Baros Maldives - The award-winning resort, Baros Maldives, offers understated elegance with a sense of authenticity, style and local culture. The resort has only 75 villas nestled on a lush, tropical island set in the shimmering waters of a shallow lagoon, ringed by a reef vibrant with colours, fish, turtles, rays and corals.

With its vivid blue lagoons; glittering sun-soaked, sandy beaches; exotic flowers blooming beside natural sand trails shaded by 50-year old palm trees, the island is designed by nature for a divine vacation.

A member of The Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Baros Maldives is only 25 minutes by speedboat from Male International Airport.

All the villas are stylishly created with sandstone and timber, have fine furnishings, large windows to let in natural light, and are timeless in ambiance.

The ultimate in secluded privacy is The Baros Residence, surrounded by green foliage and bird-of-paradise blossoms, guaranteeing an intimate place to stay. Its bedroom with decor of tropical timbers and bas-relief, features a linen-canopied bed and an extravagant bathroom en suite. A day bed on the sun deck and sun loungers overlook the villa's swimming pool in a secret, walled tropical garden. Private, in-villa spa massages are available and a butler is on call to assure warm and willing service.
