# .Here Baa Atoll > As isolated as one could imagine, the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll is a world teeming with exotic sea life and natural beauty Reflecting a deep connection to the natural surroundings, each ultra-private residence is named after a coral species native to the island’s reef, using its traditional Maldivian name. Capturing the essence of Maldivian heritage and maritime culture, the dining experience is a masterpiece of design and culinary inspiration. ## Key facts - **Location:** Baa Atoll, Maldives - **Rooms:** 9 - **Destination:** [Baa Atoll](https://www.newluxuryguide.com/destinations/baa-atoll) ## Highlights - UNESCO biosphere reserve - Barefoot island concept - Marine conservation focus - Private island setting - Residences with Lagoon and Beachfront access ## Design and architecture Architecture Christopher Chua: KulörGroup Architecture Christopher Chua: KulörGroup Just nine expansive residences span two private islands. Though intimate, this hidden paradise offers the luxuries of a full resort experience, while boasting some of the Maldives’ largest residences pools, blending eco-luxury with expansive spaces. The style reinterprets Tropical Modernism through a Maldivian lens—architecture that is open, climate-responsive, and materially honest. Inspiration came from the curve of the traditional dhoni boat and the billow of sails, translated into the sweeping white roofs of the public pavilions. The result is both poetic and precise—architecture that breathes with its environment. Each space is designed to feel both grounded and weightless, private yet deeply connected to its surroundings. The resort blurs the boundaries between inside and out, structure and nature, making bold use of the island’s cultural textures: woven rope ceilings inspired by traditional crafts, coral stone surfaces recalling local architecture, and a spatial rhythm that echoes the Maldivian dhoni and its connection to sea and sky. The result is a design language that feels at once modern and timeless—refined, sensory, and deeply rooted in place. ## Rooms and suites - **Three Bedroom Residence** (1,177sqm (12,669sqft); King and twin beds): The Three Bedroom Residence is a tropical sanctuary where indoor elegance flows seamlessly onto expansive outdoor decks with sweeping ocean views.
