Baa Atoll in the Maldives is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve renowned for its incredible biodiversity and luxurious resorts. This makes it an ideal destination for snorkeling, diving, and relaxing on pristine beaches. Many resorts offer accessible options, but it's best to confirm specific needs when booking. While exploring independently is possible via local islands, guided tours are recommended for the best diving and snorkeling experiences, especially to see manta rays and whale sharks during the southwest monsoon season (May to November). Expect to spend a considerable amount, as the Maldives is a luxury destination; a typical visit can last from 5-7 days or longer, depending on your budget and activities.
