Your guide to the best luxury hotels in the Baa Atoll

The Baa Atoll lies northwest of Malé and is protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a mosaic of lagoons, reefs and small islands. Hanifaru Bay is famous for the manta rays that gather to feed there between May and November. Whoever books a 5-star hotel in the Baa Atoll usually reaches the island by seaplane, a little over half an hour from Malé. The luxury hotels in the Baa Atoll are as different as their islands.Milaidhoo Island Maldives Baa AtollMilaidhoo Island Maldives Baa AtollCouples traveling without children find peace at Milaidhoo Island Maldives Baa Atoll, which only welcomes guests aged eight and over, with an infinity pool at every villa. For families we recommend Amilla Maldives, with a kids' club, a football pitch and an open-air cinema. If you are after music, a beach club and a long sandbank, book Finolhu Maldives.

Pools

These luxury hotels in the Baa Atoll have a pool: private at the villa, facing the ocean and beside the spa

A pool for every villa: At Milaidhoo Island Maldives Baa Atoll, each of the 50 villas and residences comes with its own freshwater infinity pool. If you want company, swim in the main pool at Compass Pool Bar, which overlooks the ocean; in the evening the bar turns into a lounge.

Amilla MaldivesAmilla Maldives

Room for big groups: At Amilla Maldives, too, every villa and residence has a private pool, and the Great Beach Residence even has two. Besides the main pool, the Javvu Spa has a tranquil pool right on the Indian Ocean for switching off.

Pool or sandbank: At Finolhu Maldives, 79 of the 125 villas have their own pool. The main pool next to Beach Kitchen is no deeper than 1.2 meters, good for children, and two kilometers of beach invite you to swim.

Our tip: secure a villa with a pool

Not every villa at Finolhu Maldives has its own pool. Let us know if you want one right outside your door and we will reserve the right category.

Japan and barefoot dining: A wooden walkway at Finolhu Maldives leads to Kanusan, a Japanese restaurant on stilts with a sushi counter. To the Crab Shack on the sandbank you walk 20 minutes or take a wooden boat for five, and at sunset the party starts there.
