The Island

A whole island in a Biosphere Reserve, with a yacht at the dock.

Voavah is a private island in the Baa atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve famous for its manta and whale-shark gatherings. Taken exclusively, it offers seven bedrooms across a beach house and an over-water house, plus a spa, a gym, a dive centre and a 62-foot yacht.

It is Four Seasons service scaled to one party: a dedicated team, the run of the island and the reef, and Landaa Giraavaru’s facilities a short hop away.

The Island

Seven bedrooms, a spa and a yacht, and no one on the island but your party.

01 / 06
01 Accommodation

Two houses, seven bedrooms, one island.

The Beach House holds bedrooms, a cinema, a gym and a spa; the over-water house adds more, with pools and decks on the lagoon. Together they take a large family or group in exclusive use.

The island, its pools, its beaches and its crew are yours alone for the stay.

02 Culinary

A private chef, and dining anywhere on the island.

A chef and team cook to your party alone: Maldivian and international, on the beach, on the yacht, on a sandbank at sunset. There is no restaurant but yours.

Wine, barbecues and floating breakfasts are simply arranged; the kitchen follows your day.

03 Experiences

A yacht, a dive centre, and manta season.

The island’s 62-foot yacht takes you across the atoll to snorkel Hanifaru Bay, where mantas and whale sharks gather in the season, and to dive sites and sandbanks the crowds never reach.

A private dive centre, watersports and fishing are all on hand; the Biosphere Reserve is the playground.

04 Wellness

A private spa, and the reserve for the rest.

The island’s own spa and gym mean treatments and training on your schedule; Landaa Giraavaru’s Ayurvedic centre is a short boat away for deeper programmes.

Yoga on the beach, a swim off the deck, and the quiet of an island with no other guests.

05 Service

A dedicated team, and one designer over the whole stay.

Voavah runs with its own Four Seasons team for your party alone: butlers, chef, dive crew and yacht captain, service at the brand’s highest pitch with no one else to share it.

Behind them sits your Satopia travel designer, who holds the island, times the seaplane and stays one call away throughout.

06 Setting

The Baa atoll: a Biosphere Reserve at its richest.

Baa is the Maldives at its most alive, protected, plankton-rich, the stage for one of the ocean’s great manta gatherings. Voavah has a private island in the middle of it.

To stay is to have a UNESCO reserve on your doorstep and its wildlife almost to yourselves.

A few things worth knowing.

Drawn from recent guests.

The private Riva seaplane transfer

The private Riva seaplane provides a seamless transfer directly to the island. With a dedicated team of over thirty staff members available around the clock, group logistics run effortlessly. Allow time to settle into the dual villa arrangements before exploring the atoll.

Prioritise the vibrant coral reef diving

Dedicate your early mornings to exploring the clear turquoise waters surrounding the private island. The diving experiences here consistently reveal exceptionally vibrant coral reefs and rich marine life. Spending time in this pristine aquatic environment offers a wonderful way to experience the natural surroundings.

Extend your stay

Want to stay a little longer?
We'll plan that too.
