How to Book Your Maldives Vacation

11 June 2023 | All Blogs, Destination, Dining, Events, Experience, Villas

Planning and booking your dream island getaway to the Maldives can be almost as fun as the vacation itself. Researching what would make the perfect holiday gets you dreaming of idyllic days drifting in pristine waters and dining on secluded white sandbanks surrounded by lapping waves.

Planning a holiday isn’t a fun activity for everyone though. Sometimes making these decisions can feel very stressful. We have spent decades perfecting our services and booking directly with us makes the process a pleasure.

Let’s walk you through it step by step

Here is our Baros Maldives guide to booking your perfect Maldives vacation:

Research and plan

Spend some time browsing our website. We have various luxurious accommodation options available, as well as tantalising menu selections at our signature restaurant The Lighthouse and other gourmet restaurants. Our Serenity Spa is a serene haven, nestled in tropical gardens, where you can come to relax and be rejuvenated. In addition, our many unique excursions and experiences will add an edge of adventure to your stay, from Maldivian hand-line fishing to swimming with manta rays, or a sunset cruise on our beautiful traditional dhoni, Nooma.

Choose your dates

The Maldives is almost always warm and sunny, averaging temperatures of between 23ºC and 31ºC – making it the perfect spot for an private island vacation. Each of our two seasons, the northeast monsoon (dry-season) extending from January to March and the southwest monsoon (wet-season) extending from mid-May to November with the monsoon transitional periods from December and April, has its own benefits – it all depends on what you are looking for. Our team will help you choose the perfect time of year so that you can experience the Maldives at its best.

Choose your ideal accommodation

Suspended over the pristine blue of our lagoon and offering you direct and immediate access to snorkelling and swimming in our house reef, our over water villas  are iconic of a Maldives holiday. If you love the water, then this is island living at its best.

If you can’t separate your love for the sea from your love for the beach, then our Beach Villas are made for you. Here your feet will feel the shifting of silky sand as you move from the cool, leafy green shade of your private deck, onto the beauty of the beach.

Let our team guide you in choosing the ideal island accommodation option for you.
