North Male Atoll, Maldives

Baros Maldives

The island of Baros is located in the Republic of the Maldives, at the heart of the Indian Ocean. A tropical paradise amidst turquoise seas, our Maldives beach resort lies in the southern reaches of North Malé Atoll – a beautiful seascape like nowhere else on Earth, yet within a short speedboat ride of the Maldives’ international airport.

Baros is in the same atoll as the international airport so there’s no need to wait for a seaplane to ferry you there. While visitors bound for distant atolls have to queue for a transfer flight, you’ll be enjoying an enchanting 25-minute speedboat ride from the airport island direct to your villa.

Our speedboats run from the airport to Baros on request at any time of day or night – and we’ll be ready to meet you at the airport as soon as you arrive. Your holiday at Baros begins minutes after you touch down.
