Sometimes the original is the best and that definitely rings true at Baros, one of the first island resorts to open in the Maldives, and still one of the highest rated. Leading the way in luxury, Baros is everything you expect in a classic Maldivian holiday with its towering palms, perfect beaches and stunning coral reef.

After a short speedboat ride from the airport to the North Malé atoll you will arrive at Baros, an intimate and calm island with just 75 villas. Whether you choose to stay on the jungle shoreline with a private garden or perched over the lagoon in a water villa, the timber and sandstone villas are respectful to the natural beauty of the island and offer absolute comfort for guests, with a whole host of indulgent features. The Premium Pool Villas offer both private infiinity plunge pool and a jacuzzi. For those seeking the ultimate in luxury, the Baros Residence is completely private, with it's own large stretch of beach and a 24-hour butler on hand.

There are three restaurants, two bars plus the option to arrange dining on a sandbank, a private deck floating in the lagoon, or anywhere on the picture perfect island. The Lighthouse restaurant is something very special, with it's striking sail design and uninterrupted views. At the Sails bar, you can enjoy a cocktail with your feet in the sand.

Also on the island is a Marine Centre, water sports centre, PADI Dive centre, spa service and incredible over-water infinity pool.
