Maldives · Baa Atoll
A large Baa Atoll island with a serious marine research operation attached — coral restoration, manta science and turtle rehabilitation run year-round.
Marine science meets resort
The property
Landaa Giraavaru is where a Maldives holiday can also be an education. The Marine Discovery Centre runs a coral propagation programme and the Maldivian Manta Ray Project from the island, and guests can join the work rather than just watch it. Hanifaru Bay — the single greatest manta aggregation site on earth during the southwest monsoon — is a short boat ride away. The resort itself is spacious and family-strong, with an Ayurvedic retreat that is among the most credible in the region.
The place itself
The resort's own, as it is today — not a shoot we commissioned and not a stock library. Drag or scroll.














Where you sleep
Beach and overwater bungalows and villas, most with pools. Which one is right depends on the month and who is travelling — that is the first thing we will ask.

What makes it itself
The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.
Treatments on the property — massage, health club, steam room, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.
Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.
Supervised hours for the children, which is the difference between a holiday and a fortnight of childcare with a view.

In the water
House reefThe lagoon here is very wide, so the reef is a boat ride or a long swim rather than a step off the beach — the dive team run daily trips onto it and to the kandus and thilas around Baa
