Overview
Diving holidays in Baa Atoll offer some of the best luxury experiences imaginable, with a glut of ultra luxury resorts found in the atoll. Although coral health is quite hit and miss in this northern atoll, due to historic bleaching events, the abundance of marine life means that diving in Baa atoll is still excellent. Marine megafauna flock to this atoll in particular during the summer months where visibility is reduced but the mantas and whale sharks are ever-present. Baa Atoll has achieved UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status, making it very popular for snorkellers and divers, with the world-famous Hanifaru Bay allowing a unique experience to snorkel with hundreds of manta rays congregating and forming feeding chains – an incredible sight to behold!

Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru
One of the largest (in size, not rooms) and most beautiful islands in the Maldives. A large sand spit appears at low tide which leads you to the sand bank in a 45-minute stroll, or grab a paddleboard to explore the turquoise shallows around it teeming with string rays and turtles.
