A UNESCO biosphere of desert-isle keys and luminous lagoons — manta season, castaway picnics, and nights lit only by the resort you've chosen.

Seventy-five islands, thirteen inhabited by more than a resort or two. Baa Atoll is the Maldives at its most elemental — a UNESCO biosphere where mantas funnel through plankton-rich bays.
