Baros, Maldives

Surrounded by idyllic ocean, the almost-too-perfect North Malé Atoll is home to many dreamlike resorts. One of the best is Baros Maldives, a sandy spec of perfection. 

At home, having water under your foundations is big trouble. At Baros Maldives, it's the complete opposite. Huts, thatched villas, bars, and restaurants all stand atop pillars sturdily raised over the crystalline sea.

In fact, 30 villas hang above the fishes; yet another 45 are set back on the powdery sand beach and lush flowered grounds. And, that's not even counting the 10 pool villas or sprawling residence - available for larger groups, or those that simply must have their space.

Snorkeling and diving are huge draws, and offer a myriad of rare sights. Then there's The Spa, where feet get dusted off and pampered.

After you're tidy, head to any of the three restaurants and two bars. All over the ocean, they offer everything from champagne breakfast, to designer cocktails and international cuisine. 

The brilliant blue of the lagoon. Purple petals in the bathtub. Pure white cotton sheets. Mango and tangerine margaritas. Just some of the brilliant colours of Baros Maldives.

Enjoy the tour!
