If you want an Indian Ocean experience that looks beyond the beautiful beaches, Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences holds all the cards. One of only a few locally-owned resorts in the archipelago, the sole purpose of the resort is to champion the incredible culture of this multi-island state, bringing its cast, character and charm to the forefront of guests’ paradisiacal experience.

Nestled in the Baa Atoll UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the resort features far fewer villas and residences than its contemporaries, leaving the island scape largely undisturbed, with more places to play, relax and explore. Surrounded by an incredible house reef full of snappers and fusiliers, the island is a haven for wildlife, which you can spot whilst strolling among its coconut trees and bougainvillea blooms.

Stay in a Treetop pool villa for the greatest natural immersion, floating in the jungle canopy with views stretching out over the Indian Ocean and a private pool suspended over the trees. Or wake up to the gentle sound of waves beneath you in Reef water pool villa, and dangle your toes over your private deck before you slip in to explore the kaleidoscopic underwater world that lies beneath you.

Spend your days drifting from land to sea: snorkelling with manta rays and turtles, setting sail at sunset to spot dolphins across the crystal-clear waters, glamping under the stars in an exclusive air-conditioned bubble tent, cycling amidst coconut palm trees, sketching the flora and fauna or watching movies under the stars by the beach or in the jungle.

Allow Amilla Maldives to make your stay even more inviting with its Amilla Escape offer, where you’ll be gifted 30 per cent off on all villa and residences rates for a minimum of four or more nights, as well as complimentary half-board meal plan. Combine that with the island’s Katheeb service (guest liaison), and complimentary breakfast, kids club activities, mixology classes and more, and your stay promises boundless potential for the most perfect stay in paradise.
