Baros Maldives

Baros Maldives is one of the best value luxury boutique resorts in the Maldives, a tiny speck of an island amidst a shallow lagoon fringed by a fantastic house reef, with some of the best snorkelling and diving in the Madives.

Baros is only 20-minutes by speedboat from Male, in the north Male Atoll and offers 75 spacious thatch-roofed villas with huge bathrooms and elegant interiors – some of the best luxury villas in the Maldives.

Baros has 45 beachside and 30 Over Water Villas, each constructed with sandstone and timber, elegantly furnished and offering lots of natural light through large windows.

Private sundecks add to the indoor-outdoor living and all offer direct access to the lagoon.

Facilities at Baros include a luxury spa, swimming pool and of course plenty of water sports, including snorkelling and over 30 excellent dive spots nearby, many of which are exclusive to Baros. Manta Ray sightings are almost guaranteed.

Baros has a Marine Centre with resident marine biologist and Baros was one of the first resorts in the Maldives to take reef conservation seriously.

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse Restaurant is the hallmark of Baros Maldives, an overwater pavilion with a white sail pinnacle roof that serves as an iconic beacon visible long before the island comes into view. It has been acclaimed as one of the best restaurants in the Maldives.

For guests it is a truly unique experience to sit on The Lighthouse Deck above the Indian Ocean while rays and fishes swim below, enjoying the sublime, classical tropical ambience while sampling some beautiful food. At The Lighthouse, every meal is one to remember.

The Cayenne

With palm thatched gazebos for dining above the lagoon, The Cayenne is the place for a light lunch from a wood-fired pizza oven as well as salads, wraps, paninis, and for combination platters of grills of the world: Teppanyaki and Tandoori. There is even a dedicated Satay Bar open during the day.

The Cayenne features the best steaks from all over the world as well as fish freshly caught by local fishermen, all cooked to perfection by master chefs in the open kitchen.

Lime

Located right by the lagoon, the contemporarily styled Lime Restaurant offers Asian influenced cuisine served to guests relaxing at tables on a spacious deck above the waves.

Lime is open for a superb buffet breakfast with action stations and sparkling wine, and for salads, snacks, tea, lunch, dinner and family favourites throughout the day.

Dive Centre

Baros is an excellent choice for a Maldives Diving Resort. Divers Baros Maldives has been operating in the Maldives since 1979 and the Dive Centre at Baros Maldives was one of the first Dive Centres in the Maldives.

Dive Baros is a PADI five-star Gold Palm Dive Centre with an experienced international team focusing on services and diving in small groups with personal attention.

Baros Maldives stands for environmental awareness and the Dive Centre in close cooperation with the Marine Centre, is dedicated to preserving reefs.

Divers Baros Maldives has officially been certified as the first resort Eco Dive Centre in the Maldives, offering the International Reef Check for all Baros Maldives guests.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to the Maldives.

Typically for the Maldives we will use British Airways for direct flights to the Maldives between November and March.

Sri Lankan Airlines is also a great option for flights to the Maldives, especially of course if combining the Maldives with a Sri Lanka tour.

The flying time for direct flights is around 10 hours, making the Maldives a little shorter flying time than going to South East Asia.

We also commonly use Emirates via Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha and Etihad via Abu Dhabi. These all allow stopover options in the Arabian Gulf to create a multi-centre holiday.

Regional connections from across the UK are available.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of resorts in the Maldives, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique & luxury hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller luxury hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We understand that choosing a resort in the Maldives can be a bit bewildering, especially as they all look so similar!

That's where our expertise can help - it's always useful to speak to someone who's been to lots of different islands in the Maldives.

Do I need a visa for the Maldives?

If you're travelling on British Passports, no visa is required for stays of up to a month.

Please double check before travel however as visa requirements are subject to change at any time.
