This resort is known for its understated elegance and has been a favorite among honeymooners for decades. The private sandbank dining experience and the Piano Deck are unique features that make Baros stand out. The resort's house reef is also a highlight, offering fantastic snorkeling opportunities right from the shore.

The resort's Champagne Pavilion, an overwater al fresco setting, is well suited to sunset toasts and romantic evenings.
