T he Maldives Icon - Baros is an award- winning luxury private island resort in the Maldives, a short 25-minute speedboat ride from Maldives International Airport. This tropical haven is home to 75 sophisticated villas framed by a seemingly endless powder-soft white beach and a glittering lagoon surrounded by a world-class house reef. It’s paradise personified. Welcoming guests since 1973, Baros has spent decades honing its services and cultivating its environment, making it the Maldivian Icon. An award-winning resort, and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of The World, Baros is celebrated for its authentic spirit, legendary service, outstanding comfort and understated elegance. And, then of course, there’s the food. A new menu at the iconic Lighthouse Restaurant and Cayenne’s new grill house concept are adding to Baros Maldives’ already- incredible dining experiences. Baros is well-known for its exquisite dining experiences ranging from gourmet picnics on deserted sandbanks, romantic dinners aboard traditional Dhoni sailing boats and bubbly breakfasts on the piano deck. Now, Baros’ gourmet offerings have become even more elaborate with the introduction of new à la carte and degustation menus at the iconic Lighthouse Restaurant, and reimagined sophisticated grill house dining at Cayenne.
