Unlike most countries in the world, the Maldives is made up of more than 1000 islands. Out of the inhabited islands, only slightly more than 80 of them are resort islands, with one resort on every island. For the urbanites who might find it intimidating to be out of reach of the city, this is time for you to rethink that this is exactly why Maldives is so popular with honeymooners. On an exclusive island where you hardly see other occupants, the conditions enable you and your partner to make the most out of each other’s company. And since you will be spending the next few days or even weeks alone, it is wise to choose a distinctive resort like Baros, which is only 25 minutes away from the main land.
While some resorts in Maldives are only accessible by seaplane, Baros is easily reachable by speedboat. This provides more options for guests who want to explore other islands and perhaps do some shopping in the capital Male (pronounced: ma-leh), the only place in Maldives where you can find shopping streets.
A five-star property, Baros offers four room categories ranging from 89sqm to 103sqm, and a single exclusive residence of 268sqm. Those who love to have water on their doorstep would find the Water Villas irresistible as you can just walk directly into the ocean from the comfort of your room. While this is absolutely romantic and the closest you can get to living in water without getting wet, the land villas are a great alternative for those who sleep better on solid ground. Minus the water but no less romantic, you can still enjoy an excellent view of the ocean from inland while being surrounded by the privacy of your own lush garden. Bath time is an amorous affair in Maldives and here, you have the options of soaking in a luxurious tub, going for the cool but private outdoors or heading for the familiar indoor showers. Whatever your choice, there’s always room for two.
At Baros, it is hard not to feel pampered by the many facilities and attentive staff. Even the dining selections here will leave you breathless with so many choices. While there are different restaurant options for your dining pleasure, island dining is a privilege that you must fully utilise on the island. Be it in your room, out on the beach, in the sandbank or some private enclave you have discovered, simply indicate your preference and the staff will set up your dining table at the location where you are expecting to have a private dining experience.
Being the gateway to 30 of the best diving spots in Maldives, serious divers have every reason to visit Baros. For beginners and amateurs, there are professional instructors here to coach and lead you to the PADI Scuba Diving Programme and eventually, the Open Water Diver certification.
With this internationally recognised certificate, you will be allowed to dive anywhere in the world. To complete your experience in Baros, discuss with your instructor and see your ideas materialise into a tailor-made, romantic diving adventure just for the two for you.
