In today’s fast-paced world, there’s a growing desire to step away from the chaos of every-day life, put ourselves first and prioritise wellbeing. Escaping to a picturesque island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and reconnecting with nature, is certainly one way to do this.
Baros Maldives is the perfect sanctuary for those seeking to rejuvenate amidst pristine, powder-white sands, lush jungle canopies and the brilliant blue of a glittering lagoon. The warm soul of Baros welcomes guests with gentle, unobtrusive, yet exemplary hospitality and an authentic, caring and restful embrace. Stepping onto the enchanting jetty, one is cocooned in the beauty of another world, caressed by island breezes and the gentle fragrance of frangipani.
Nourish
Nestled within the lushness of the Baros grounds are three exemplary culinary outlets: Lime, Cayenne Grill and The Lighthouse Restaurant. Helmed by exceptional chefs, each has its own specialised menu featuring an array of sustainably sourced, local ingredients, and the freshest in produce. With inspiring menus offering authentic Maldivian dishes and a diverse range of vegan and vegetarian options, every dining experience at Baros is more than a meal; it is an extraordinary celebration of taste.
Soothe
Life on Baros is poetic, soothing and intriguing, calling for both gentle introspection and adventurous exploration. Down a maze of meandering paths, at the heart of the island is Serenity Spa. Here, expert therapists take guests on a journey of relaxation. The Serenity Healing experience begins with a 45-minute immersive water therapy session in the Baros lagoon, followed by a 90-minute tranquil massage incorporating natural ingredients sourced from the island’s very own botanical garden. Guests can also reflect with a bespoke candle meditation or Trataka session, enveloped by the soothing sounds of nature.
Re-connect
Once a coconut plantation, Baros’ original palms tower majestically overhead; beneath the majestic, green canopy lies the island’s lush and remarkably diverse Botanical Garden. Guests can fully immerse themselves in nature, strolling along idyllic pathways and exploring the indigenous flora. Scan the QR codes placed alongside the plants to learn about their medicinal properties and cultural significance, or join a guided island walk led by Baros’s knowledgeable staff. The experience is grounding and interactive, all of the senses brought to life.
Beneath the turquoise waters of the Baros lagoon, lies the world-class Baros house reef, home to turtles, harmless reef sharks and an exotic array of fish. Exceptional diving and snorkelling opportunities await steps from your private villa. Led by the resident marine biologist, the Marine Centre team provides expert insights into the local marine life and ecosystem.
As you soak in the tranquility of this island haven, reconnect with yourself, each other and nature. Surrender to the sounds of paradise and let serenity wash over you.
Leave restored
Baros evokes a sense of wellbeing and peace. Although the resort has a round-the-clock gym, and offers guided yoga, meditation and mindfulness sessions, as well as a plethora of fresh, sustainable and nourishing foods, it is the natural surroundings that serve as the true “balm”. Whether resting with a book under the dappled light of swaying palms, enjoying a treatment at the Spa, gliding effortlessly in the turquoise lagoon, or dining under the stars, Baros restores mind, body and soul.
