Travel Guide Baros

Baros is one of the first resort islands in the Maldives. Opened to tourists in 1973, it was initially an island for adventure divers. Today it is one of the most luxurious resorts in the Maldives. Ideally located only 20 minutes by yacht from Malé, the island is surrounded by a magnificent coral reef that will appeal to the most demanding of snorkelers. For scuba diving, the island is close to 30 beautiful natural sites. Baros is a tiny, semicircular island with abundant vegetation that provides complete privacy for its inhabitants. The thick palm roofs of the villas lining the beach around the island are barely visible. Baros also has a number of stilt villas, a true signature of the Maldivian hotel industry. The island is absolutely peaceful, with live music in the bar on certain nights. Among the many experiences within reach of your flip-flops, a dinner at the Lighthouse Restaurant is undoubtedly the highlight of a stay in Baros. Located at the end of a teak pontoon, the beautiful round room with a marquee inspired by traditional Maldivian architecture can be seen for miles. Seeing the white canvas of this gastronomic lighthouse from the yacht coming from Malé is the sign of a safe arrival. Dining here by candlelight and starlight is an unforgettable dining experience. Secret and intimate, Baros offers a range of activities for lovers seeking the ultimate romantic experience: a day alone on a sandbank with turquoise waters, virginal sand and whispering breezes; a gourmet cruise under the stars aboard a magnificent sailing dhoni; a renewal of vows on the Piano Deck, a teak deck shaped like a grand piano planted in the lagoon; divine treatments for couples at the magnificent spa... These are just a few suggestions that can only keep the flame of love alive. Luxurious and adventurous, Baros has also devised a series of private cruises or cruises with other residents to make the most of the atoll's beauty. Definitely romantic and serene, Baros is the perfect destination for honeymooners or couples madly in love, and the discreet staff ensure that no false notes disrupt the sentimental score of its residents.
