.Here Baa Atoll — Maldives
Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Maldives, is the place where the question always arises: beach or villa above the water? At Somewhere, the first phase of .Here—the new top-notch offering from Seaside Collection, who run nearby Finolhu—there’s no need to choose. Each of the seven residences spans the width of Finolhu: the sand is at one end, and the covetable ladder that leads straight into the Indian Ocean the other. Designed by Singapore’s KulörGroup with interiors by Inge Moore of London’s Muza Lab, the two-story villas are inspired by dhoni boats and Feyli sarongs. The villas have outdoor showers and hammocks on the first level, as well as sun loungers and swings. They also feature suspended sky infinity pool pools that lead to a waterfall cascading down to a small plunge-pool below. Interiors are characterized by tactile, textured soft furnishings, including voluminous pillows, cloud lamps and fringed curtain. It’s not just about the accommodation, but also the experience. Setting up your stay is simple. Roohus (butlers) are assigned to every residence to arrange spa treatments, water sports, and other activities. Eco-conscious visitors can take a Coral Conservation Course to snorkel with marine biologists. Safar’s open-air restaurant is run by chef Georgios Vasilopoulos. He was previously at Raffles Dubai, Nobu Matsuhisa Mykonos. He has also worked as the personal chef of the Jordanian Royal Family. Although he keeps his experiences under wraps, he doesn’t hesitate to blow guests away with the seafood barbecues he prepares. The Oceaneers Kids Club, the Fehi Spa and the Crab Shack are also available to guests of Somewhere. Nowhere is the second phase, which was designed to be a total buyout. It will open in spring of 2026, with two luxurious residences (a five-bedroom and three-bedroom), and Fehi Wellness – a spa dedicated to this resort. Starting at $17,918.07. —Divia Thani
