A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve resort in Baa Atoll built around Ayurveda-led wellness and a resident marine-biology team running manta ray, coral and turtle conservation work.
Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru sits inside the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on a former coconut plantation, its 103 villas split between overwater categories with spiral-stair mezzanine lofts and beachfront bungalows in native Maldivian style. AyurMa, the resort's Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy spa, runs alongside a resident marine-biology team's manta ray, coral propagation and turtle rescue work, four pools, a kids' club, and dining across nine restaurants, bars and lounges.

The factsheet
Every fact we hold on Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru (villas, dining, transfers) in one document.
AyurMa's Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy programme, plus daily group yoga and the multi-day Immersion retreat, give this resort a wellness backbone most Maldives properties don't carry — best for a couple building a stay around treatment and stillness rather than pure beach time.
Kuda Velaa kids' club, family-sized water and beach villa categories, and a dedicated children's pool put Landaa Giraavaru firmly in the family bracket — the resort's marine conservation programmes give older children something to do beyond the kids' club, too.
A resident marine-biology team running manta ray, coral propagation and turtle rescue work inside the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, on top of on-site scuba diving and snorkelling, suits guests who want their week to include real marine science, not just a reef swim.

How do guests get to Four Seasons Landaa Giraavaru?
Four Seasons does not publish exact transfer times or modes for Landaa Giraavaru on its official Resort Facts page — unusually for a Maldives resort, no downloadable factsheet exists for this property. IMJ confirms the current routing and duration directly with the resort at the time of booking, before any dates are held.
Is Landaa Giraavaru suited to families, or is it adults-focused?
It's a family resort. Kuda Velaa, the on-site kids' club, runs painting and craft sessions, a hermit crab race, beach games, a touch tank and dedicated yoga sessions for children, and several villa categories are built specifically for families, including the Sunrise and Sunset Family Water Villas and the Family Beach and Oceanfront Bungalows.
What is the AyurMa spa programme, and is it only for guests doing a full wellness retreat?
AyurMa is built around Ayurveda, Yoga Therapy and general wellness, delivered by Ayurvedic doctors, naturopaths and yoga therapists in garden and overwater pavilions. Guests can book single treatments or day sessions as easily as the multi-day AyurMa Immersion programme (seven nights or more, full board); daily group yoga and a livestream class run alongside either option.
How good is the house reef and diving here?
Landaa Giraavaru sits inside the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve on a former coconut plantation with its original vegetation kept intact, and on-site activities include scuba diving, snorkelling and windsurfing. The resort's own marine-biology team also runs manta ray, coral propagation and sea turtle rescue programmes that guests can join or observe.
What is the 'Swim with Holographic Mantas' experience?
It's a 30-minute immersive deep-sea projection experience the resort lists as a signature activity, alongside its other water sports and marine conservation work. IMJ confirms current availability and timing when planning an itinerary.
How many pools and dining venues does the resort have?
Four pools in total: a 50-metre main pool with a swim-up bar and private gazebos, a 20-metre 'floating' seawater pool over the lagoon, and a children's pool. Dining runs across nine restaurants, bars and lounges, from the Italian menu at Blu to the teppanyaki counter at Café Landaa and beachfront grilling at Fuego Grill.
