Baros is located just 20 minutes by boat from the capital Malé in the Kaafu (North Male) Atoll, in the middle of a turquoise lagoon with a palm-lined powdered sugar beach, majestic palm trees, and lots of nature. It is the certain nonchalance, the special atmosphere, and the ambiance of the small, compact island that excites us here. In addition, there is the wonderful house reef, which more than impresses every snorkeler and offers a colorful spectacle of gently gliding schools of fish and reef sharks. With a bit of luck, you will meet Finny, a shark without a dorsal fin, which has found its sheltered home on the reef of Baros and some sea turtles.
Baros offers five extravagant suites with a big living area, a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub, and a wonderful outdoor rain shower. there is also an infinity pool with an integrated whirlpool, and an exclusive pavilion, equipped with a swinging daybed for a very special view over the Indian Ocean. Here you can enjoy the afternoon in the shade with a good book and a cool drink. Holidays for the eyes and all the senses. A private butler takes care of the well-being of the guests, reserves a table in the restaurant, makes spa appointments, organizes excursions or dinners on the beach, and takes care of fresh fruit and ice cream in the villa.
But not only sunbathers, divers, and snorkelers get their money's worth here. Here the guest can safely leave his shoes and everyday stress in the villa and dive barefoot into the warm sand for guaranteed relaxation. But that doesn't mean that you don't do anything all day long. There is a range of activities that will make the vacation unforgettable. In any case, you should pay a visit to the Serenity Spa and really let yourself be pampered. Whether hot stone, Thai or Balinese massage, the employees are true artists when it comes to physical well-being. The atmosphere in the spa alone ensures pure relaxation.
For romantics, the sunset cruise on a local Dohni is recommended, accompanied by champagne, canapés, and a breathtaking sunset. After a fascinating tour, you are back on the island in time for dinner.
The culinary experience on the island starts in the Sails Bar in the heart of the Palm Garden and the Cayenne Grill Restaurant with a teppanyaki grill right on the lagoon. The Lighthouse gourmet restaurant is an absolute must. With its first-class cuisine and excellent service, it offers the perfect setting for a romantic end to the day. The culinary experience in the "Lighthouse" is mouthwatering, accompanied by a view of a starry night sky. A drink on the first floor, the Lighthouse Lounge, and then a classic menu with lobster bisque or white onion velouté to start, followed by a yellowfin tuna filet Rossini with foie gras or a crispy duck breast with baby carrots and perhaps a fruit flambeé to finish. Like the lobster bisque, all is prepared at the table.
In the Lime Restaurant, you start the day with a rich breakfast buffet consisting of international specialties, fresh fruit, sausage and ham, freshly baked bread in all imaginable variations, egg dishes, cheese, pastries, croissants, and more. For lunch, Lime offers light meals, sandwiches, burgers, and fish, and in the evenings, guests are enchanted with Asian-influenced cuisine and of course sunset views.
Baros is also known and loved for its beautiful house reef and impressive dive sites. It is advisable to first discover the underwater world around the island together with marine biologists from the Marine Center and then maybe go on your own daily snorkeling adventures. This way, you can learn a lot about this difficult ecosystem and contribute to its preservation. Snorkeling here becomes the ultimate experience.
Deep sea and line fishing are exciting for young and old alike. From dolphin watching, windsurfing, and diving courses to guided snorkeling tours, especially at night, are unforgettable experiences that will make your vacation on Baros unforgettable.
