Baros Maldives

Our stay at Baros was truly one of the most beautiful holidays we have ever experienced. We felt the genuine warmth and refined hospitality that defines this island. Everything was handled with professionalism, promptness, and heartfelt care. The turquoise waters were simply breathtaking. We went snorkeling every single day and discovered an incredible underwater world. It was an unforgettable experience not only for us, but also for our children, who were absolutely delighted. We recommend this island to anyone looking for serenity, beauty, and impeccable service. Thank you for the memories. We will carry them with us for a long time.

Baros Maldives is simply out of this world. The rooms are stunning, the views breathtaking, the food delicious, and the staff made us feel like royalty from start to finish. One of those rare places where everything is just perfect — we didn't want to leave!

I visited Baros for my birthday celebration, but it wasn’t my first time in the Maldives. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a great experience. 1) We stayed in a water villa, and it was unpleasant having to walk every time. There were no buggies or bicycles, and it can be very uncomfortable and hot when the sun was high. It’s walkable, but there’s still some distance. 2) During our scuba diving course, the male instructor touched and squeezed my waist while I was getting fitted for my wetsuit. It was completely unnecessary and made me feel uncomfortable. If the wetsuit was too big or tight, I could tell him, he don’t have to touch me. 3) The villas were very close together, which meant we didn’t have much privacy. If you’ve been to other resorts in the Maldives, you’ll understand what I mean. 4) During dinner at the Lighthouse restaurant, one of the Indian waiters rolled his eyes at me while offering me bread. 5) The porridge I had for breakfast (picture 1) at Lime restaurant was completely different from what I had seen in other posts. It was basically water with a few pieces of rice. I’m not expecting the food to be amazing, but at least have some quality control. Overall, I don’t think Baros serve a 5-star hotel standard. The only pros are the house reef, which has a lot of fish and is bigger to explore, and the convenience of not having to take a sea plane.

Our personal concierge Sujata’s service, attentiveness, and attitude was perfect. She was a joy to meet. Our villa attendant Ziyaan was excellent. Whatever we needed was supplied and the villa was spotless after each time Ziyaan was there. The buffet breakfast was amazing…so many choices on the menu and in the buffet area. Thank you to the entire Baros team!

We stayed 5 days at Baros and had a great time. We got the half board plan in a water villa. Shinta, our personal concierge was amazing! Our housekeeping associate Aravind was also great!Breakfast was superb and the water is beautiful. The gym was also really good. We really enjoyed our time!

My husband and I spent 8 lovely days in an over-water villa at Baros island. Only 20 minutes by boat from Male allowed us to maximize our holiday time. |The food was excellent. Lime restaurant offered a wonderful buffet breakfast everyday. For dinner we also enjoyed the a la carte options at Lime. We celebrated with one special meal at the Lighthouse. It was delicious as well. We didn’t eat at the buffet dinners offered because we were trying to limit what we ate but they looked very good as well. Wonderful drinks were available at Sails and the Lighthouse Lounge.|We also happily enjoyed using the spa a number of times during our visit. My husband enjoyed his massages and I enjoyed the facial and body wraps. |The sea life around the island was amazing. No need to take a boat elsewhere. We saw eagle rays, sting rays, reef and nurse sharks and numerous species of reef fish - just from the deck of our villa. Snorkeling was even better.|When not snorkeling, you can relax in the beautiful Palm Garden or infinity pool. So nice.|Last but absolutely not least, I need to recommend the staff. From the staff who made up our room twice daily, the wait staff who served us with smiles, the talented spa staff and the great bartenders - they were excellent, friendly and welcoming. I would like to specifically mention Ijaz our personal butler who made sure our stay was flawless, Kiara a wonderful food server and Maria and Lama our great bartenders.|I can highly recommend Baros Island for tour stay in the Maldives.

Tremendous resort! My wife and I went with 4 other couples to celebrate a birthday., We stayed on the villas over the water. The island, facilities and rooms were exceptionally well maintained.||The island (atoll) is very small and intimate. The paths throughout the island are tree covered and magical.||There are three restaurants on the island that offer good food.||The service on the island is incredible! The staff wait on you hand and foot. Ijaz our butler was awesome!||If you love snorkeling I haven’t seen any better with a myriad of colorful fish, rays, and sharks!

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.
