Baros Maldives Named Indian Ocean’s Leading Water Villa Resort 2025

MALE, Maldives – July 1, 2025 – Baros Maldives has been awarded the title of Indian Ocean’s Leading Water Villa Resort 2025 at the World Travel Awards, highlighting the resort’s continued dedication to offering bespoke, luxurious experiences rooted in authentic Maldivian hospitality.

Located in the North Malé Atoll, Baros is known for its iconic Water Villas, which offer a blend of privacy, elegance and direct access to the turquoise lagoon. Each villa is designed to provide an immersive connection to the surrounding nature, with expansive sun decks and private pools in select units, overlooking panoramic ocean views.

The resort’s famed house reef, located just steps away, offers vibrant marine biodiversity ideal for snorkeling or a tranquil morning swim among tropical fish and sea turtles.

Baros has remained Maldivian-owned since opening its doors over 50 years ago. With only 75 villas, the resort continues to deliver a deeply personal experience through its attentive service, locally inspired dining, and tailor-made excursions.

“Our heartfelt thanks go to our guests, partners and the entire Baros team for their support in helping us win this award,” said Ibrahim Shijah, General Manager of Baros Maldives. “The World Travel Awards is a prestigious industry platform; this recognition is a great honour and a wonderful reminder that the spirit of Baros continues to resonate with those who return to our shores time and time again.”
