The Best 2-Bedroom Residences in Baa Atoll, Maldives: Sizes, Capacity & Price Estimates (2026)
By IM Maldives·19 Jul 2026·11 min read
Short answer: a two-bedroom residence in Baa Atoll runs roughly USD 12,000 to 61,000 for an eight-night stay, depending on the resort. Those figures cover the villa on an all-inclusive meal plan, return seaplane transfers and Maldives taxes. All five below sleep four to six guests and come with a private pool. Prices can vary, and the figures here are estimates at the time of writing. We confirm exact pricing for your dates on enquiry.
Baa Atoll is the Maldives' UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and home to Hanifaru Bay, where manta rays and whale sharks gather in season. It is a 30 to 35 minute seaplane flight from Malé, and it is where several of the country's finest resorts keep their largest villas. If you are travelling as a family or a group and want two real bedrooms rather than one room with a sofa bed, these are the five we come back to.
The five residences at a glance
| Residence | Size | Sleeps | Setting | Estimated, 8 nights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anantara Kihavah 2-Bed Sunset Over Water Residence | 1,500 m² | Up to 6 adults | Overwater, private pool | USD 43,000–61,000 |
| Soneva Fushi 2-Bed Suite with Pool | 285–412 m² | Up to 6 guests | Beachfront, private pool | USD 35,000–45,000 |
| Finolhu 2-Bed Water Pool Villa | 460 m² | Up to 6 adults, or 4 + 4 children | Overwater, 8 m pool | USD 30,000–38,000 |
| Dusit Thani Maldives 2-Bed Overwater Pool Pavilion | 370 m² | 4 to 6 (on enquiry) | Overwater, private pool | USD 22,000–39,000 |
| Avani+ Fares 2-Bed Ocean View Pavilion | On enquiry | 4 to 6 (on enquiry) | Beach access | USD 12,000–15,000 |
What these figures cover
Most Maldives prices you see online leave out the parts that hurt. These estimates are built to reflect the real cost of being there:
- The villa for eight nights on an all-inclusive meal plan
- Return seaplane transfers to Baa Atoll, roughly USD 600 to 750 per adult, with children usually about half
- 17% GST and the 10% service charge
- Green tax at USD 12 per person per night
Based on two adults and two children sharing. Transfer costs and green tax scale with the number of guests, while the villa rate does not. Prices can vary with season, availability and resort offers, and the figures here are estimates at the time of writing.
Anantara Kihavah: Two Bedroom Sunset Over Water Pool Residence
The showstopper. Set at the very end of the boardwalk with nothing but the Indian Ocean beyond, this residence runs to a vast 1,500 square metres and sleeps up to six adults. You get two king bedrooms, generous indoor and outdoor living areas, a private pool over the lagoon, a glass-bottomed bathtub and a 24-hour butler. Each ensuite bedroom sits at one end with its own outdoor living area, and glass viewing panels let you watch turtles pass beneath. The sunset aspect is the best on the island.
What the resort offers: See the full resort profile. Kihavah is built around two signature experiences. SEA is the Maldives' only underwater caviar restaurant, set beneath the lagoon with an award-winning wine cellar, and SKY is the country's only overwater observatory, where a resident Sky Guru walks you through the constellations on a professional telescope. Beyond those, expect eight restaurants, the Thiththi Boli Kids Club for ages 4 to 12 with marine biology and craft sessions, an overwater spa, a strong house reef, a dive centre, bicycles, and padel and tennis courts.
Best for: a milestone celebration, two couples travelling together, or a family that wants the overwater dream with genuine space. Estimated for 8 nights: USD 43,000 to 61,000.
Soneva Fushi: Two Bedroom Suite with Pool
Soneva Fushi is the barefoot-luxury icon of Baa Atoll, and this is the villa that shows why. Soneva runs several two-bedroom pool villas, from around 285 square metres up to 412, all sleeping up to six. The Suite with Pool pictured here is set over two storeys, with bedrooms upstairs and down, a double-height living area, large daybeds and a swing on the upper floor. It sits right on the beach with direct lagoon access, a private pool, a terrace swing and an outdoor bathtub set in its own tropical garden.
What the resort offers: See the full resort profile. The Den is widely regarded as the best kids club in the Maldives, a 1,365 square metre, technology-free playground for ages 4 to 17 with a pirate ship, two pools, a music studio and a Lego room holding more than 8,000 pieces. Add Cinema Paradiso, the silent open-air cinema under the stars, chocolate and ice cream rooms you can simply walk into, an observatory with one of the Maldives' largest telescopes and a resident astronomer, 14 dining concepts and a 7,000-bottle wine cellar. The Soneva Unlimited plan can cover dining, beverages, excursions and spa, which changes how an all-inclusive stay here compares with the others.
