Overview
Set on a remote jungle-clad island stretching over a kilometre long, Amilla Maldives is a world of its own. Both captivating and enchanting, this private island paradise boasts a series of secret beaches and some of the largest pool villas in the Maldives. It’s a place where time seems to stop, but there’s so much to keep you busy from martial arts classes and movie nights under the stars to wine tasting sessions and Maldivian cooking classes. Those looking to explore above and below the waves will find no shortage of opportunities – snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding, sunset fishing and the much-anticipated Hanifaru Bay just a 15-minute speedboat ride away where you can encounter gentle manta rays in their natural habitat.
