Just moments from shore, the Baros House Reef is a gateway to a fascinating underwater world. Guests can become acquainted with the resident marine life, swim with turtles and glide over coral gardens, guided by the in-house Marine Biologist. They can plunge into neon-colored waters during a night dive and discover countless outstanding underwater sites and natural wonders nearby. Beyond the reef, guests can enjoy dolphin watching or manta ray excursions, take off on traditional Maldivian fishing expeditions or sail into a golden sunset on a cruise of their design aboard Nooma, Baros’ traditional Maldivian dhoni, or sleek Serenity, the resort’s private yacht. From sunset toasts with bubbly and canapés, to elegant, entirely personalized moon-lit dinners, the Baros team’s signature attention to detail makes each moment truly memorable.

Destination dining is elevated to an art form at Baros’ secluded Piano Deck, a picture-perfect setting in the middle of the ocean with only the moon, the stars, lapping waves and world-class cuisine for company. Closer to home, signature restaurant The Lighthouse takes guests on a culinary journey of its own, with refined cuisine and endless ocean views. For those seeking to be immersed in local culture, Baros offers Maldivian cooking classes and local island-hopping excursions, and those looking for rest & relaxation can bask in the restorative calm of Serenity Spa. Since 1973, Baros has set the standard for Maldivian hospitality, paving the way for the tourism industry in the country. An award-winning resort and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of The World, it is celebrated for its authentic spirit, legendary service, outstanding comfort and understated elegance.
