Åros is a village on the western side of the inner Oslofjord, about 40 km south of Oslo. Around 2,100 people live here.
The name comes from Old Norse Áróss, meaning "river outlet". The river Åroselva runs through the village and powered sawmills for centuries. In the Middle Ages, Åros was one of Røyken's larger farms.
The village sits between Nærsnes to the north and Sætre to the south, along the coast road that follows the Hurum peninsula. It is a residential community with a small harbour and views across the fjord.
