Baros has been welcoming guests since 1973, which makes it one of the country’s first resorts, and it has spent the decades since polishing a lush, intimate island 25 minutes from the airport by speedboat. Thirty dive sites and an old shipwreck lie within 50 minutes by boat, and dinner at The Lighthouse is a Maldives classic.
