Accommodation

24 Deluxe Villas - Set in flower glades by the beach, the Deluxe Villas have been created with flawless style exuding sheer sophistication. With veranda, each spacious, teak-floored bedroom features a large sofa and a kingsize bed. The bathroom with stand-alone tub extends into a sandstone-walled flower garden refreshed by a waterfall shower.

20 Baros Villas - Beside the bliss of the sun-blessed beach, each Baros Villa is discreetly secluded by tropical vegetation, with a wooden deck for lounging just a pace or two from the lagoon. The ingeniously designed interior has a kingsize bed embraced by curtains, louvered blinds on either side to let in sunlight, an exotic bathroom with a contemporary tub, and a rain shower in a secret garden.

30 Water Villas - By a crescent shaped boardwalk curving over the lagoon, a minute from the beach, each Baros Water Villa is intimately exclusive, with private deck for sunbathing and wooden steps for dipping into the lagoon. These Villas inspire romance, exquisitely furnished with a kingsize bed draped in silk and cotton, a sumptuous bathroom poised over the lagoon, and an enviable ambience of the sublime.

1 Baros Residence - Surrounded by green foliage and bird-of-paradise blossoms, an intimate place to stay, to share secrets, to relax. Retreat to your private pool and swim amidst the ferns and blooms of a tropical garden. A day bed on the sun deck, private spa massages, a linen canopied bed; rooms of granite, tropical timbers and bas-relief; an extravagant bathroom. A butler on call to assure warm and willing service whenever required in this romantic hideaway.

Honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius during August 2011

Mauritius Review

Beautiful Island and truly like paradise. Very focused on staying within the resort but there are a few day trips available. The highlight for us was a boat trip where we got to swim with dolphins and snorkel. It was a great day out. We also rented a car and explored some of the island, it was good ...
