Manta Reserve Awaits December’s Second Winner of the World’s Biggest Giveaway!

Welcome to Manta Reserve, December’s second sponsor of our “World’s Biggest Giveaway” campaign. Located on the local island of Maalhos in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Manta Reserve offers a villa-style escape where relaxation and adventure exist in perfect balance. Just a minute’s walk from the beach, this intimate retreat places guests at the heart of island life, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and soft white sands.
Manta Reserve features thoughtfully designed Standard Rooms and Deluxe Rooms with Patio, all arranged around an open garden area. Interiors are crafted with the help of local artisans, blending comfort with a sense of place.
Guests enjoy complimentary in-house breakfast each morning, with the option to dine on-site or explore local eateries across the island. For families or groups, the entire villa can be reserved, with the option of a personal chef for a more private and tailored stay.
The beach and house reef sit close by, offering easy access to the lagoon throughout the day. Snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet skiing are all available nearby, making it easy to move between quiet moments on the sand and time spent on the water.
Experiences at Manta Reserve are designed to showcase the natural and cultural richness of Baa Atoll. Guests can join Hanifaru Bay manta ray excursions, diving and snorkelling trips, morning big game fishing, turtle watch snorkelling, or night fishing under the stars.
For slower-paced days, sandbank picnics, uninhabited island excursions, and sunset dolphin watching offer moments of calm and connection with nature. Cultural activities such as local island tours and cooking classes add depth to the island experience, while beach dinners, sandbank BBQs, and professional beach photoshoots create lasting memories.
Manta Reserve also offers customisable packages tailored to different travel styles. Romantic escapes include vow renewals, anniversary celebrations, and beach wedding photo shoots, while adventure-focused packages combine accommodation with diving, fishing, and water-based activities. Guests can also opt for simple bed-and-breakfast stays, allowing more freedom to explore the island at their own pace.
Manta Reserve is an invitation to experience Baa Atoll in a personal and authentic way, where each day unfolds according to your rhythm. As December’s second lucky winner of the World’s Biggest Giveaway, this intimate Maldivian escape could soon be yours.
