Baa Atoll, also known as Maalhosmadulu Dhekunuburi, graces the western side of the Maldives' atoll chain. With 75 islands, including 13 inhabited ones, and a population exceeding 11,000, this atoll is a paradise waiting to be explored. Spanning over 139,000 hectares the atoll lies just north of the Kaashidhoo channel, marking the geographical boundary between the northern and central atoll chains. 

In 2011, Baa Atoll earned the prestigious title of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, owing to its astonishingly diverse ecosystems, thriving marine life, and vibrant coral reefs. With over 1,200 fish species and 250 coral species,it is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Its unique geological formation, featuring submerged reefs, channels, and islands, offers an ideal habitat for marine life. The reserve is also home to multiple endangered species like the green turtle, hawksbill turtle, Napoleon wrasses, and tawny nurse shark.

Hanifaru Bay is the crown jewel of Baa Atoll's biodiversity, drawing countless visitors each year. Situated on the atoll's eastern flank, this small bay hosts some of the largest gatherings of manta rays worldwide. No matter what resort of Baa Atoll you choose to visit, you can witness up to a hundred of these majestic creatures congregating to feast on the bountiful plankton brought in by the tides. Though diving is not allowed in the bay, you can snorkel alongside manta rays and whale sharks. June to November brings the best season to visit the atoll as the South West monsoon sees plankton blooming, attracting hundreds of manta rays and whale sharks.
