you to our butler, Ruvi, who was amazing throughout our stay. She was always kind, helpful and attentive, making sure everything was taken care of while also giving us our privacy. Her genuine care really made our experience even more enjoyable. The whole team at Baros was welcoming and professional, and we truly enjoyed every moment. We hope to come back soon! 🌴

You are paying a premium cost for the experience at this location, and it genuinely offers value that justifies the expense! Our time at this island resort was absolutely incredible, and we have no reservations or unfavorable remarks about our stay whatsoever. Throughout our entire visit, starting from the moment we first checked in until the time we departed at checkout, the staff attended to our needs with a level of care and attention that surpassed any service we have received elsewhere. Our personal butler, Ruvindya, was amazing; she followed up with us daily and kept us updated on our plans! Executive chef Lakshitha along with his team Chandana, dilshan, Smith, cooked us some amazing Sri Lankan meals! The beach environment was incredibly pleasant, enhanced by the presence of numerous baby sharks throughout the area. Furthermore, the locations designated for snorkeling around the island were also found to be quite remarkable. The accommodations we stayed in were maintained in a clean condition, and the wireless internet connectivity proved to be reliable and robust. The entire island itself was consistently kept in an excellent state of maintenance. Taking everything into consideration, our overall experience felt absolutely heavenly.
