Baros is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year and the legacy of this bijou island is carried forward throughout the enhancement and enrichment.

The resort has re-launched in its 45th year after a two-year renovation period, with major identity enhancement and impressive changes in products and services.

The exciting new changes were initiated with the introduction of a brand new website with new features including 360 tours of Baros Villas. The resort is also offering a special package through its website branded as "Essence of Maldives" in celebration of its 45th anniversary.

A new category of Villa accommodation has been added and branded as Baros Suites. These Baros Suites are private, stand-alone Villas providing guests with a modern, luxurious living space, complete with a spectacular, 19 ft by 10 ft swimming pool, a separate hot and cold water Jacuzzi and a secluded gazebo that features a swing with a view of the ocean stretching to the horizon.

In addition, the existing Baros Water Villas, Baros Pool Villas and Baros Deluxe Villas have all been upgraded with new furniture, bright colours and high-quality materials to enhance guest comfort and improve each Villas elegant style.

The Baros Dining Experiences are better than ever following new designs of the Sails Bar and lagoon side Cayenne Restaurant.

Baros has also refined the loyalty programme for returning guests, known as "Baros Elite." Elite

Membership now entitles guests to free nights, Spa credits, complimentary dinners and other special discounts after just two seven-night holidays at Baros.

The restoration of the house reef to its natural, pristine glory has been advanced with a new project called Coral Lines. This uses a method that is environmentally sustainable and close to nature. Fragments of coral are collected and attached to ropes hanging in the lagoon nursery which are then nurtured for one to three years before being planted directly on the reef. This hands-on method encourages the growth of corals in their natural habitat without any artificial structures. 

Voted the Top Luxury Resort of the year by TripAdvisor Travellers Choice, Baros is a small, lushly landscaped, private tropical island of 75 overwater and beachside garden Villas and white sand beaches set in a turquoise lagoon, just 25 minutes by speedboat from the Maldives International Airport.
