Baros Maldives

Baros was suggested to us by our travel agent, Jason Toms at Audley Travel out of Boston, Ma. We had never traveled to the Maldives and wanted a very relaxing location after traveling from the US to Hong Kong. Jason immediately recommended Baros. We cannot thank him enough as he was spot on with this resort being special, relaxing, small and easy to get to by speed boat from the Male Airport. From the minute we touched down at the airport, we were taken care of by Baros. Unbelievable attention to our comfort, our needs and our satisfaction. The resort is small. It is beautiful. Magical. We are in our 70s and have been to many fine resorts but this property was so relaxing. No stress. Our butler, Shinta Febrina, is a treasure. She took care of everything. Things we did not even think about she anticipated and thru an easy texting set up took care of ALL needs. She is excellent and we are still in awe of her many kindnesses. Every employee was stellar. To name just a few: Ifram, Toto, Hareem, Karem, Don, Rishi, April and Tini. The food at Baros is awesome. The views are breathtaking. The resort offers alot of activities but we preferred relaxing and reading But many enjoyed snorkeling and scuba and the aquatic world there is amazing. Highly recommend Baros. Our hope is to return one day.

We stayed at Baros in an overwater villa. Baros was like a fairytale with great facilities and nature experience in terms of vegetation and snorkling by their house reef. Amazing service experience as well. Sujata, our butler, made the experience really good. Small things such as providing a nail scissor when we had forgotten it or aloe vera for our skin after the sun made the experience stand out. Sai, responsible for cleaning the room kept it nice and tidy all the time. Other stuff such as Francois and Justus also made the food and beverage experience amazing. We are already longing back and can't wait to visit again.

We loved the hotel. It's stylish, cozy, and comfortable. It's truly a boutique hotel, conveniently accessible from the airport, perfect for a 4-5-day trip. You feel cared for from the first minute to the last. Special thanks to our butler, Mika, who was always there to ensure our comfort.

Amazing small boutique resort with beautiful, quiet beaches. The place feels very luxurious but still relaxed, and the service was excellent throughout…the breakfast and dinner was amazing! Our butler, Saeed, was fantastic: super helpful, always friendly, and made everything easy for us. We had a great time, felt very well taken care of, and really enjoyed the calm atmosphere. The resort is just a 25-minute boat ride from Malé, yet you don’t feel the city at all. A perfect spot to enjoy a great house reef with sharks, turtles, and excellent snorkeling and diving.

We chose Baros for our honeymoon due to the luxury promised and the proximity to Male (quick boat ride) and the house reef. It did not disappoint! Baros was luxurious from the moment we were whisked away by the private boat. When we arrived, we were met with champagne and met our lovely butler Rau. She was just tremendous in every way. Somehow she knew exactly what we needed. She took us for a quick tour of the island, we were in complete awe. The island is absolutely breathtaking. It’s small and takes only 10-15 min to walk around the island. We loved it. When we got to our water bungalow our jaw dropped. It was spectacular. The pool was perfect and the access right off our place to the reef was incredible. The water bungalow was a real treat as we’ve never stayed in one. It’s so beautiful. We even had rain once in a while and took advantage of the gorgeous tub and bath salts watching it rain from inside the hot tub. The house reef is absolutely unbelievable and we are so glad we chose this resort to stay at because of it. We also took a night snorkelling excursion, which is something I would’ve never done if our Butler didn’t mention it to us I was terrified of doing something like that, and it was one of the most magical experiences of my life. The housekeeping comes twice a day which just blew my mind. I’ve never stayed anywhere where they somehow know where you are at all times and clean your place.Noyon our villa attendant was such a kind man and so helpful and made sure our place looked perfect all the time. One evening we found a great spot for a sunset away from our bungalow and just sitting there I texted Rao and asked if we could have a bottle of champagne delivered to us on ice while we enjoyed it watching the sunset and it was magical! The whole trip was perfect. I can’t even tell you enough about the food because the food was five star the whole way. The choices were incredible. Even the breakfast was phenomenal. Everything about barrow is true ultimate luxury and honestly, we’ve been thinking about it from the moment we got back in mid December. We’re so grateful for everyone’s help to make it such a beautiful stay. The yoga classes are fantastic and the spa was one of the best I’ve ever been to. There were so many little special touches along the way it’s hard to explain them all, but one of our favourites was the manager’s reception on Monday night. We went to it and it was incredible the way that the people that work there know how to talk to all the guests and tell them all the little titbits about the island that we wouldn’t know otherwise. The little treats that are delivered to your room at night time are so lovely. The snorkelling is the best in the world. We can’t wait until we get back to Baros one day again
