Baros Maldives is a small exclusive coral island in the Indian Ocean ringed by a sun-kissed beach and a vibrant house-reef, just 20 minutes by speedboat from Maldives International Airport. It is a multi award-winning boutique luxury resort with a long history of outstanding service excellence.

(TRAVPR.COM) MALDIVES - May 30th, 2013 - Baros Maldives, the small private island resort in the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Maldives, celebrates 40 years of success in December 2013.

The resort was one of the pioneers in attracting tourists to the Maldives when it opened as a simple thatch hut and coconut palm castaway island in 1973. Since then it has continued to be an award-winning resort of elegance and service excellence, being recently acclaimed as the World’s Most Romantic Resort (by World Travel Awards), the 8th Top Hotel in the World (Trip Advisor) as well as the Number 1 Hotel in the Maldives (Trip Advisor).

A family owned resort, Baros Maldives has always focused on offering guests a genuine Maldivian experience where guests are known by name, not villa number, coupled with the latest innovations for guests’ comfort. The first desalination in the Maldives was set up at Baros to provide guests with constant fresh water, and Baros was the second island to build overwater bungalows for guests.

To keep up with changes in guest expectations, in 2005, after 22 years of gradual development, Baros Maldives was completely re-built with 75 sandstone & timber villas to re-open as a boutique luxury resort and a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH). With three gourmet class restaurants – and beach, sandbank or sailboat dining by request – two bars, a Spa, a gym and top class diving and marine centres, Baros Maldives retains the true touch of the Maldives in warm hospitality and personal attention to guest’s requirements.

Baros Maldives is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year by being better than ever before, providing guests with a unique and memorable pure Maldivian holiday at one of the best resorts in the world.
