BAROS MALDIVES
OVERVIEW
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. We’ve been welcoming guests since 1973, and have spent decades honing our services and cultivating our environment, crafting what we believe is a legendary resort. Today, we’re one of the most loved Maldives resorts, and we’re excited to show you what makes us so special.
AT A GLANCE
Life at Baros has always been a fulfilment of harmony. Our collection of handcrafted beachfront and overwater villas are built from timber and sandstone, a perfect match for our naturally beautiful surroundings. To help preserve our island, we’ve worked to protect the environment, from the house reef fringing the island to its lush, jungle heart. To ensure the privacy of our guests, we have prohibited the use of drones on the island.
