These are the hotels I still find myself talking about long after I've returned home.

By the time the clocks go back and the first frost settles across Britain, many of the finest pool villas at Baros will already have been reserved. If the Maldives is calling, now is the ideal time to enquire and take advantage of our early booking offers for Winter 2026/27.

At Baros, turtles pass beneath your villa, angelfish weave through coral gardens and the reef begins a few barefoot steps from your bedroom. Nearly fifty years since welcoming its first guests, this small island remains one of the Maldives' most enduring pleasures - and one of the first to fill when winter draws near.
