Ideal Duration for a Maldives Visit

22 February 2023 | All Blogs, Destination

Some islands within the Maldivian archipelago can take a whole travelling day to get to. But with Baros Maldives, within minutes, you will be enjoying our pristine beaches and the quiet, luxurious sanctuary of your private villa, making the most of every moment of your island holiday. This makes even a short trip to Baros the holiday of a lifetime.

No wasted time

Most people will admit that the worst part of travelling is just getting to your destination. Often connecting flights and long transfers mean that you have to factor in extra travel time onto each end of your stay and that you arrive exhausted and flustered. Not at Baros.

Your holiday at Baros begins within moments of touching down at the Maldives international airport, ensuring you waste no time in making the most of your island escape.

Why is Baros perfect for any length of stay? Let us count the ways:

  1. Short, effortless transfers

We make sure your holiday starts from the moment you leave the airport. With just a brisk 25-minute, luxury boat ride directly to your villa, we will have you walking barefoot along the powdered sand of our private beach in no time, the turquoise, lapping waters of Baros washing over your toes.

  1. Running behind? We have you covered

We encourage guests, or their travel agents, to forward flight details 72 hours prior to arrival. If we have these details, we will keep track of your flight’s arrival time and ensure that we are waiting for you as soon as you land. No need to worry or organise any contingency plans.

  1. No seaplane transfer costs

One of the most alluring features of visiting Baros is that getting to us does not include extra expensive, and exhausting, transfers. As soon as you touch down you will be met by our Airport Representative and transferred by speedboat to the island at a much lower cost than by seaplane.

  1. No heavy bags

From the moment you get through arrivals, we are there to take charge of your luggage. You won’t see it again until you open the door of your private villa and find it waiting for you.

  1. No sweat

Once onboard our luxury speedboat, you will be given your choice of ice-cold drink and a refreshing towel to wipe away any traces of the journey.

  1. An unparalleled welcome

On arrival, you will be welcomed by our Baros team including your personal Villa Host who will take care of your check in, escort you to your villa and take care of any of your needs throughout your stay.

Whether you are looking to join us for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, Baros is your ideal tropical escape and will work its magic within minutes of your arrival. Have a look at our latest offers today https://www.baros.com/maldives-offers and book your stay.
