The annual manta ray migration has returned to the Baa Atoll, marking the start of the prime viewing season at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort. From May through October, guests can travel to nearby Hanifaru Bay, a protected UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, to observe the rare cyclone feeding behavior of these marine giants. This sanctuary, located less than an hour from the property, serves as one of the most significant aggregation sites for manta rays globally.
The resort, a luxury wellness-focused destination featuring overwater villas and extensive spa facilities, complements these wildlife encounters with an educational approach to marine conservation. Visitors can attend weekly presentations led by an on-site marine biologist to learn about the local ecosystem and the diverse species inhabiting the surrounding reefs. Beyond guided snorkeling excursions, the resort provides various wellness amenities, including recovery kits and fitness programs, to support guests throughout their stay in this ecologically rich environment.
