Amilla Maldives

All accommodations embrace indoor-outdoor living with plenty of space for relaxing - including your own private pool. Interiors are breezy and tropical-inspired, with wood and marble, and pops of turquoise and green. Bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and colorful tiles.

Sustainability and wellness are key components of the dining options. Herbs, vegetables, and fruit are grown on the island, and grass-fed beef, lamb, and chicken are ethically-sourced. Enjoy Mediterranean flavors at Tessera and traditional Japanese cuisine at Feeling Koi. The Emperor Beach Club is the social hub of the island and serves tacos and bao buns, while East showcases the flavors of south India. Indulge in fresh Italian pasta and grilled meat at Barolo.

The Javvu Spa is perched among ancient banyan trees and offers a range of holistic therapies, from colored-light chromotherapy to yoga and meditation. Make your own herbal products at the Alchemy Bar’s workshops or relax in the resort pool. Spend lazy days by the beach, or try a painting class with the resident artist.

Hike around the island, or join a guided snorkeling adventure to see tropical fish, turtles, and the majestic dance of manta rays during the feeding season from June until October. Water activities include parasailing, kayaking and wakeboarding. Private yacht charters are also available.
