Amilla Maldives

Everything about this resort was phenomenal! We stayed in one of the villas on the lagoon and the room was incredible. Not only was it very modern looking, but very clean and very spacious. The back deck over the water had lots of room for lounging and the pool looked over the reefs where we could see fish, small sharks, and had a beautiful view of the lagoon. The service was impeccable...from room maintenance, food delivery, restaurant service, and generally anything we needed or wanted, all was happily addressed immediately. Definitely 5-star! The island was also impeccably maintained and was absolutely the most gorgeous place I have ever been to. The food was amazing, very fresh and creative, and we loved their focus on wellness. The staff was super friendly and social, and we got to know the executive sous chef, the general manager and especially our guide "Buddy" who was the most perfect "host," at our beck and call at any hour. What we also loved about this island was the privacy and peacefulness...just enough people to make it feel social but generally we felt like we almost had the place to ourselves. There are lots of activities if you choose and the snorkeling is phenomenal..reef sharks, beautiful fish and turtles. The cuisine of the island is very well-balanced with a lean toward Indian, but the fresh fish/sushi was incomparable. Amazing vacation, we can't wait to go back!

We spent 10 days and we stayed at the Reef Villas with 2 kids. Very spacious, It felt like we had separate rooms. The property is very clean. It looks like it has been refurbished. Food is excellent. We were on the all inclusive package and it was a lot of food. The restaurants were in par with some of the top in Europe; we are quite selective with the food. Activities such as diving, fishing and sand bank island were very nice and kids enjoyed them. Finally, this resort is more expensive than comparable resorts in the area but well worth it. Greats thanks to our butler Serwar, and Victoria and Jason (manager) who were always around to make sure everybody was having a good time.

So my wife and I wanted to have a honeymoon to remember for the rest of our lives, and Amilla did not disappoint. I looked and researched thoroughly to find the best resort that suited us for what we were looking for and as well as our budget, and we decided to make Amilla our honeymoon destination. First off, upon arrival to the island, we were welcomed very warmly by the managers as well as several worked as they awaited for us to dock. We were PCR tested immediately upon arrival in our rooms. We had put results within an hour and were then allowed free reign on the island as well as being able to remove our masks. The island and the resort is absolutely breathtaking. Everything was so clean and well kept. Nothing was dirty or out of place. Our room (sunset pool villa) was spotless and well put together. When we go back, I would book the same room. What stuck out to my wife and I the most, was the way the staff interacted with the guests. After the first day, the waiters and greeters knew us by first name basis. They would give us a warm welcome to each meal we went to, or in passing they would make small conversations to see how our stay was going and if there was anything we needed. By the 2nd day, they remembered exactly what drink we order and made sure our drinks were never empty. They were nothing but professional and polite and by the end of our time there, my wife and I had formed a bond with some of the staff. A few shout outs to the wait staff: Hass

Stunning location, attentive staff who just avoid in going too far. Excellently maintained facilities and as a vegan, the range of choice of food was exceptional. Room was beautiful (though I caught my foot on an ill-maintained wood plank by my pool causing a large splinter). So much about our trip was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended
