Baros Maldives

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in the Maldives at Baros. We selected Baros as we had 4 days and I am a vegetarian. We didn't want to spend time waiting for a speedboat on a short trip. My husband loves to snorkel and this reef is amazing! It was luxury at every step - a beautiful boat picking up you up from the airport with cold beverages to a dedicated concierge that ensured your trip was perfect. The resort went all out for this anniversary - they decorated a room every night with special touches to commemorate this occasion including the last night hosting a candle light dinner on the beach for just the two of us. The house reef is amazing - if you like snorkeling - you will see so much just steps from the resort. We went on the dolphin sunset cruise and that was amazing too. The beach is beautiful, clear water and soft sand. Sometimes we had the beach all to ourselves! Salini was our concierge and she got to know us so well. She made sure that we had the best time. From booking us reservations for food, the cruise to ensuring all of the meals in the villa were correct and served on time. I can honestly say she made sure we had the best anniversary trip and we connected with her. We will miss her! We had the water villa with a pool - this is a bucket list and I can not say how beautiful this was to wake up every morning with a view of the ocean. We loved having the pool plus the cabana right on the deck for morning swims. The beaches were quiet. The restaurants were amazing with lots of variety. The morning fruit - gosh we miss this. I would recommend doing snacks and wine at the LightHouse restaurant one night - best sunsets and apps! Baros has entertainment several nights of the week - we enjoyed the singing and dancing. I would highly recommend Baros as a smaller island where the staff will know you and care about ensuring your vacation is one that you will remember. We hope to come back soon!

We have just returned from our Maldives trip celebrating our anniversary. We visited three islands over three weeks, ending at Baros. We have visited the Maldives many times and have stayed at seventeen different resorts so far. It is definitely our special place in the world and yes we are addicted. Baros to us had a very special feel. From the moment we arrived after a short speedboat transfer, we felt at home. The island is extremely lush and very pretty. We asked for a room with a nice view and good beach area and we were not disappointed. Baros does not have wide beaches, but our villa was gorgeous just metres from the sea. The staff were all absolutely amazing, nothing was to much trouble and our meal at the lighthouse restaurant was made so special with the attentive staff making sure my dietary requirements were met. We can't remember the gentleman's name so sorry, but he was wonderful. The reef was full of all the usual subjects and we spent hours snorkelling. We have to say that Baros has provided us with the best food we have ever had in the Maldives, every meal was superb, and service impeccable. The island is rustic with a subtle luxury about it, we were on the half board dine around which we found excellent. The only thing we wish was, if they would include maybe a cocktail every night in the bar on this meal plan.or provide a drinks package. The bar was gorgeous, but nobody was in there because drinks are expensive and it was such a shame as the atmosphere was affected by this and we really enjoy having a drink in the bar prior to our meal or a sundowner. We predominantly always go all inclusive because of this and love not having the worry of an added bill at the end of our stay. Also we felt water and coffee after meals should also definitely be included when you upgrade to the half board dine around. Just a couple of tweaks. The villa was lovely and again maybe at turn down at night a mat and slippers by the bed would add a touch of luxury, little things we have had elsewhere that were not provided at Baros. But overall we absolutely loved our stay and would love to return. The feel of the island was definitely to our taste and even though not remote like others we have visited, it still had the amazing Maldives feel. We have fallen in love. Thank you Baros for making the last leg of our trip so special, please think about the cocktail/ drinks package it would make it perfect. You are doing an amazing job, hopefully see you all again soon.

A heartfelt thank you for creating such unforgettable memories and giving me the most beautiful experience! ❤️❤️❤️ From the very first moment of my stay, I felt truly welcomed and cared for. I would like to start with a very special thank you to Sujata, who made my experience even more memorable. She was always there whenever I needed help, available 24/7, and made me feel like I had someone I could always rely on. Sujata helped me with so many thoughtful details — from finding the perfect after-sun cream to sharing wonderful recommendations and giving me a lovely tour around the island. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine care made me feel truly special. Thank you, Sujata, for your incredible hospitality, your beautiful energy, and for making my stay so comfortable and unforgettable. 🤍 I am so happy that I chose this hotel, and I would sincerely recommend it to my friends and family. The service from the entire team was exceptional. They welcomed me right at the airport, helped with my luggage, and made the transfer to the hotel so smooth and comfortable. Even on my departure day, they kindly accompanied me all the way to my gate — such a thoughtful gesture that I truly appreciated. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. There are several wonderful restaurants to choose from, each with its own unique atmosphere and cuisine. The pool is stunning, the sea is crystal clear, and the coral reef is simply breathtaking. It truly feels like a little piece of paradise. 🌊✨ Thank you to the entire team for your kindness, professionalism, and for creating such magical memories. I am leaving with a heart full of gratitude and beautiful moments that I will always remember. I hope to return again soon. 🤍

Every staff member was incredibly friendly and always took the time to greet us. We are especially grateful for the hospitality of our personal butler, Saeed. Sea turtles can sometimes be seen around the island if you’re lucky. When I mentioned that we hadn’t been able to spot one during our stay, Saeed kindly called us on our last day to let us know that a turtle had been seen nearby and that we might be able to catch a glimpse if we came right away. It was such a thoughtful gesture and truly exceptional hospitality. The variety of food was excellent, and we enjoyed different dishes every day. The house reef was also stunning, and we loved being able to see sharks and beautiful tropical fish every day while snorkeling. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back again! ❤️
