Win a honeymoon to the Maldives - Your Herts & Beds Wedding

Expired

Formally a coconut plantation, Baros Maldives, which is situated in the central southern part of North Malé Atoll and is just 25 minutes by speedboat from the international Malé Airport, was one of the very first resorts to open to the public in 1973. Scooping the title of the 'Indian Ocean's Most Romantic Resort 2016' at the World Travel Awards, it's the perfect spot for honeymooners. Surrounded by tropical greenery and an exquisite house reef, only 15m from the shore, the all-villa resort is the ultimate choice for a secluded and romantic post-wedding getaway.
There are 45 beachside and 30 water villas to choose from, all built by local craftsmen using natural materials to blend with the surrounding environment and many of which come complete with a private pool and Villa Host to cater to your every whim. For ultimate seclusion, the award-winning Baros Residence is encircled by lush flora, hidden away from the rest of the island but with direct access to the beach.
Mealtimes can also be an intimate experience as its Destination Dining means you and your beau can enjoy the finest fare anywhere on the island. You choose where you'd like to tuck into a tasty meal, whether that's your terrace, a secluded sandbank or a sunset boat cruise, and that's where it'll be served – nowhere is off limits. In addition, there are three restaurants and two bars to choose from; The Lighthouse, set on an over-water pavilion serving outstanding French-inspired dishes paired with excellent wines; The Cayenne Grill, which dishes up light lunches and healthy snacks from its open kitchen; and Lime Restaurant that offers an array of Asian-influenced dishes. Newlyweds can toast their new married status with sundowners and canapés at the over-water Lighthouse Lounge or at Sails Bar that boasts hammocks and daybeds facing the lagoon and serves high tea and signature cocktails.
If you can tear yourselves away from the breathtaking surroundings and privacy of your villa, venture out to one of the world's best diving spots to explore the spectacular underwater world of the Maldives. The resort has direct access to 30 of the world's best diving spots and its PADI five-star Gold Palm Dive Centre provides Diving by Design programmes and a Diver Valet Service that means you can marvel at the likes of manta and eagle rays, turtles and sharks, the Maldives Victory shipwreck, and adventure-seeking pairs can even embark on fascinating Fluo Night Dives.
And to transport you to a complete state of serenity, there's The Spa at Baros, which specialises in tailored Asian therapies, designed to soothe the mind and nourish the body, with yoga classes on offer too. The Piano Deck Couples Massage at sunset while floating over the sparkling lagoon is our recommended must-do!
