THE TREEHOUSES
Unlike anywhere else in the Maldives, Amilla has a great choice of two or more-bedroom homes, so it's just as idyllic for families and groups of friends as it is couples. And as well as hovering over water, or hugging the sand, there are show-stopping Two Bedroom Tree Houses too – a first in the Maldives and unique in every way. Set 12 metres above ground, hidden away in the lush jungle foliage, they may have a rustic exterior, but inside they're sleek and contemporary, with thoroughly-modern amenities; bunk beds for the little ones; bathrooms inside and out; BBQs, and canopy-level freshwater pools (another world first). Kids will adore their tree-top adventure, while grown-ups will love popping to the store, grabbing some nibbles and whipping up a few sundowners from their in-room cocktail kit.
