Inspection record

Where we've been, and when

We don't recommend islands we haven't walked. This is the record. Every entry is a real visit, usually Amosha, sometimes both of us, always with a mask and fins in the bag. The photos are from our phones. If a resort has changed since we were last there, this page tells you how long ago that was, so you can weigh what we say accordingly.

Baros Maldives

North Male Atoll

Baros Maldives

We arrived at the resort in style, by private speedboat, and Baros took our breath away almost instantly. 🌴

Our water villa wasn’t the most modern we’ve stayed in, but it had a wonderfully exotic, old-world charm that we absolutely loved. The island itself is tiny, but it certainly packs a punch. The villas had just been refurbished during our visit and looked fresh as daisies.

And then there’s the iconic Lighthouse Restaurant—one of the most photographed spots in the Maldives. Dining here, surrounded by the ocean, has a wonderfully soothing quality to it.

All in all, Baros is one of those properties that gets so much right. A beautiful little island, a great sense of place, and plenty to enjoy. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Maldivian escape.
