At a glance
Baros Maldives is one of the original luxury resorts in the Maldives, welcoming guests since 1973 on a private island in North Male Atoll just 25 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport.
Designed specifically for couples, the island holds 75 beach and overwater villas and residences, each with a dedicated Villa Host providing around-the-clock personal service. The surrounding house reef is considered among the healthiest in the Maldives, and 30 dive sites including an ancient shipwreck are within 50 minutes by boat.
Three restaurants, Serenity Spa hidden within the island’s tree canopy, and an Eco Dive Centre with Fluo night diving give the resort the depth to justify its status as one of the most consistently awarded properties in the country.
A Piano Deck in the lagoon and private sandbank dining are among the destination dining options available exclusively to guests.
