In today’s fast-paced world, there’s a growing desire to reconnect with nature and embrace wellbeing through biophilia and tranquil escapes. Set like a gem in the midst of the Indian Ocean, Baros offers the perfect sanctuary for those seeking to rejuvenate their mind, body and soul amidst pristine, powder-white sands, lush jungle canopies and the brilliant blue of a glittering lagoon.

At Baros, guests are invited to embark on a journey of wellbeing, profoundly reconnecting with nature. The warm soul of Baros welcomes guests with gentle, unobtrusive, yet exemplary hospitality, providing a genuine, caring and restful embrace.

Stepping onto the welcoming jetty and into the enchanting realm of Baros, one is cocooned in the warmth and beauty of another world, caressed by island breezes and the gentle fragrance of frangipani.

Nourish

Set like jewels within the beauty of Baros’s pristine island habitat are three exemplary restaurants: The Lime Restaurant, Cayenne Grill and The Lighthouse Restaurant. Helmed by chefs of exceptional skill, the culinary artistry here satisfies not only the palate but all the senses. Indulge in fresh seafood such as the Tuna, Mahi Mahi and lobster, sustainably sourced from local waters and perfectly complemented by local ingredients including coconut, chilli and fresh produce. With extensive menus offering authentic Maldivian dishes and diverse vegan and vegetarian options, every meal at Baros becomes an extraordinary memory under a twinkling canopy of stars or beside the vast lagoon.

Soothe

Life on the luxury private island of Baros is a poetic experience that soothes and intrigues, calling for both gentle introspection and adventurous exploration. Follow a meandering path to the jungle heart of the island and discover The Serenity Spa. Here, therapists attuned to guests’ needs offer spa experiences designed to transport you to another realm. Enjoy the Serenity Healing experience, beginning with a 45-minute immersive water therapy session in the Baros lagoon, followed by a 90- minute tranquil healing massage incorporating natural ingredients sourced from the island’s lush botanical garden. Reflect in quiet meditation with Trataka, a candle meditation technique, enveloped by the soothing sounds of nature.

Reconnect

Once a coconut plantation, Baros preserves original coconut palms that tower majestically overhead. Beneath the established canopy of green lies the Botanical Garden, showcasing the island’s lush and remarkably diverse vegetation. Guests can immerse themselves in the island’s beauty, exploring indigenous flora and rare inclusions. Stroll along idyllic pathways, scanning the QR codes placed alongside the plants to learn about the plants’ medicinal properties and cultural significance, or join a guided island walk led by Baros’s knowledgeable staff. The experience is truly immersive, allowing guests to touch and smell the various plants.

Beneath the pristine, blue waters of the Baros lagoon, lies the world-class Baros’s house reef, home to turtles, harmless reef sharks and an exotic array of fish. Exceptional diving and snorkelling opportunities await steps from your private villa. Led by the resident marine biologist, the Marine Centre offers an extensive menu of activities, providing expert insights into the local marine life and ecosystem.

As you drink in the tranquillity of this island haven, reconnect with yourself, each other and nature. Surrender to the sounds of paradise and let serenity wash over you, rejuvenating your senses.

Leave restored

Baros evokes a sense of wellbeing and serenity, not just wellness. Although the island resort offers a 24/7 gym and healthy, fresh food options, it is the natural surroundings that serve as the true balm. Whether resting with a book under the dappled light of swaying palms, enjoying a transcendent treatment at the Serenity Spa, gliding effortlessly in the turquoise lagoon, or dining under the stars, Baros’s natural setting restores the mind, body and soul.

This Eid Al-Adha, W Maldives—The Original Wavemaker—invites guests to trade tradition for transformation, with a curated celebration that blends bold flavors, soulful rhythms, and serene moments in true island style. Nestled in the heart of the Maldives’ North Ari Atoll, the luxury playground is making the occasion with two exclusive offerings designed to awaken the senses and honor the spirit of the season—one for those who crave slow, mindful reconnection and another for those ready to revel under the stars.

On 6 June, the resort’s signature beachside smokehouse restaurant, FIRE, becomes the backdrop for Eid Revelry, a one-night-only dinner experience that puts Maldivian flavors and music in the spotlight. Set beneath swaying palms and candlelit skies, the open-air feast features a spread of elevated island cuisine, designed for sharing and celebrating. The vibe? Laid-back yet unmistakably electric., thank to live performances from two of the Maldives’ musical talents: Miraa, whose vocals bring a soulful edge to island storytelling, and DJ Hambe, whose dynamic beats effortlessly bridge traditional roots and modern rhythm. As homegrown talents championing the local creative scene, their presence adds heart and authenticity to the night—proof that Eid on an island can be both grounded and gloriously unexpected.

For those seeking a more introspective take on the holiday, AWAY Spa offers the Calm Celebration ritual from 4 to 11 June—a 60-minute escape designed to bring clarity to the body and calm to the mind. The experience begins with a 30-minute back, neck, and shoulder massage to melt away tension, followed by a 30-minute facial for a radiant refresh. Hosted in one of W Maldives’ iconic overwater treatment rooms—where waves become natural soundtrack—the treatment honors the quiet side of Eid, offering guests a moment to breathe, reset and emerge renewed.

The best part? Guests don’t have to shoose between tranquility and thrill—they can do both! W Maldives makes it easy to craft a holiday that hits every note, from spa serenity by day to barefoot beats by night.

And with the resort’s Stay, Dine & Fly offer—which includes daily half board, shared return seaplane transfers, and full access to all signature happenings—the only thing guests need to worry about is whether they’ll start with a stretch or a spritz.
