Most Romantic Resort in the World: Private Villas by a Turquoise Lagoon

Award-Winning Island Location

Baros Maldives is a small island in a turquoise lagoon, accessible by a 25-minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport. The resort has been named the "Most Romantic Resort in the World" for eight consecutive years by the World Travel Awards. It also holds the Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards 2024 recognition.

Private Villa Accommodations

Villas are constructed from sandstone and timber with palm-thatched roofs, set in palm-shaded glades on the beach or perched over water. Many villas include a plunge pool, a spa bath, an espresso machine, and a wine and mini-bar. Every villa has an open-air bathroom and a private outdoor shower, with in-villa entertainment including a flat-screen TV and iPod dock.

Culinary Experiences

Three restaurants on the island serve fine dining, fresh seafood, and Asian delicacies. Private dining is arranged in-villa, on an isolated sandbank, or on a floating deck over the lagoon. A sea-view evening cocktail and cigar lounge is paired with the Sails Bar, which offers all-day drinks under the palms.

Wellness and Activities

The resort houses a world-class wellness spa and offers complimentary daily sunrise yoga sessions. Guests have access to one of the healthiest house reefs in the Maldives, guided by an on-site Eco Dive Centre that provides personalized diving and Fluo night diving experiences. An overwater infinity pool and exclusive yacht charters are available for guests.

Personalized Service
