Baros, Maldives

A well-established, high quality resort and a short speedboat ride from Male. Room quality, food and service are all commendable and it has a wonderful house reef beyond the sea breakers. The recently introduced Half Board Dinearound option includes one dinner per stay at the iconic, fine dining, Lighthouse Restaurant. It’s no surprise that the resort enjoys a high number of repeat guests and remains a favourite with the western European & UK markets..

Baros part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World,is a wonderful little hideaway located in North Male Atoll with lush vegetation and just 30 minutes speedboat trip from Male. This D-shaped island has great natural assets with a superb lagoon at one end for windsurfing, canoeing and swimming and a good house reef at the other for snorkellers and novice divers. Initially the outer seawall built all the way around this section of the island is a disappointment but after a while you tend to ignore it. Its purpose is to keep the excellent beach in place all year round.

Add the superb new villas and restaurants just built to these natural assets and you have a resort that is sure to be very popular with clients wanting a quiet, classy but affordable getaway.
