The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Culinary Experience

The food at Baros is absolutely very nice, especially at the Lighthouse restaurant. I was amazed by the variety and quality; each dish was a masterpiece. The seafood and curry options were particularly excellent. Dining at the Piano Deck for sunset was truly magical, with the chefs creating personalized menus that catered to our tastes. I've never had so much fresh fish and lobster!

Heavenly Spa Experience

I indulged in the most relaxing treatments at the spa. Siti gave the best jetlag massage I've ever experienced. The facilities are beautifully designed, and the outdoor showers add a serene touch. Every visit had me leaving completely rejuvenated, making it a key part of my stay.

Stunning Water Villa

We opted for a water villa, and it was simply amazing. The room featured direct access to the crystal-clear sea, a large bathroom, and modern amenities. Waking up to the view of the lagoon from our bed was an lovely experience. The private deck was perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the sunset.

Fantastic Snorkeling Experience

The snorkeling here is amazing! Just steps from my villa, I encountered an array of marine life, including turtles and reef sharks. The Coral reef was vibrant, and the staff at the Marine Center provided great tips for exploring. I even did a night snorkeling trip that was beyond magical!

My stay at the resort was truly unforgettable. The views were breathtaking, and the snorkeling was like diving into a living aquarium. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. However, the cost of dining was pretty high, so it's worth considering options like half-board to manage expenses better.

I had a truly unforgettable experience at Baros Maldives, a beautiful resort that offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The rooms were spacious but could use a little renovation, and while the service was excellent, the noise from neighboring villas could be an issue. The dining was mostly exceptional, particularly at the Cayenne Grill, though I found one dish disappointing. Overall, the location and facilities made it a wonderful getaway, and I left excited to return.
