The birth of Baros Resort
Baros held a significant place in the history of the Maldives and was one of the first tourist resorts in the Maldives. Situated in the North Males Atoll, the island was known for its abundant natural resources, including coconut palms and thriving marine life, which sustained the local communities for generations. The Maldivian people cherished the pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters as precious treasures, reflecting the harmony between humans and nature.
In the 1970s, Baros began to attract the attention of visionary individuals who recognised its potential as a luxury tourism destination. Sensing the island’s unique allure and unspoiled beauty, they transformed it into a world-class resort that would captivate the hearts of travellers seeking an exclusive escape. With meticulous attention to preserving the island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, the founders embarked on a journey to create a sanctuary of luxury and tranquillity where guests could immerse themselves in the wonders of the Maldives.
The resort’s development was guided by a commitment to sustainable practices, ensuring minimal impact on the island’s delicate ecosystem. Carefully designed villas were seamlessly integrated into the lush surroundings, blending traditional Maldivian architecture with modern comforts and elegance.

Five reasons to choose Baros Resort in the Maldives
- Personalised service: Upon our arrival at Male airport, the Baros team welcomed us with bottled water and refreshing cold towels. We were then taken on a luxurious 25-minute boat ride to the resort, which was covered and accommodated 20 people, including us and two other couples. Despite the overcast weather, we enjoyed the ride. Once we arrived at the island, we were impressed by the dedicated butler service provided by Baros Resort for each villa. These attentive and discreet butlers ensured that every aspect of our stay was well cared for, including in-room check-in with champagne. Whenever they saw us on the island, they came to check up on us, and we could also contact them via WhatsApp to arrange anything we needed, such as romantic dinners under the stars, meditation sessions with private instructors, or exciting water activities like snorkelling or diving expeditions. The personalised attention provided by the butlers elevated our overall experience, making us feel pampered and valued.
- Baros Resort is a luxurious hideaway: Nestled in the heart of the Maldives, Baros Resort is a haven that redefines luxury. We were greeted with warm smiles and a refreshing welcome drink from the moment we arrived, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay. The resort’s commitment to impeccable service and attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the experience and exceeded expectations.
- Exquisite villa accommodation at Baros Resort: Each villa at Baros Resort is a private sanctuary designed with couples in mind. The tastefully decorated interiors exude elegance and comfort, blending modern luxury and traditional Maldivian charm perfectly. The villas offer direct access to the turquoise lagoon or the pristine white sandy beach, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Maldives. We had booked an overwater villa for our stay. These villas are separated from the island by a walkway and extend into the warm ocean, with direct access to the water. But visiting in June, the rainy monsoon season, meant the villa was hit hard by the winds, with large waves beneath us not allowing us to take full advantage of what the villa offered. After one evening, we asked to be moved to a beach villa on the other side of the island, which is more protected from the wind.
- Unparalleled privacy offered by Baros Resort for couples. The beach villa at Baros Resort was a true sanctuary of elegance and comfort. The spaciousness and tasteful design created a soothing ambience, while the breathtaking views of the turquoise water were a constant reminder of the paradise that surrounded us. The amenities, including a private sundeck with private beach access, allowed us to bask in the Maldivian sun in complete seclusion. At Baros Resort, privacy is of utmost importance. Couples can enjoy the peace of their secluded sanctuary surrounded by lush tropical foliage and breathtaking ocean views. Whether they prefer to relax on their private sundeck, dip in their personal plunge pool, or stroll along the secluded beach, couples can savour their precious moments together without interruptions.
- World-class dining and culinary delights: Baros Resort boasts an exceptional culinary journey where every meal celebrates flavours. The Lighthouse is the resort’s renowned fine-dining restaurant. The tantalising creations, expertly prepared by the talented chefs, were perfectly complemented by the breathtaking views of the ocean, allowing diners to immerse themselves in a gastronomic adventure like no other. The resort boasts a range of dining options that cater to every palate. From romantic candlelit dinners on the beach to exquisite gastronomic journeys at their fine dining restaurants, Baros Resort offers a culinary experience that is second to none.
