About the Resort
Baa Atoll's marine-science flagship.
Landaa Giraavaru is the larger, wilder Four Seasons in the Maldives. A seaplane ride into Baa Atoll puts you on an island with one of the country's most serious marine biology programmes - manta research, coral propagation, and a rehabilitation centre for sea turtles. The Ayurvedic retreat is a separate facility on the same island.
