My husband and I recently enjoyed a five-night stay at Baros, and it was everything we had imagined. Thank you so much to our villa host, Shairu, for making sure everything was just right! The island itself is spectacular – pristine and teeming with wildlife (shark watching was our favorite pastime). The villas are lovely – we splurged on a water villa, and it was like having a private aquarium. We would look out over the infinity edge and watch the marine life go by (sharks, squid, dolphins, rays). And of course, the staff is excellent. We celebrated our anniversary with a vow renewal on the sandbar, and I can’t speak highly enough of Domi (the event coordinator), the photographer (Muha Photography), or the staff members who brought it all together. We also enjoyed several spa treatments during our stay, and the spa staff was wonderful as well. This was our first visit to the Maldives, but it definitely won’t be our last. People keep asking how the trip was, and I’m at a loss for words; it is exactly what you imagine it should be: pristine, quiet, peaceful, perfect.

Room tip: Spring for the pool villa!

How amazing to find that your anniversary and first visit to the Maldives turned out to be such a memorable and wonderful experience.

We are delighted that you enjoyed everything from the marine life around your water villa to the spa and your renewal of vows ceremony. This makes us truly happy and the personal recognition for several of our staff is lovely to read as well.

On behalf of all of us, it was a true pleasure to have the two of you staying here and we hope to see you again one day.

Warm regards,

As a carer going to Baros with a wheelchair user was incredible. The staff who we all found to be second to none were amazing. There was nothing we could not achieve. Dolphin sunset watch was brilliant after using a stretcher to be posted through a window to get on board well as I say the staff were amazing. Then we use the same stretcher to go into the sea they lift my client into the sea for her to experience the snorkelling not easy when your paralysed from shoulders down. Huge Thankyou and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

My husband and I, just came back from 1 week in Baros! It's our 4th time in Maldives and this resort is really outstanding.
1) Location: 20 minutes by boat which is a great advantage then spending 2 hours in the airport and flight an other hour minimum. If you have just one week.here you don't miss anything from the blue water and the outstanding Maldivian experience- Wonderful garden - very nice beach - snorkeling is great and easy to access. We were able to see sharks, tartules, stingrays and all kind of fishes, Spectacular.
2) Beach Villa n.113 : very nice, large and well designed. Bathroom with included garden ... white sand right in front and easy access to reef
3) Guests: mainly couples or families with teenagers so calm and relaxing style of environment. OUr last trip we experienced large group of tourists and we didn't like.
4) staff: I don't know where to start to say thank you! it was our 50th birthday and the staff made all possible to make us feel even more special then what you feel normally here in Baros. My Special thanks are for Mr. Mustafeez (Host Mgr), Mr. Shariu an incredible Villa Host, "Professor Ibrahim" , Mrs. Mulan and Mr.Mode at the Restaurant, Elisa and Shugar from the Marina Center.
5) Restaurant : a special mention for the Kitchen and Mr. Stefan the Chef ! one week here is a 5 star restaurant experiece. The half board offer includes dinner served at the table no buffets!
6) Must do: a Spa massage and a night snorkeling

Baros is simply exquisite. Calm, beautiful, great views, great food. Each villa has their own concierge who takes care of them through their entire stay - they are all really welcoming and very helpful. The spa is lovely, the reef is beautiful - I really have no words to describe how much we enjoyed our trip. I would go back every month if I could!

Room tip: Water Pool Villas are to enjoy breathtaking views while Beach Villas are to enjoy easy access to beach and activities

We stayed at Baros for a long weekend, it was a great relaxing trip at a beautiful island and resort. We got a water villa but unfortunately did not get our request for a sunset facing view. Our villa faced the boat lagoon, which wasn't as private as the other villas. It was disappointing but we got over it since the room, atmosphere, island, and food were all great. We tried two of the three restaurants on the island and room service, which were all expensive but high quality with good portions. The Lighthouse restaurant was fine dining with a quiet romantic atmosphere. We tried snorkeling at the island reef and did a morning yoga session. Overall it was a short but awesome vacation, resort and service were both excellent.

Room tip: For water villas, just blow the extra cash for the water pool villa since you will almost certainly get a better view and privacy

Dear Kuor2010,

Thank you for taking your time to write down this kind review for us.

It was unfortunate that we were not able to accommodate for a villa with a sunset view during this time, but glad that your experience with us became so lovely and memorable.

We are pleased to find that you were able to try both the snorkeling and the yoga during your short stay and on behalf of all of us here, we hope to be able to welcome you both back to Baros Maldives in the future.
