Fantastic stay on Baros. We love the Maldives and this is not our first rodeo to one of the most unique places in the world. When looking for a resort the words relaxed unpretentious friendly hideaway with great snorkeling/diving are our key criteria. Baros checked many boxes. Despite being a little bit of a bigger island in terms of guests in comparison to Mirihi or Kandolhu, the atmosphere was extremely relaxed and truly hideaway like. Our overwater Villa was very well designed and immaculately kept by the amazing housekeeping staff. The reef offered a great variety of fish, turtles and sharks. Sea was a bit rough and therefore snorkeling better for advanced skills, but overall very good. Full disclosure for snorkelers/divers looking for untouched diverse coral formations Baros is good, but other house reefs we experienced are better. The resort is wonderfully kept, but the true shine comes from the incredible staff. Thank you very much for an amazing stay and a wonderful time to the whole team.

Baros Maldives is more than a destination, it is a feeling, a sanctuary, and a place where time gently slows down. Celebrating our anniversary there with my wife was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful. Every sunrise felt like a quiet promise, and every sunset was a reminder of how special shared moments can be. The care, warmth, and genuine hospitality of the Baros team made us feel not like guests, but like family returning home. Baros will always be my escape from life’s pressures. A place where worries dissolve with the tide and only gratitude remains. It is where I will always choose to celebrate my most meaningful moments, a place forever woven into our love story. We left with full hearts, lasting memories, and the certainty that Baros is not just somewhere we visited, but somewhere we belong.

Our stay at Baros truly transformed into an unforgettable experience. After a challenging start, the team went above and beyond to turn our initial disappointment into something genuinely special. We were impressed by how thoughtfully and proactively they handled everything, and we left feeling deeply cared for. The resort itself is exceptional. The breakfast is outstanding with a wide and delicious selection, and the house reef is absolutely breathtaking—one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and perfectly maintained throughout our stay. A special thank you goes to our butler, Rau, who went out of her way to ensure our stay was memorable in every possible way. Her attention to detail, kindness, and dedication made a tremendous difference. We also loved participating in the coral reef sponsorship programme. We created our own cast of corals, which will soon be placed into the ocean and is a meaningful and beautiful contribution to the reef’s restoration. We also learned there a lot about corals (who knew they had tentacles!). Another highlight was the fishing trip, which was incredibly fun and well organised. A big thank you to Ahmed and Team for helping us catch so many fish! To end our stay, we enjoyed a romantic dinner on the beach that was simply magical, created by Ahute and Palash. Baros truly redeemed itself and exceeded our expectations. We are grateful for the effort, hospitality, and personal touches that made our trip so special. Highly recommended!

The second visit to Baros was even more wonderful than our first one. Everything about this resort is 5 stars. The Breakfast is about as good as it gets, and all restaurants are in general above par. Same applies to the 2 bars with high quality drinks and very interesting options regarding signature cocktails. The views from the Lighthouse bar for sunset are really impressive. But the most distinctive aspect is in general all the staff. Friendly and making as feel the centre of the experience, as it should be, always thoughtful and ready to help, this are maybe one of the best staff I have ever seen working in the tourism industry. I would like to thank in particular to our Host - Sujata and the amenities cartaker Azmeel for all the professionalism and personal dedication towards me and my wife. They make the all experience feel even more special. In general is absolutely a 5 stars resort and every cent is well spent if you stay in Baros.

We spent the most beautiful two weeks of our lives here with my partner, and this place will forever hold a very special part of our hearts. Everything was breathtaking — the staff, the nature, the peaceful atmosphere, the accommodation, and the food — but what made our stay truly unforgettable was the feeling this island gave us. It felt healing, almost spiritual, as if the whole place was wrapped in a warm, gentle energy we had never experienced before. And at the center of this experience was Bonán. She is a rare, extraordinary soul — the kind of person whose presence alone brings comfort, light, and goodness. From the very first moment, she was there for us with genuine kindness, honest care, and a heart that felt impossibly pure. Every gesture, every smile, every small act of help came from a place of true compassion. She didn’t just assist us; she made us feel seen, supported, and understood. The warmth and love that radiate from her were the greatest gift of our entire stay. She does her work with a level of grace and devotion that is truly inspiring, and no matter what we needed — no matter how big or small — we could always count on her. Meeting her is something we will never forget, and her kindness will stay with us long after we leave this island.❤️🙏🏼
