Turquoise waters lap at white-sand shores. Towering palms rustle overhead. Welcome to Baros, a natural paradise with a lush island canopy, just 25 minutes by speedboat from the Maldives' international airport. The hotel welcoming guests since 1973, and have spent decades honing services and cultivating environment, crafting what it is believed to be a legendary resort. Today, it is one of the most loved Maldives resorts, and we're excited to show you what makes us so special.

This is our 6th time in Maldives, so far we have stayed at different resorts every time. This time, we were looking for one with great house reefs, because.... the last few ones we've been too are disappointing. With A.I. I manage to find Baros - but I was a little skeptical at first because the island is to close to Male. But - it did not disappoint. The house reefs were really fantastic. We spent 3 days snorkeling at the house reefs, and we saw sharks, turtles, eagle rays and of course big varieties of fish - every single trip. Salini was our butler and she took care of everything well. Took photos for us as well so we had plenty of couple photos :) Rest of the staff were also very friendly and attentive. Other great points: - Quiet! since there is a no-kids policy. - The rooms were newly renovated even though the resort has been there for many years. However - if you are going for the water villa, do choose the one next to the house reef. The ones on the other side had practically no marine life in the water.

My wife and I went back to the Maldives after some 20 years and were advised to go to Baros. That advice was perfect as we were also celebrating a 25th anniversary and all the staff and team there really pulled to stops out to make our stay so very special. We met up with friends who had a few nights there before we arrived and they also were blown away with the quality and high level of service and cuisine. The atmosphere was magical, our room was perfect and so close to the sea - we could literally get out of bed and be in the sea in 25 paces! Brilliant. The staff were brilliant and so attentive to our needs; nothing was too much trouble or effort. They were so friendly and got to know our requirements quickly, which we thought was very special. We were fortunate to have a wonderful butler, Salini, who was always one step ahead of what we needed and such a lovely soul. There were so many others (too many to name all) but, Albina, Lakshithka (LJ), Majeed, Rishpal, Sonia and the irrepressible Totto were names to come to mind. They are all desriving of our sincere thanks for looking after us soooo well!

Absolutely perfect stay. Amazing Island, fantastic staff and super bungalows. Restaurants and bars were all we needed during our week there. We are lucky enough to have stayed in some of the best luxury hotels and resorts in the world and Baros is right up there! A special shout out to our amazing Butler Salini and Maria our fantastic bartender. Nothing was too much trouble for these guys. We will be back soon.
