Make it a 5-star stay
The Maldives are known the world over for their beautiful tropical settings, and the Baa Atoll is no exception. This series of tiny islands seemingly serves up the whitest of the white sand beaches and the bluest of the blue ocean waters. The diving through this region is especially fine, and the 13 inhabited islands feature an array of premium resorts.
Primp, pamper and relax in style on Horubadhoo Island at the Royal Island Resort & Spa. It's a 5-star stay with beachfront villas, two restaurants and a spa. The KIHAAD Maldives celebrates it's beautiful setting. Along with the well-appointed waterfront villas, this hotel offers a dive centre to book diving in nearby Hanifaru Bay.
Baa Atoll super luxury style
The Maldives has been known to draw an elite sect of hoteliers, hoping to outdo one another with their over-the-top approach to luxury accommodation. The result has been a handful of super luxury resorts that offer unsurpassed service with a perfect island setting.
For those that demand the very best no matter what the cost, there are a few Baa Atoll resorts to meet your discerning standards. Reached by seaplane, the Soneva Fushi Resort provides superb accommodation and the services of a private butler. The Anantara Kihavah resort is also reached by seaplane, but offers overwater bungalows with infinity edge pools and a spectacular underwater dining experience.
Saving some money in the Maldives
While luxury accommodation is easily found throughout the Baa Atoll, you can still plan a trip for less. There are a number of smaller guesthouses for more economic travel through the islands. What's better is that you can still enjoy a serene beachfront getaway that encourages relaxation.
Beachfront B&Bs are a great choice if you're hoping to save a few bucks. The Azoush Tourist Guesthouse features three comfortably appointed guest rooms along with an on-site restaurant. The Kethi Lodge is another option in the Baa Atoll, which provides clean and simple accommodation with a chance to explore the local village life of Dharavandhoo Island.
