occupies its own private island, just a minute away from
the resort by dhoni (native Maldivian wooden boat).

reception, the island is a tranquil and verdant retreat,
dedicated to physical and mental peace, harmony and
balance. A special emphasis is placed on the healing
elements of the sea and the restorative power of
marine-based nutrients.

world’s best dive destinations with one of the least
exploited marine environments. Hundreds of captivating

deep as 60m with an average around 30m – and near-perfect
weather conditions throughout the year. There is a large
number of excellent dive sites within minutes of the

dhonies. As the Baa Atoll is still new on the
