Overview

Amilla Fushi is a serene and picture-perfect paradise island resort situated within the Baa Atoll, which is recognised as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve thanks to its rich biodiversity. Just half an hour by seaplane from Male, it’s the newest 5 star plus resort in the Maldives. The resort is highly contemporary and combines luxury with a laidback ‘local island’ feel. There’s a village-style general store and the option to self-cater, along with a range of restaurants and eateries offering fine dining to casual snacks and everything in between. The superb facilities include a water sports centre, tennis courts, football pitch, fitness centre and spa.

Accommodation options include villas by the beach, on the water or up in the trees - each one with its own private pool. All villas boast modern, chic decor, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and picturesque views. Bathrooms comprise a bathtub and a walk-in shower, with the toilet in a separate room. Bathrobes and complimentary toiletries are provided, as are tea and coffee making facilities along with crockery and silverware for anyone who opts to cater for themselves.

There’s a superb variety of restaurants and cafes to choose from. The ‘Barolo Grill’ serves up hearty Italian fare, while the award-winning ‘Feeling Koi’ offers relaxed Japanese pub-style options and ‘Wok’ offers a range of Eastern delights. Pick up breakfast at ‘Fresh’ and stop by the ‘Bodyism Café’ for healthier options. There are also several bars and an extensive wine cellar stocked with thousands of international wines to accompany evening meals. Destination dining is available for those wanting an extra special experience, be it a romantic meal for two on the beach or a picnic tucked away in a hidden cove.

There’s no shortage of activities at Amilla Fushi. There are several good snorkelling sites around the island, including two locations where turtles are frequently spotted. H.U.B. is the resort’s underwater exploration and water sports centre where boat charters, diving expeditions and the like can be arranged. On the island itself, there’s a full-service spa and fitness centre, as well as a stylish boutique, a tennis court and football pitch and even a photography studio where guests can go for a complimentary photo shoot and a keepsake 5”7 print.

The provision for families is impressive. The Sultan Village Kids Club has a range of eclectic activities and entertainment for younger ones, whilst the Emperor Beach Club offers plenty of games and sports for teenagers such as volleyball, billiards and badminton. There are giant inflatables for fun in the pool, and diving and snorkelling expeditions tailored specifically to families. Butlers and babysitters are on hand to help out and baby monitors are available for use within your house or residence (although note that the signal doesn't reach the communal hotel areas or pool). Parents are reminded that their children must remain under adult supervision at all times.

  • I would like to say a massive thank you for organising our Vietnam trip. The itinerary and execution were superb, as was the attention to detail. I would also like to thank the agent who was on the end of my whats app chat (I have no idea who they were!) – always available, always quick to respond, and kept me updated regarding times etc. Also, the guides Dan (north) and Tien (mid) were just excellent, and we really enjoyed their company. The lady (whose name I have forgotten) who was our additional guide for the DMZ day was exceedingly good and made that day very special.

  • Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!

    Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.

    Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!

    All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.

    Thanks you once again!

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last
