The Location – Paradise found The Maldives needs no introduction as one of the most exquisitely beautiful destinations on the planet, and the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is one of its finest spots. The Baa Atoll is one of 26 natural atolls in the Indian Ocean, and its crystal-clear waters are protected from fishing and development, meaning the most incredible, colourful fish and sea life can be spotted when snorkeling and scuba-diving.
