BAA ATOLL INFO

Southern Maalhosmadulhu Atoll or Maalhosmadulhu South (code name Baa Atoll) is an administrative division of the Maldives. It corresponds to the southern part of Maalhosmadulhu Atoll and the smaller natural atoll known as Goifulhafehendhu.

NOTE: Haa Alifu, Haa Dhaalu, Shaviyani, Noonu, Raa, Baa, etc. are code letters assigned to the present administrative divisions of the Maldives. They are not the proper names of these divisions or atolls. The order followed by the code letters is from North to South, beginning with the first letters of the Dhivehi alphabet. These code letters have become popular among tourists and foreigners in the Maldives who find them easier to pronounce than the true atoll names in Dhivehi, (save a few exceptions, like Ari Atoll).
