Amilla Maldives Resort  

On a lush private island in Baa Atoll, Maldives — just a 30-minute seaplane hop from Malé. Set inside the UNESCO Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve, this large resort spreads villas and residences across jungle, sand and lagoon.

Soothing, airy villas blur the lines between land, ocean, jungle and sky. Many rooms have private pools; pick an overwater sunset villa with a wave‑skimming hammock, a treetop suite that wakes you to birdsong, a breezy beach villa, or a glamping tent for starry nights. Rooms come stocked with minibar, bathrobe and slippers; exact features vary by category.

Restore at the Javvu Spa with hammam, sauna and massage rooms. Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, chill at the beach club, or dive and snorkel the vibrant reef — manta ray gatherings are a highlight. Fitness, yoga, a diving club, kids' playrooms, library, karaoke, picnic and BBQ areas round out the offerings. Expect sea‑breeze mornings and jungle evenings.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property, concierge service and private check‑in/out. Laundry, dry cleaning, safe‑deposit boxes and multilingual staff available; elevator access on the island.

Eight restaurants serve a wide range of dishes — from poke bowls to pasta — plus a relaxed bar and a café for snacks and evening drinks. Dining options suit casual beach days and memorable island dinners.
