A playful take on Maldivian luxury, where spacious island homes, lush jungle and brilliant dining meet a refreshingly relaxed spirit and an EarthCheck Gold-certified approach to sustainability.

THE EXPERIENCE
THE EXPERIENCE
Amilla feels refreshingly unmanicured and relaxed. Villas are huge, bicycles are the preferred way to get around and much of the island is still covered in natural jungle. But for me, the real draw is what lies beyond the beach. You’re in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with brilliant diving, snorkelling and the chance to experience the manta season at Hanifaru Bay.

Hayley's Take
hAYLEY'S TAKE
Amilla is much more my kind of Maldives: barefoot, laid-back and naturally beautiful rather than overly manicured. It still delivers where it matters, with beautiful villas, brilliant food and loads to do, but without losing that relaxed island feel. I love that there's a marine biologist based on the island too, monitoring and rescuing turtles with the Atoll Marine Centre. Add the diving and incredible marine life of Baa Atoll, and it’s an island I could very happily settle into for a week.

SUGGESTED ITINERARY
Sri Lanka → Baa Atoll I’d combine a full Sri Lankan adventure with 5–7 nights at Amilla at the end. Temples, tea country, wildlife and safari first; then fly across to the Maldives for diving, mantas and a few days where shoes become completely unnecessary.
