Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives, on the island of Kanufushi in Baa (South Maalhosmadulu) Atoll, is a large island of 168 rooms, with several beaches facing different directions — there is always one with the light. Honeymoon, wedding, proposal or family — a session here is an hour in the soft light, unhurried, with the photographs in your hands in forty-eight hours.
I have published one shoot from Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives below, the latest in October 2019. They are the best guide to what your own session would look like: the same beaches, the same jetty, the same last half hour of light.
The travel fee to Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives is US$680, always quoted on its own line, so the package price is the package price.

The light at Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives.
At Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives we start about an hour and a quarter before sunset on the lagoon side, where the water is stillest, move through the shallows as the light turns gold, and finish on the jetty at blue hour. The northern atolls get slightly less rain than Malé in Hulhangu, and the light in Iruvai is as clean as anywhere in the country. Sunrise sessions are quieter still, and the water is at its clearest.

Can I book an outside photographer at Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives?
Most Maldivian resorts welcome a photographer booked directly by a guest; a few have an exclusive in-house studio. I confirm Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives's current policy with the resort before you pay anything — usually within six hours of your enquiry — and if the island is exclusive I will say so plainly.
What is the best time of day for photographs at Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives?
The last seventy-five minutes before sunset, then the blue hour. Sunrise is the alternative if you want the beach to yourselves and the flattest water. Midday is for the drone, not for portraits.
How do you get to Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives?
Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives is a 35-minute seaplane from Velana International Airport in Malé. I book the same transfer through the resort and arrive on the day of the session.
When will we receive the photographs?
A sneak peek within 24 hours and the full edited gallery within 48 — often before you leave Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives. Every image is delivered in full resolution with a personal licence to print and share.
Which season is best at Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives?
Baa Atoll has two monsoons: Iruvai (late November to early April) is the dry season with clear skies and still lagoons; Hulhangu (April to November) brings dramatic clouds, short showers and the best sunsets. The shoots on this page were made in Hey.
