An idyllic retreat for newlyweds, Baros is a private coral island fringed with palm trees, hibiscus and bougainvillaea and a powder-white beach that shelves gently into the blue lagoon.
Unwind on the beach, go swimming in the sparkling turquoise waters, be pampered in the spa or take a relaxing cruise on a traditional sailing dhoni.
The waters around Baros are perfect for scuba diving, with a choice of more than 30 world-class dive spots nearby, including Manta Point, where you can dive down to a 18m-deep ledge and get within touching distance of up to a dozen giant manta rays, some up to 3m across. The best season to see the rays is June to November.
Or snorkel the island's easy-to-reach offshore reefs – the resort offers day and night snorkelling safaris guided by the resident marine biologist.
The island's only resort, the exclusing Baros Maldives, is a multi award-winning boutique luxury resort with a long history of outstanding service excellence.
Choose from three restaurants and relax in spacious, airy accommodation: Baros offers a choice of luxury beach and water villas many with private pools, all set in lush vegetation. Baros also boasts a PADI five-star Gold Palm Dive Centre.
