Amilla Maldives redefines the essence of innovative tropical living. Sporting whitewashed geometric architecture, 10 beach villas, five treetop pool villas, eight ultra-luxe multi-bedroom residences and 44 overwater villas all exude minimalistic island bliss.
Overlooking the turquoise waters of the rich Baa Atoll region, Amilla Maldives is a picturesque, 30-minute seaplane ride or combined 20-minute domestic flight and 10-minute speedboat journey from Velana International Airport.
In addition to its wonderfully secluded location, the Maldives resort wins you over with Javvu Spa’s wellness options and calming treatment rooms; the multifaceted dining options of Baazaar, renowned Japanese restaurant Feeling Koi and the Indian flavors of East.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- A reception desk is a thing of the past at the Maldives hotel. Instead, your private katheeb will take care of your every need, from booking indulgent spa treatments to organizing elegant in-room dining experiences.
- Glamping reaches new
heights at Javvu Spa (meaning “atmosphere" in Dhivehi). It doesn’t get much more romantic than the lush jungle
surrounding you when you are inside the 13-foot transparent, air-conditioned
bubble, witnessing the starry night sky above and experiencing a restorative treatment.
- Perched among 400-year-old banyan trees, the spa is ahead of the wellness curve. The facility is home to Sensora, one of only a handful of advanced colored-light chromotherapy systems in the world used to clinically align the body’s electrical field, breath and heartbeat.
- It's easy to embark on a
health and wellness journey at Amilla Maldives with personal training studios
and a rotating calendar of visiting experts. Start your day with over-water
sunrise yoga or an energizing workout at the outdoor Jungle Gym.
- While
nightlife in the Maldives is scarce, you’ll find it here. The resort has a live DJ at
Baa Bar and offers sunset cocktails at Sunset Bar.

The Rooms
