Amilla Maldives is a 5-star island resort in Baa Atoll, Maldives, with 67 villas and rooms. Guests reach the island from Velana International Airport (MLE) by a 35-minute seaplane flight.
The island
Amilla Maldives is a 5-star resort on a 23.5-hectare island in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It is a 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport and sits close to Hanifaru Bay, famous for manta ray gatherings in season. The house reef is outstanding, and the resort is known for its relaxed, residential style and wide range of villas.
Villas
The resort has 67 villas, all with private pools. Beach Villas with Pool and the raised Treetop Pool Villas sit among the trees, while Water Villas with Pool and Lagoon Villas with Pool (about 220 m²) are set over the water. For larger groups, the Family Beach Residence sleeps up to eight.
Dining and drinks
Seven restaurants and two bars give real variety, from FEELING KOI for Japanese cuisine to beachfront and casual venues and cafés. There is 24-hour room service, and meal plans run from bed & breakfast to all inclusive.
Spa and activities
A full-service spa offers massages, body treatments and facials, with a sauna, an outdoor pool and tennis courts. Snorkelling and diving in the biosphere reserve are the main draw, including manta encounters at Hanifaru Bay, and the resort also caters for surfing.
Getting there
Amilla Maldives is reached from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé, the main international gateway to the Maldives. The seaplane flight takes about 35 minutes, with views over the atolls on the way. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so guests landing late in the day usually spend a night near the airport and fly on next morning. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is at 12:00. We arrange the transfer with the resort and include it in your quote.

Through Maldives Agents, villas start from about USD 693 per night for two adults, excluding taxes and transfers. Ask us about the best months for manta season.
