Fantastic things to do in Maldives for all kinds of travellers

25 April 2023 | All Blogs, Destination, Dining, Events, Experience

Baros Maldives is a perfectly blissful island destination for all types of travellers. Whether you are a foodie, a nature lover, a sun seeker or on your honeymoon, Baros is the perfect private island resort for you.

For Romantics

Baros is the ultimate in romantic and the perfect place for love. Named the ‘World’s Most Romantic Resort’ in 2022 for the seventh time in ten years by the World Travel Awards, Baros Maldives also received the title of ‘Indian Ocean’s Most Romantic Resort’ for the tenth consecutive year in 2022 and was nominated as the ‘Best Honeymoon Resort in 2021’ by Elle Bridal Awards.

Our ‘Romantic Moments’ package is the perfect collection of activities and experiences to inspire ultimate moments of romance. Included in this package are: a complimentary bottle of champagne and fruit platter on arrival; a blissful 60 minute couples’ massage at Serenity Spa; a sunset cruise with champagne and canapés; a private dinner on the beach; a romantic bath with flowers, wine and chocolates; and a private in-villa breakfast with champagne.

For Foodies

Baros is a gourmand’s paradise. Here, a foodie has the choice of dining at our award-winning fine-dining restaurant, The Lighthouse Restaurant, or enjoying exceptional steaks, local fish and seafood, all grilled to perfection at Cayenne Grill, or Lime Restaurant, where we have an extensive menu, including a wide choice of vegan and vegetarian options.

In addition, we offer Maldivian cooking classes. Guests can learn how to cook traditional Dhivehi cuisine under the rustling leaves of our beautiful palm garden. This local cuisine is wonderfully and mildly spiced and is delicately and exotically flavoured. Coconut and local seafood are hero ingredients in Maldivian cooking and the food is deliciously tasty and light.

For Adventurers

For the adventurous traveller, Baros has an exciting array of activities available. Diving with manta rays and cruising with dolphins are two experiences that will become lifelong memories. The Maldives is one of the few places in the world where you can experience the truly unforgettable experience of these massive, gentle Manta Rays gliding effortlessly around you.

Dolphins tend to have a regular daily routine, feeding offshore at night, and coming into the atolls in the early morning, making it easy for us to ensure that you have the sighting of a lifetime.

From big game fishing excursions to night fishing under the stars, fishing is ranked as one of the top experiences in the Maldives. Reel in Barracuda, Snappers, and even Marlin in December and try your hand at traditional Maldivian fishing using a hand line with raw fish as bait.

For Arts & Culture aficionados

If history, arts and culture move you, then the Maldives has plenty to offer. At Baros you can rest or read a book in our Maldivian Lounge while enjoying our modest collection of traditional and historical artefacts on display. We also have local bands and musicians performing four times a week in the evenings.

Malé, the capital city of the Maldives, is the political, economic and cultural centre of the country and is known for its vibrant atmosphere, bustling streets, historic sites, and diverse array of restaurants and shops. Take a day excursion and visit the Hukuru Miskiy Mosque, known for its intricate carvings and beautiful architecture, or explore The Republic Square and its surroundings: popular gathering places for locals and visitors.

For Nature lovers

Baros is a natural paradise of swaying palms towering overhead and of dense tropical foliage. This cocooning canopy is a lush green against a backdrop of blue sky and sea and is home to many species of flora and fauna. Enjoy a guided island walk where you can learn more about the rich vegetation and fauna of the island.

Our lagoon is a pristine glistening blanket of blue; hidden within is one of the best house reefs in the Maldives. Baros has exceptional diving and snorkelling opportunities with our own Marine Centre and resident Marine biologist on hand to offer expert insight into the local marine life and ecosystem. Have a look at our extensive menu of marine and nature activities here.

Truly Accessible

We are a small island and all our facilities are within easy access of villas. We do have wheelchairs available for guests who may need one and would be happy to arrange a villa taking into account the guest’s accessibility needs.
