Beach vs. Water Villa: Which is Better?

23 May 2023 | All Blogs, Villas

The turquoise of your plunge pool blends with the blues of our lagoon. From your sun-soaked deck a stairway descends directly to the crystal-clear waters of our house reef. This blissful water villla suspended over the ocean is the iconic, much-loved image of the Maldives that has captured the world’s imagination! It is most people’s ideal of paradise. But is it paradise for you?

Over Water Villa

Do you love the water? Then our private Water Villas are perfect for you! Suspended over our lagoon, they offer you direct and immediate access to snorkelling our house reef and swimming pristine waters. They also have unobstructed ocean views in the day and spectacular, star-studded night sky views once the sun has sunk below the horizon. The water surrounds your own private paradise.

Your Water Villa can also come with a private pool as well a spacious wooden deck with direct lagoon access, a library, IPTV and a dedicated 24-hour villa host

Beach Villa

Can you not separate your love for the sea from your love for the beach? Do your feet long for the soft, shifting of white sand beneath them? Then our Beach Villas are made for you! From the cool, leafy green of your private garden, you can step directly onto the soft white of the beach. After some time in the sun and sea you can retreat to the refuge of your lush private garden, immersed in nature, with animals all around and the friendly, local kan’bili bird, sounding out its unique call.

On your deck you’ve got a canopied daybed and sun loungers, where days can be spent bathed in ocean views and peaceful repose, within steps of the lagoon. White sands, turquoise waters and the wonders of the house reef are just metres away. Inside, spaces that envelope with effortless charm – a comfortable bed, rich wooden furnishings and bespoke Baros amenities. Some of our Beach Villas also have their own shaded pool beneath the tropical trees.

Your Beach Villa has an open-air bathroom with outside shower. It also has a spacious wooden deck close to the beach and lagoon, a library, IPTV and a dedicated 24-hour villa host.

Water or beach, Bliss is guaranteed.

Life at Baros is glorious, outside and in. You will find every comfort in your private cocoon whether this is in a Water Villa or in one of our Beach Villas. Have you decided which is the perfect spot for you? Book it now by contacting our team here [email protected].