Best for: families who want character and a villa with personality rather than pure gloss. Estimated for 8 nights: USD 35,000 to 45,000. Soneva has several two-bedroom pool villas, including the larger 412 square metre Crusoe Suite, and we match you to the right one for your group.
Finolhu: Two Bedroom Water Pool Villa
The most playful island in this group, and the best value for overwater space. The Two Bedroom Water Pool Villa runs to 460 square metres out over the lagoon and sleeps up to six adults, or four adults and four children. You get two master bedrooms with king beds, two bathrooms with open-air showers, a large living room, a kitchen for coffee and breakfast, indoor and outdoor dining, and a huge sun deck built around an eight metre infinity pool with steps down into the sea. It also comes with a private buggy for the island, a personal bar and a Marshall sound system, which tells you the tone of the place.
What the resort offers: See the full resort profile. Finolhu's signature is its 1.8 kilometre sandbank, with the Crab Shack sitting halfway along it for toes-in-the-sand dining. There are four restaurants and two bars, including the Japanese fine-dining venue Kanusan, plus the Beach Bubble, a private sphere on the sandbank where you sleep under the Milky Way for a night. Families get the Oceaneers Kids Club for ages 4 to 12 and a separate Teen Hut and Art Lab, and the island also has a PADI 5-star dive centre, the Fehi Spa and an indoor golf studio.
Best for: groups of friends and families who want the most overwater space for the money, and a resort with real energy. Estimated for 8 nights: USD 30,000 to 38,000.
Dusit Thani Maldives: Two Bedroom Overwater Pool Pavilion
The most private of the five. This pavilion is suspended over the lagoon on the sunset side of the island, covering 370 square metres across two bedrooms. Dusit does not publish a fixed maximum for it, and configurations quoted range from four to six guests, so we confirm the exact occupancy for your group. Inside there is a living area, indoor and outdoor dining, a kitchenette and a wine cellar, and the whole thing opens onto a broad veranda wrapped around a private pool. Nothing behind you but water, which is the point.
What the resort offers: See the full resort profile. Dusit Thani has one of the finest house reefs in the Maldives, and from an overwater pavilion you drop off your own deck straight into turtles, reef sharks and, in season, manta rays. Benjarong, the overwater Thai restaurant, has been named the best Thai restaurant in the Indian Ocean. There is also Devarana Wellness with six treatment pods raised among the palms, a 750 square metre infinity pool, a kids club, a PADI 5-star dive centre, a floodlit tennis court, a yoga pavilion and a water sports centre.
Best for: two couples, or a family who want an overwater address, real privacy and the best sunset on the island rather than maximum floor space. Estimated for 8 nights: USD 22,000 to 39,000.
Avani+ Fares: Two Bedroom Ocean View Pavilion
The most accessible entry point, and a strong one. The Two Bedroom Ocean View Pavilion has two bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with twins, two en-suite bathrooms, a spacious living and dining area and a private terrace with beach access.
What the resort offers: See the full resort profile. Four restaurants covering Mediterranean, seafood, pizza and international buffet dining, with vegetarian and halal options throughout. AvaniKids looks after ages 4 to 11 with a dedicated indoor space, its own dining and workshop areas and a quiet room, while a separate Teens Club has gaming stations and excursions. The house reef is genuinely good, with baby reef sharks and eagle rays, and Hanifaru Bay sits on the same atoll. There is a full water sports centre including jetboarding, jet skiing and kitesurfing, a spa, a gym running yoga and pilates, tennis and badminton courts, and a main pool with a slide and jacuzzi.
Best for: families and friends who want two bedrooms in Baa Atoll on a sensible budget. Avani does not publish a size for this pavilion, so we confirm the exact footprint and occupancy for your group. Estimated for 8 nights: USD 12,000 to 15,000.
What changes your price
- Travel dates. Christmas, New Year, Easter and Chinese New Year carry the highest rates and minimum-stay rules. Shoulder and green season are far better value.
- Meal plan. These figures assume all-inclusive. Half-board or full-board lowers the total, and we run the maths for your group before recommending.
- Occupancy. Extra adults and children beyond the base occupancy change the villa rate, and add green tax and transfer cost.
- Offers. Stay-longer offers, honeymoon or celebration extras, and festive programming all move the final number.
- Length of stay. Shorter stays scale the villa rate down, but seaplane transfers stay a fixed cost.
How to choose
Choose Anantara Kihavah for the overwater wow factor, the underwater restaurant and the observatory. Choose Soneva Fushi for barefoot character and the best kids club in the country. Choose Finolhu for the most overwater space for the money, the sandbank and teenagers. Choose Dusit Thani for a private sunset-facing pavilion and an outstanding house reef.

If you are unsure, tell us the ages of everyone travelling and your budget, and we will point you to the right one and the right dates.
