Opened 1973 · Renovated 2005

Baros trades scale for substance. A minimum age of eight and no all-inclusive option set the tone: this is a resort for couples and divers who’d rather have a world-class reef than a water park. The signature half-board plan is a dine-around across all three restaurants — unusual at this tier. North Malé’s premier dive sites are the bonus.
