Baa Atoll, Administrative division in Maldives.

The Baa Atoll comprises three natural atolls spanning 42 kilometers in length and 32 kilometers in width, containing 75 islands in total.

The region received international recognition in 2011 when UNESCO designated Baa Atoll as a Biosphere Reserve for its ecological importance.

Local artisans in Thulhaadhoo Island maintain traditional lacquerwork handicrafts, producing decorative items that represent Maldivian craftsmanship.

Transportation to the atoll involves seaplane or domestic flights from Male Airport, with journey times varying between 30 to 45 minutes.

Hanifaru Bay features a natural lagoon where large groups of manta rays and whale sharks gather during specific plankton-rich seasons.
