Baros Maldives has been awarded the title of Indian Ocean’s Leading Water Villa Resort 2025 by the World Travel Awards, highlighting the resort’s long-standing dedication to offering serene, personalised experiences rooted in authentic Maldivian hospitality.
Located in the peaceful waters of North Malé Atoll, Baros’ elegant Water Villas offer direct access to the lagoon, sun-soaked decks, and—on select villas—private pools with panoramic ocean views. Designed to provide a deep sense of connection and calm, the villas reflect the essence of Baros’ understated luxury.
The experience extends beyond the villas to the resort’s renowned house reef, home to colourful coral gardens and thriving marine life. Guests can enjoy sunset snorkelling or peaceful swims, often spotting turtles and schools of reef fish.
With over 50 years of welcoming guests, Baros remains proudly Maldivian-owned, offering just 75 villas and a reputation for warm, tailored service.
General Manager Ibrahim Shijah expressed his gratitude:
“Our heartfelt thanks go to our guests, partners and the entire Baros team. This recognition is an honour and a wonderful reminder that the spirit of Baros continues to resonate with those who return to our shores time and again.”
As Baros celebrates this milestone, the resort invites guests old and new to discover the timeless charm that continues to make it a favourite in the Maldives.
