Baros Island Resort Maldives

Deluxe Villas

Set in flower glades by the beach, the Deluxe Villas have been created with flawless style exuding sheer sophistication. With veranda, each spacious, teak-floored bedroom features a large sofa and a kingsize bed. The bathroom with stand-alone tub extends into a sandstone-walled flower garden refreshed by a waterfall shower.

Water Villas

By a crescent shaped boardwalk curving over the lagoon, a minute from the beach, each Baros Water Villa is intimately exclusive, with private deck for sunbathing and wooden steps for dipping into the lagoon. These Villas inspire romance, exquisitely furnished with a kingsize bed draped in silk and cotton, a sumptuous bathroom poised over the lagoon, and an enviable ambience of the sublime.

Baros Villas

Beside the bliss of the sun-blessed beach, each Baros Villa is discreetly secluded by tropical vegetation, with a wooden deck for lounging just a pace or two from the lagoon. The ingeniously designed interior has a kingsize bed embraced by curtains, louvered blinds on either side to let in sunlight, an exotic bathroom with a contemporary tub, and a rain shower in a secret garden.

Hotel & Recreational Facilities

Reward yourself with the lavish attention of the caring therapists at Aquum Baros Maldives. Our Spa Suites are an intimate space of your own to enjoy spa treatment, pre-treatment relaxation and post-treatment unwinding. A cornucopia of blissful rituals devised for your desires with intuition, imagination and expert touch.

Activities

• Snorkelling
  Snorkelling is a leisurely experience at Baros where the lagoon teems with fish and the house reef is a mere 30m from the shore. Float gently over a natural underwater paradise gazing at a kaleidoscopic carnival of marine life.
  

• Diving
  Begin with Discover Scuba Diving, an introductory dive in the lagoon with one of our professional diving instructors. Progress to the PADI Scuba Diving Programme and upgrade to Open Water Diver certification, enabling you to dive anywhere in the world. Baros Maldives is the gateway to 30 superlative dive sites, yielding a biodiversity of marine life to thrill even the most experienced diver.
  

• Marine Center
  The resident Marine Biologist provides useful information on the oceanographic world, guides for snorkeling trips and excursions on the house reef (for beginners or for experienced snorkelers). The Marine Centre is a place to share your adventure!
  

• Nooma
  With elegantly crafted curved prow, vast single sail (but with auxiliary engine), thatched roof (over a cabin of reassuring luxury) and sarong-clad crew of four, our new 19m long vessel - "Nooma" - is modelled on the traditional Maldivian sailing Dhoni. It's a Dhoni of desire for secret reef snorkelling, sunset sailing, a romantic dinner for two, overnight at a deserted island, or even for a leisurely cruise from the airport to Baros. With gourmet meals served on board by your personal butler, secluded sun deck for two in the bow, and a private saloon lounge, toilet, shower, and air-conditioned double bedroom, this is the Dhoni for the ultimate intimate cruise. And it can be yours when you stay at Baros.
