Turquoise waters lap at white-sand shores. Towering palms rustle overhead. Welcome to Baros, a natural paradise with a lush island canopy, just 25 minutes by speedboat from the Maldives' international airport. The hotel welcoming guests since 1973, and have spent decades honing services and cultivating environment, crafting what it is believed to be a legendary resort. Today, it is one of the most loved Maldives resorts, and we're excited to show you what makes us so special.

We enjoyed our 7th stay at Baros, still 50 stays short of the record-holding couple. Being one of the first resorts to open in the Maldives over 50 years ago, service and attitude has evolved to near perfection. It is by far our favourite destination in the Maldives. Just a short boat ride from Male, the island is truly amazing. The housereef is unparalleled with an enormous variety of small and bigger fish. Having enjoyed both the over water villa's and the landvilla's our last stays we have preferred the suite on land.... just a few steps in the sand to walk into the lagoon.... enjoy the corals.... heaven on earth. Off course the Spa and the fine dining cannot go unnoticed: great meals and fine treatments are readily available As all the great staff making us feel at home: special thanks to Shimla, Abdullah, Ali Rasheed, Keeth, Hardy, Ruvi, Naseem, Ushan, Tender, Dhona, Badur, Rifuath, Niyaaz . . . . and the many many many others that made our stay unforgettable. On returning home one of the first things we did was making arrangements for our next trip . . . . what more can I say.

"This was exactly what I needed for a complete reset! The hotel is a true place of power where time slows down. Lush greenery surrounds you everywhere, literally enveloping you in comfort and calm. The silence, broken only by the sound of the ocean, and morning yoga — pure bliss. A huge thank you to the team who made this holiday magical: ✨ Master Jit — for his golden hands and the atmosphere of harmony (and for the wonderful massage/practices, if that applies). ✨ Manager Mishi — for his attentiveness, efficiency, and for handling every request. With him, you feel you're in safe hands. ✨ Zona — for her warmth, her smile, and that special care that creates a true sense of home. And the house reef is simply magical! So many fish — we could have spent hours just snorkeling and watching this underwater world. It felt like having our own private aquarium right at our doorstep. I didn't want to leave at all. We will definitely be back!"

We had a wonderful stay at Baros and were very satisfied with everything during our visit. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained, with excellent service throughout. A special thank you to Bonan, our Villa Host, who looked after us with great warmth and professionalism, and to Aravind, our villa attendant, who kept our villa spotless and comfortable every day. Their attentiveness made our stay even more relaxing and memorable. For guests who love the ocean and marine life, Baros is also a wonderful place. The snorkeling around the resort is excellent, and we were able to see sea turtles, stingrays, and sharks just around the island. As we had just finished a liveaboard diving trip, we did not try the resort’s scuba diving activities, but even from our experience borrowing a kayak, we felt that the water sports team was professional and safety-conscious. Overall, Baros gave us a truly relaxing and memorable experience. We sincerely appreciated the warm hospitality and would be happy to recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality resort stay in the Maldives.

My younger sister and I stayed at Baros Maldives from 28 to 31 August 2026 for four days and three nights. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Baros Maldives, especially Suzy, our wonderful butler, for taking such great care of us and making us feel completely at home throughout our stay. Every member of the team was incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help. They took care of every detail and made everything feel so smooth and effortless, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. We felt comfortable, peaceful, and surrounded by so much positive energy throughout our stay. Baros Maldives is not only a beautiful place, but it is also filled with genuinely warm and caring people. We are writing this review to express our appreciation and to encourage the management and every member of the team. Thank you for your dedication and for creating such a wonderful and memorable experience for us. We truly hope to return again one day. ❤️
