The NH Collection Maldives Reethi Resort in Baa Atoll offers outstanding marine biodiversity that exceeds typical resort standards. Recent and recent-past reviews document abundant and varied marine life accessible from the house reef, villas, and organized tours. Guests consistently report sightings of schools of fish, sea turtles, multiple ray species (manta rays, stingrays), sharks (including smaller specimens), octopuses, eels, lobsters, and dolphins. Notably, dolphin sightings are recorded both from organized dolphin tours and opportunistically from the beach, with one guest observing approximately 20 dolphins swimming past the reef edge.
