When the place was founded 40 years ago, Baros Island stood out as a high-end destination. There were no phones let alone cell phones; people still used Morse code. Even if a dhoni boat was used to connect the main Malé Atoll’s island chain to the capital Male, it took three whole hours of a cruise. Ideally situated in the vicinity of the then pristine atoll beaches within Malé Atoll where there were no roads such as those traversing from point A to point B in big cities today but only traditional sailboats called dhoni boats (plural), this property has managed to preserve most its natural beauty over time thanks primarily due efforts on behalf this nation’s locals themselves who care so much about their environment! You get the chance to take part in a popular house reef conservation program onsite at an international scope, engage in snorkeling with a marine biologist to know more vivid marine life or wind music through the thatched roof of your villa and enjoy tropical paradise seclusion splendidly.

Sports and Activities

Sports and Activities

Touring the entire shoreline involves walking along long meandering sandy paths - it only takes six hours at most. Nonetheless, for guests who wish, Baros will ensure they are entertained. At Baros, there is a variety of escapes and experiences available. Different kinds of relaxing wraps, scrubs and massages are provided in Serenity Spa that are aimed at releasing stress and tension entirely from the body. Majority of the resorts have similar morning yoga classes, but none can be compared to what is offered at this particular island. However, free group classes are held at 6am every day except Sunday in Palm Garden (hdc). Therefore, a private session can be booked, during which a boat whisks you across the lagoon to a sandbank where the resident yoga instructor at the resort leads you in contortions with the sunrise coming up in the Indian Ocean.

For people who enjoy diving more than yoga, Baros has its diving center which will help you get ready and go under in a second. READ ABOUT DIVING MORE.

Off the beach, guests have the option of snorkeling in the nearby reef, or they can instead utilize a wide variety of watersports opportunities offered by the center which include anything from wakeboarding to transparent-bottomed kayaks. Baros is also featuring a range of daily excursions enabling the opportunity for island-hopping throughout the nearby atolls, engaging in some fishing or checking out the sights and shopping malls on Male island. The Serenity yacht, one of the resorts’ two vessels, and the traditional wooden dhoni, Nooma, can be privately chartered for romantic excursions or used for group sailing tours. 

The spa at Baros is in the midst of a lovely, tropical garden full of greenery where peace fills the air and reached by walking over water. It offers a quiet place where total healthiness for the body, intelligence and spirit is achievable.

In 2024, Baros introduced an exclusive therapeutic service for peace and harmony known as Serenity Healing. This highly detailed journey starts with a 45-minute water therapy in Baros lagoon’s crystal clear waters, before proceeding to 90 minutes of peaceful massage that uses ingredients extracted from the island’s tropical flora.
