Embark on an enchanting Eid escape at Baros Maldives

Eid is a time of joy, reflection and togetherness – a moment to reunite with loved ones, savour exquisite feasts and embrace the serenity of a well-earned retreat. At Baros Maldives, this sacred occasion is elevated with timeless Maldivian traditions, indulgent dining and the soothing beauty of your very own desert island. From sunlit ocean adventures to tranquil spa moments, every detail is designed to honour the spirit of Eid in effortless elegance.

Imagine this: the sun dances on the turquoise sea, its pristine clarity shimmering like liquid glass. Your feet sink into powder-soft sand, while the lush green canopy of ancient palms casts dappled shade over you. This is paradise, pure and untouched – a sanctuary of beauty and tranquillity, inviting you to celebrate Eid al-Fitr in the unparalleled elegance of Baros. Here, we explain what Eid means at Baros.

An elegant evening by the sea

As dusk settles and lanterns cast a soft glow on the sand, indulge in a private dinner for two beneath the stars. Sharing food as part of Eid is a way Muslims from around the world show they care about each other and, with waves gently lapping at the shore and the island breeze rustling the palms, this intimate dining experience is the perfect way to celebrate togetherness. Complete your evening with a traditional shisha session and a luxurious in-villa romantic bath experience, designed to elevate your island escape.

Ocean adventures and sunset serenity

For those drawn to the sea, Eid at Baros offers the perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity. Glide across the crystal-clear lagoon with complimentary stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking or immerse yourself in the vibrant marine life with complimentary snorkelling equipment for the length of your stay.

As the sun melts into the horizon, set sail on a mesmerising sunset cruise, where the golden hues of dusk meet exquisite onboard indulgences – a moment to cherish as you welcome a new season of joy and renewal.

A sanctuary of wellness

Hidden in the heart of the island, Serenity Spa is a haven of tranquillity, offering a retreat into deep relaxation. Stroll through lush jungle pathways before indulging in 15% off all spa treatments for a day (one of the benefits of booking directly with us), whether it’s a Balinese massage, the unique TheraNaka East African Wood Massage or our guests’ favourite: the Baros signature massage, which blends Thai, Balinese, Swedish and hot stone massage techniques.

The chance to linger longer in luxury

At Baros, the experience extends beyond your stay. Enjoy the flexibility of early check-in and late check-out, ensuring that every moment on the island is unrushed and unforgettable.
