Acclaimed as one of the world’s most romantic resorts, Baros Maldives has so much more to offer than romance, making the island ideal for gentlemen seeking respite from the pressures and routine of daily life.
This private island resort offers everything from big game fishing to signature cocktails; from lessons in windsurfing or diving to tutored wine tastings; from a dedicated villa host as a Personal Assistant to gourmet cuisine in a sophisticated setting; from solitude for reflection to instant connectivity with the cyber world.Far away from the stress of responsibility and formal attire, but close to the world being just 25 minutes by resort speedboat from the Maldives International Airport, Baros Maldives is easily accessible for a relaxing short break. It’s one of the few places in the world where a hard working gentleman can take off his tie and leather shoes and trade them in for bare feet in the sand, says resort manager A Shuhan.

The hallmark of Baros Maldives is the personal attention to guests by discreet and intelligent staff members in an ambience of utter tranquillity and understated luxury. Every one of the island’s 74 over-water and beach villas is completely private, some with plunge pools, and all with space to be oneself; and each has a well-stocked wine cellar, he says.At Baros Maldives, one can distance oneself from reality or remain in touch as every villa has a 54-channel television, i-Pod and free wi-fi. One can be energetic, following one’s exercise routine in the well-equipped gym, or be pampered with a special spa treatment 'For Him Only' which includes 145 minutes of an oriental massage, followed by gentleman’s facial, says Shuhan.One can enjoy hand trolling from dawn for tuna and jack fish, charter a boat for big game fishing or indulge in watersports and spectacular snorkelling, with evenings watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean with a signature Smoked Manhattan followed by a perfectly served epicurean dinner, concluding with cognacs and a cigar in the gentlemen’s club atmosphere of the Lighthouse Lounge.Whether one come to Baros Maldives alone or with a companion, this island retreat gives gentlemen the chance for mature relaxation to inspire the imagination and feel refreshed to face the world again, he says.Baros Maldives was voted the World’s Most Romantic Resort for the third time at the World Travel Awards ceremony held in Casablanca, Morocco, in December 2015.The resort will be at the Arabian Travel Market as part of the Maldives Tourism Development Corporation’s stand.
