Baros Maldives
The award-winning Baros Maldives is heralded as one of the most romantic resorts in the world, noted for its tranquility, lush vegetation, and pristine beaches, situated in a sparkling turquoise lagoon. The property's 75 luxury villas are available over seven categories, all of which are appointed with open-air bathrooms, outdoor rain showers, and private balconies, from which guests can enjoy either sunrise or sunset views. Many villas are overwater, though some are located on the island, while upgraded villas add private pools or gardens. Resort facilities include an infinity swimming pool, a gym (yoga sessions are complimentary), a spa, a dive center, and an on-site marine center with a resident marine biologist. For dining, guests can enjoy international dishes with a superb horizon view at The Lighthouse Restaurant, al fresco barbecue by the sea at Cayenne Grill, Asian plates at Lime Restaurant, or sundowners at Sails Bar or The Lighthouse Lounge. Destination dining is also available. The Baros Maldives Resort and Spa is a 25-minute boat ride from Malé's international airport.
Why We Love This Hotel
Location: The hotel is just a 25-minute boat ride from the airport, but once you arrive, you will feel as if you’re hundreds of miles away from the rest of the world.
History: When the first Baros Maldives was built in 1973, it was one of only three resorts on the islands. Baros created a luxurious atmosphere in the natural setting the islands are now known for.
Activities: A wide range of activities are available including watersports, yoga, and beach or sandbank dining.
