Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Amilla Maldives works well for families and larger groups thanks to private pool villas sized for every party configuration. Complimentary water sports equipment is included, which keeps daily costs down for guests keen to get on the water, and dining spans multiple restaurants for variety across a longer stay. The resort also offers accessible facilities for guests with mobility needs, a detail not every Baa Atoll property provides. Set within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it does require the standard remote-atoll transfers, and the island's size means some walks between villas and facilities are longer than at smaller resorts.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 6 hotels we list on Baa Atoll is 9.4.
