Baros Maldives has been named Indian Ocean’s Leading Water Villa Resort 2025 at the prestigious World Travel Awards, testament to the resort’s unwavering commitment to creating heartfelt, intimate experiences that feel unmistakably Baros. Tucked away in North Malé Atoll, the Baros Water Villas embody effortless luxury and privacy. Thoughtfully designed, each villa offers direct access to the turquoise lagoon, with serene, sun-soaked decks perfect for quiet reflection, and, in select villas, private pools that stretch towards endless ocean views. Every detail is meticulously curated to foster connection — to nature, to oneself and to the timeless spirit of Baros.
Just steps beyond, the legendary house reef awaits. Alive with vibrant marine life and coral gardens, it invites moments of discovery and wonder - whether it’s a quiet morning swim among colourful reef fish or a magical sunset snorkel alongside graceful turtles. Since welcoming its first guests over 50 years ago, Baros has remained proudly Maldivian-owned, a sanctuary of authentic warmth and refined elegance. With just 75 villas, dedicated service from familiar faces, island-inspired dining and experiences shaped around each guest, every stay feels deeply personal.
“Our heartfelt thanks go to our guests, partners and the entire Baros team for their support in helping us win this award,” says Ibrahim Shijah, General Manager of Baros Maldives. “The World Travel Awards is a prestigious industry platform; this recognition is a great honour and a wonderful reminder that the spirit of Baros continues to resonate with those who return to our shores time and time again.” For more information or to book your stay, please contact our reservations team on reservations@baros.com or call +960 664 26 72.
