Baa Atoll

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — where mantas gather and nature leads

Baa Atoll earned UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2011, and it's easy to see why. Hanifaru Bay, the atoll's crown jewel, hosts one of the world's largest gatherings of manta rays and whale sharks between May and November — a natural spectacle that draws marine biologists and snorkellers alike. Beyond Hanifaru, Baa's resorts sit on pristine islands surrounded by crystal-clear lagoons and thriving house reefs. The atoll is a 30-minute seaplane flight from Malé, and its properties range from ultra-luxury to sophisticated mid-range. Baa Atoll is the right choice for travellers who want their resort experience anchored to something genuinely extraordinary — a living, breathing marine ecosystem that few destinations on earth can match.
