The Maldives. It’s the ultimate honeymoon destination for good reason, renowned for golden beaches, crystal-clear water, and glorious over-water bungalows. It’s no wonder the collection of tropical islands (over 1,000, for your information) is at the top of the bucket list for brides and grooms across the globe.
Meet Baros Maldives.
First welcoming discerning travellers to its sunny shores 51 years ago, Baros Maldives was one of the first resorts to open in the paradisial part of Earth.
Accommodation
Beginning with the coral-walled, fan-cooled cabanas of the original resort, Baros Maldives has become an icon of luxury. Accommodation is designed to cocoon guests in comfort, furnished with luxurious home comforts and a host of indulgent features.
Comprised as a collection of hand-crafted beachfront and overwater villas, skilfully built from timber and sandstone, the property pays homage to its naturally beautiful surroundings.
Those with a penchant for getting close to nature should opt for a water pool villa. Fanning out over the turquoise lagoon, these over-water retreats offer the perfect balance of privacy and access to the ocean – complete with a private pool.
Dining
The Lighthouse: A legendary dining venue, shining a beacon of light as you approach the resort by speedboat, The Lighthouse restaurant pairs fine cuisine with hand-picked wine in an al fresco setting with unparalleled views across the ocean.
Cayenne Grill: An intimate spot set beside the lapping waters with the aroma of spices drifting through into the air, Cayenne Grill offers an exquisite dinner experience with a hint of tropical flavours.
Lime Restaurant: A la carte dinging in an atmosphere of informal sophistication, Lime Restaurant specialises in local dishes and fresh seafood, all enjoyed under the stars.
Sails Bar: An intimate wooden cabana nestled in a garden of coconut palms, creative cocktails and lite bites are enjoyed in hammocks as soft music serenades you.
Destination Dining: The ultimate experience, whether an intimate overwater dinner for two on the purpose-built piano deck, a picnic on the sandbank or a barbecue on the beach, the dedicated dining team can curate a memorable experience like no other.
Experiences
Spa: On a wooden deck surrounded by sparkling waters or in the cool and calm of Serenity Spa, Baros Maldives offer a choice of deeply soothing holistic and beauty treatments including massages, scrubs and wraps, facials, manicures and pedicures and customised couples’ treatments.
Water sports: From snorkelling and diving excursions, to windsurfing and canoeing, the marine centre is a hub of all things oceanic, with a Marine Biologist on hand with expert advice.
Heaven on Earth awaits.
