Amilla Villa Estate, Baa Atoll, North Islands, Maldives Vacation Rental

Luring super-savvy travellers and celebrities alike, The Amilla Villa Estate is the pinnacle of pared-down luxury and privacy. Families and groups of friends looking for an unsurpassed and unforgettable holiday will fall in love with this truly outstanding six-bedroom pad – one of just eight hyper-luxury four-to-eight-bedroom residences on Amilla Fushi, a beautiful coral-rimmed island in the Maldives’ Baa Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere Reserve.

This sublime beachfront residence sits on a powdery white-sand beach, with mesmerising sea views from practically every room – a sanctuary for those looking to relax, resource and reconnect.

The perfect example of contemporary Asian-style architecture, with thoughtfully curated, exquisitely detailed interiors, its unbelievably elegant living spaces include air-conditioned and outdoor living rooms, multiple dining rooms and bars, sleek kitchens, kids’ media and games rooms with PlayStation 4, and a study complete with iMac and printer.

The bedrooms are equally chic, with spacious private balconies and seating areas, stunning bathrooms and a serious amount of wardrobe space. And the leisure facilities are sensational – a giant 20-metre lagoon-style pool with semi-submerged sun lounge and shallow kids’ pool, jacuzzi, high-tech gym, steam room, and spa & massage room. Volleyball and table tennis equipment invite residents to stir from their beachside sunbeds and gently swaying hammocks.

Amilla Fushi translates as ‘my island home’. Here, a Rolls beach buggy and bicycles, pillow menu, and two extensive Providores (grocery) lists – one with complimentary items and the other with luxury items chargeable to guests, help create an at-home feeling. And the charismatic and discreet katheeb (house master) goes above and beyond to ensure residents relish every moment, providing from-the-heart service in true island spirit. (For those travelling with their own entourage, there are staff quarters and a room for security too.)

The Amilla Villa Estate is a world of its own. But if residents can tear themselves away, they can enjoy the island’s astonishing facilities: dine at world-class restaurants; explore the rich underwater world, dip into myriad water sports, join fascinating excursions, sooth their senses at the spa, and take life-changing wellbeing sessions and workshops. There’s also a kids club with day-long activities, and a free babysitting service.

Called “the most idyllic and relaxing place on earth” by supermodel Kate Moss, Amilla can be reached by seaplane direct to the island or a short domestic flight from Male International Airport (and ten minute speedboat ride). Alternatively private yachts are welcome at the resort’s marina.

The 8 Bedroom Great Amilla Beach Villa is the largest of eight luxurious rental properties at Amilla; smaller groups can opt for the 6 Bedroom Amilla Villa Estate or one of the six 4 Bedroom Amilla Residences.
