WE have been to the Maldives over 30 times and have experienced nearly 20 islands. Initially we went with our children , now we travel as a couple . We now often visit two islands and usually finish on Baros as we know we will finish on a high. They know what we like and without asking now they try and cover all our requests. We like our holiday to run smoothly, we spend our days snorkelling on a house reef on the island with no boat transfer. and reading and want to finish with a good quality a la carte meal. Even though we have been to Baros nine times we still see different fish on their reef. It is a peaceful island and all the staff are very friendly and have a very good work ethos and work as a team. Elbo did a fantastic job keeping our room clean whilst we were at breakast/ evening meal ( something we like) and yet again Saeed helped make everything run smoothly. We ate at all three restaurants and had a variety of different foods (one of our favourites the lobster bisque at the Lighthouse restaurant). We are looking forward to returning in January with one of our daughters who goes out diving most days.

My husband and I have just come from Baros. The location was perfect, it took 20 minutes from the airport so no extra time to the final destination. Baros was quiet, peaceful, beautiful and friendly. All staff were very friendly, welcoming and making comfortable staying and especially our butler Ruvi, she arranged everything we need and always ready to help. Thanks, Ruvi! Snorkeling at Baros was incredible. We met all kinds of fish, sharks family ( with 3 babies), stingrays and turtles! We swam with a turtle quite for a while in front of our villa. Snorkeling safari was also unforgettable experience. We tried three different resataurants. All was good. Always they served fresh delicious dish. One of the best service of Baros is early check in and late check out with no charge. Whenever you are ready, they are ready. We already miss Baros in Maldives. Thanks to all members of Baros again.

We had such a lovely time at Baros. We honestly didn’t want to leave when our holiday came to an end. It’s been a long time since we’ve come back from a holiday feeling this relaxed and happy. We looked at quite a few resorts in the Maldives before deciding on Baros, as it’s not easy to choose when there are so many beautiful islands. We’re really glad we chose it because it was just what we wanted, the authentic Maldivian charm . We enjoyed the food, the drinks and our villa, which was always spotless. The housekeeping team came twice a day, which was great. We also loved the island itself. It has a lovely natural feel, and the reef was one of our favourite things about staying there. My partner isn’t a confident swimmer, so I wasn’t sure how much he would enjoy it, but we really didn’t need to worry. There was plenty to do, and we were just as happy staying on the island and relaxing. We never felt we had to plan something for every day. Sometimes it was nice just to take things as they came and enjoy being there. A big thank you to our butler, Salini, as well. She was wonderful during our stay and always so helpful. She seemed to remember all the little things and was there whenever we needed her. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and she made everything very easy for us. Thank you for looking after us so well, Salini. Hopefully, we’ll see you again when we come back! Overall, we have nothing but lovely memories of Baros. The island is beautiful, the reef is amazing, and everyone made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed our time there so much that we were already talking about coming back ...

My sister and I just got back from celebrating our birthdays at Baros Maldives and it was honestly the best trip we’ve ever had. The island is beautiful, but the staff are what really makes this place special. Our butler, Sujata( Suzy), was absolutely amazing. She was so helpful and accommodating with everything, and she really went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay. The manager was also fantastic and made our birthdays so incredibly memorable. They surprised us with a wonderful Maldivian dinner put beautiful decorations in our room, and treated us with the outmost respect and care. Every single person working here was so happy, polite, and genuinely helpful. You can tell they love what they do. Also, the food was incredible—every single meal we had was mouthwatering and so delicious. On top of that, the entire resort is kept spotlessly clean. Thank you so much to everyone at Baros for giving my sister and me memories we will keep forever!

We had excellent experience in staying Baros. The location is very convenient, 20 min away from airport, the resort is very elegant, quiet and beautiful. The island is surrounded by a beautiful house reef, we are doing snorkeling everyday. The food and service are excellent. We are really appreciative our Butler Suzy, who is very professional, warm and very considerate. We will come back again.
