Amilla Holiday Resort, Maldives

Opened in 2014, Amilla is a luxury resort nestled on a large island within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. With only 59 villas and 8 residences, the majority of the island remains covered in lush jungle. Guests have a choice of spacious accommodations which are either over water, nestled amongst the tree tops or positioned right on the shoreline.

Sustainability and Inclusivity
As an EarthCheck Silver-certified resort, Amilla has various initiatives in place to minimise its impact on the delicate surrounding environment. The large gardens produce a variety of herbs, vegetables, fruits, and mushroom for use in the kitchens, and the resort has its own chicken and duck farm, Cluckingham Palace, where guests can collect fresh eggs for breakfast. There is even a coconut processing facility that produces not only coconut milk and cream, but also cold-pressed oil, rope, and other usable products.

Amilla is also the world's first Inclucare-certified resort, and collaborates closely with a team of UK-based specialists on accessible travel. Staff members are trained in supporting not only guests with mobility impairments, but also those with hearing and visual impairments as well as hidden disabilities. Ramps and lifts can be added to most villas, and both beach wheelchairs and swimming wheelchairs are complimentary. Please contact us for additional details.

Does Amilla have a house reef?

Yes, Amilla has a very nice reef, rich in marine life. It circles the island but guests are advised to avoid the strong currents at the Southern tip and at the end of the water villa jetty, and snorkelling and swimming is not permitted in front of the marina entrance.

There is a steep drop off on the North Eastern side which can be accessed from the beach near the Yoga pavilion jetty, or directly from the Reef Water Pool Villas.
