Baros

Overview

This secluded island resort of overwater and beachfront villas offers utter privacy and total immersion in the natural beauty of the Maldives.

This private island has everything the Maldives is famous for: powdery white sand, a crystal-clear lagoon stretching into the turquoise Indian Ocean and a verdant interior.

Accommodation: 74 Villas

Accommodation

Set on stilts over the lagoon and offering spectacular panoramic sea views, the Water Villas are built entirely of wood and feature coconut-thatch roofs. A spacious over water deck allows you to lounge in total privacy, while wooden stairs from the deck step directly into the crystal clear water.

Baros Villas, set on the white sand beach, boast expansive outdoor and indoor living areas - a spacious terrace with daybed, sitting area and a private sun deck to enjoy the tranquility of the island.

Standalone and thatched, the Deluxe Villas are cocooned in the lush island greenery. Facing the beach, each villa features a shaded veranda and open-air bathroom set in a private garden.

Restaurants & Bars

The three main restaurants - Lime Restaurant featuring interesting culinary experiences in an elegant but informal setting on the edge of the lagoon; the Lighthouse Restaurant, an amazing multi-tiered over water restaurant offering a stylish dining experience and an extensive wine cellar; and the Cayenne Grill for casual al fresco dining - are complemented by opportunities to dine in-villa or in a romantic setting elsewhere on the island.

Sails Bar is a perfect evening gathering point offering a wide selection of freshly squeezed tropical juices, cocktails, wines and beers, or the stylish Lounge Bar with panoramic views offers a selection of tropical Martini cocktails, and is the perfect place to indulge in a glass of fine champagne.

Recreation

Island activities includes PADI certified scuba diving, a wide range of water sports including snorkelling, plus there is also the opportunity to take a seaplane photo flight.

If you are searching for something further afield, excursions include snorkelling, sunset cruises, shopping on Male, island hopping, sunrise picnics, sunset fishing and big game fishing.

Spa

Original Sen Spa experiences cater to each guest's needs through intuition, imagination and expert touch. Select from a range of signature Sen Spa therapies and international treatments. For the most indulgent experience, book a personal Spa Suite.

The Spa Suites offer you an intimate space of your own to enjoy your chosen spa treatment, pre-treatment relaxation and post treatment unwinding.
