Our Opinion
A much loved resort - many guests repeat their stay here; and for good reason.
Atmosphere: A beautiful island - natural beauty coupled with a sense of grandeur.
Rooms: The rooms are elegant and chic exhibiting quality workmanship. Every room is just a few feet away from the beach or lagoon and each has its own deck with daybed.
Dining: The Lighthouse Restaurant houses a classy lounge upstairs and a restaurant downstairs serving top class cuisine with Asian and Mediterranean influences. An extensive wine cellar also makes this particular restaurant really top class. The in-villa dining and more casual Lime Restaurant are also well know for their quality
Activities: The snorkelling here is good and the reef runs close to the island which is convenient. This is also the first resort in the Maldives to offer a Reef Check EcoDiver programme which focuses on knowledge of the reef and its preservation.

Nooma
With elegantly crafted curved prow, vast single sail (but with auxiliary engine), thatched roof (over a cabin of reassuring luxury) and sarong-clad crew of four, our new 19m long vessel - "Nooma" - is modelled on the traditional Maldivian sailing Dhoni. It's a Dhoni of desire for secret reef snorkelling, sunset sailing, a romantic dinner for two, overnight at a deserted island, or even for a leisurely cruise from the airport to Baros.
With gourmet meals served on board by your personal butler, secluded sun deck for two in the bow, and a private saloon lounge, toilet, shower, and air-conditioned double bedroom, this is the Dhoni for the ultimate intimate cruise. And it can be yours when you stay at Baros.
There is more to the Maldives than Baros, and the island staff can help you discover the essence of the islands with excursions that can be arranged on request by the friendly and ever helpful Guest Services Representatives.
