Amilla Maldives

Set in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO biosphere reserve region, Amilla Maldives is a 5-star property with 67 villas that leans into a barefoot-luxury style rather than stiff formality. Room categories range from the Reef Water Villa and Beach Pool Pavilion to Treetop Villas with their own freshwater pools, up to the expansive Four-Bedroom Amilla Estate for larger groups or families, with rates starting at $1,183.

Guests have access to a private beach, spa and massage treatments, a tennis court, and a full slate of water-based activity including diving, snorkeling, fishing and other water sports. A kids' club and private butler service round out the offering for families and those wanting extra attention, while several restaurants and a bar cover dining and evenings out.

With a 9.1/10 guest rating from 62 reviews, Amilla is a solid choice for travellers to Baa Atoll wanting spacious villa living, varied room configurations, and a broad activity list in one resort.
