Baros Maldives

Baros Maldives, a luxurious five-star retreat in North Malé Atoll, is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, offering an adults-focused sanctuary with 75 sandstone and timber villas, one of the Maldives' first resorts since 1973, celebrated for its intimate charm and vibrant house reef.

Each palm-thatched villa blends elegant Maldivian design with modern comforts, featuring private sundecks or plunge pools with lagoon or beach views. Equipped with espresso machines, wine and minibars, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and spacious bathrooms with premium toiletries, some villas include spa baths for added indulgence. A dedicated Villa Host provides 24-hour personalized service, ensuring a seamless and refined escape.

Dining is a culinary odyssey across three venues. Lime Restaurant offers lavish lagoon-side dining with international flavours, Cayenne Grill serves seafood al fresco over the sea, and The Lighthouse delivers modern fine dining with Asian delicacies. Sails Bar crafts drinks under palm trees, while Lighthouse Lounge pairs cocktails and canapés with live music. Private dining options include romantic sandbank picnics or dinners on the Piano Deck. The Baros Serenity Spa, nestled in verdant foliage, offers rejuvenating massages, scrubs, facials, and yoga sessions on the beach or Lighthouse deck. The five-star PADI-certified EcoDive and Marine Centre provides snorkeling, night dives, and marine safaris to the vibrant house reef, with water sports like waterskiing, catamaran sailing, and wakeboarding. Curated excursions, such as dolphin cruises or Malé tours, enhance the adventure.

A 25-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, Baros Maldives offers seamless access to North Malé Atoll's dive sites, with manta ray sightings best in March, April, or September to November, crafting an unforgettable escape of barefoot luxury.
