Baros Maldives

Our time at Baros was dreamy and amazing. We have travelled to quite a few resorts around the world and this has been one of the best experiences we have had. The location, the resort, the employees, the food - everything was excellent. Sujata - our butler was the perfect host. Her positive and calm demeanour throughout the trip in turn made our trip positive and calm. She went above and beyond to make our anniversary special.

What amazing experience from the pick up at the airport to the time on the island. The location was close to Male and after a luxury speedboat journey we were greeting by numerous staff including our butler to welcome us to Baros. Our butler showed us the island and took us to our beach villa. She checked us in and from then afterwards looked after everything we needed. Aziza was excellent and professional. She booked our restaurants, activities and was there for anything we needed. We had the half board dine around package which suited us. The food at all venues we as great and the service with it. One slight hiccup over the water and wine at Lime one night was quickly rectified and our butler arranged for a bottle of wine in our room which I don’t think was a coincidence but it shows how much they focus on customer service. Our room was very nice with beach access and loungers to sunbath. We were also well situated in 202 to access the outside of the reef for snorkelling. We were particularly lucky to get 12 days of perfect weather and to all intent no rain bar one morning before breakfast. As we were there for our 20th Anniversary and my birthday both occasions were marked by half bottles of champagne courtesy of the hotel as well as a cake and an in villa breakfast. The lighthouse restaurant was particularly good as was Cayenne although Lime was also great. The lighthouse lounge bar was wonderful for cocktails and watching the sunset accompanied by delicious canapés. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive which added to Baros being a great luxury location and extremely relaxing from day 1. We certainly want to return one day.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Baros Maldives — a true escape from our busy, hectic world and a quiet, tranquil paradise. A special shout-out to our butler, Mika, who was always there to answer any questions and consistently followed up to make sure everything was perfect. The biggest highlight for us was how seamlessly Mika handled everything — from booking activities to making restaurant reservations and anticipating what we might need before we even asked. She made the entire process effortless. It’s a long journey for us from the United States, but we loved Baros so much that we’re already thinking about returning to this fantastic place.

We had a fantastic time on Baros; what a beautiful island with excellent service! The restaurants were all very good — we enjoyed delicious meals every day, and the friendly staff made it very pleasant.

Long story short, it's my first time to Maldives, and stayed at 3 resorts, and Baros is my favorite. There's a few points I love about Baros: The resort and facility is significantly more grand, luxurious, and more overall quiet than the other resorts, it's perfect for couples; Suzy, the butlers is so helpful and caring, she checked on us a few times everyday, help us arrange different kinds of booking and make sure we are happy with our stays. When she realize I accidentally got sunburnt when I fell asleep in my bench in my over water villa, she checked with their onsite doctor and offer me medicine, which I never have imagined. The house reefs in Boras is remarkable. I had great time snorkeling in Baros, I snorkel everyday and can't get enough of it. In just 10-15 minutes of snorkeling from our over water villa, I can get to see really nice reefs with a lot of fish, and I even get to see sharks, too bad I didn't see any turtle. I hope I get to see them next time when I go to Baros again. One other thing I like about Baros is we can get there with a speedboat. I think I still need some time to accept a 800USD per person seaplane ride. Restaurant is also great as well, but I think I am going to stop here. I hope my review will help you decide where to stay :) Oh, and the wifi is great, sim card is not necessary here.
