Out of its team, 54 staff members have been with the resort between 10 to 20 years, whilst 28 members of the team have been there between 20 to 35 years.
The island resort offers 45 beachside and 30 overwater luxury private villas, many with private pools and each complete with butler service.
It is surrounded by tropical greenery and a house reef, just a short swim from the villa doorstep.
Baros, is also renowned for its exquisite dining experiences, has three restaurants including its signature fine-dining restaurant, The Lighthouse.
