About Baa Atoll
Baa Atoll earned UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status for its pristine coral ecosystems—over 1,400 fish species and manta rays concentrate here. The atoll remains more protected and less developed than tourism-heavy Ari. Hanifaru Bay attracts seasonal manta aggregations where hundreds gather in a feeding frenzy visible from above water.
