NEW YORK — Baros Maldives has appointed Christian Szabo to the role of general manager.

Szabo joins Baros from sister property Niva Dhigali, where he most recently served as general manager. He brings more than 30 years of international hospitality experience, including leadership roles with Marriott International and The Ritz-Carlton.

His background also includes sales and marketing experience across luxury hospitality markets in Europe, Russia and the Indian Ocean.

“Christian has been a valued part of our group, and we have seen first-hand his ability to bring people together, strengthen teams and deliver results while never losing sight of the guest experience,” said Visha Mahir, CEO of Versa Hospitality.

Baros Maldives has operated since 1973 and is managed by Versa Hospitality. The private-island resort has 75 villas and is located about 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport.

Szabo succeeds Ibrahim Shijah.
