Baros Maldives

One of the oldest resorts in the Maldives, grown into a dense tropical garden, with a house reef that circles the whole island 25 minutes from the airport.

The property

Mature, small, adults-leaning

Baros opened in 1973 and the vegetation shows it — the island is genuinely wooded rather than landscaped, which is rare. It is small, quiet and skews adult, with no kids' club by design. The house reef runs the entire way around the island and is close enough to swim from the beach, which makes it one of the best snorkelling resorts this near to Malé. The Piano Deck, a sandbank platform for two, is the signature.

What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    A private beach

    The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.

  2. 02

    A full spa

    Treatments on the property — massage, sauna, spa, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.

  3. 03

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.
