DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Amilla Fushi is a new luxury Maldives resort, with 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-bedroomed homes set in the crystal clear waters of the BAA Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere. Only 30 minutes from Malé International Airport, Amilla Fushi is perfect for couples and families with children of all ages.
The beach-side, over-water or tree-top homes are served by a welcoming spa with specialist therapists, a meditation centre, a gourmet deli, a rooftop cocktail bar and fine dining. Indeed, LONU, Luke Mangan’s destination restaurant is a great way to end a day snorkelling or sun-worshiping.
The culinary pampering continues in the Food Bazaar, the hub of the island. A cluster of small restaurants, this offers everything from wok, grill and pizza to the Maldives’ first fish and chip parlour. Fresh, local ingredients are the order of the day.
WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THE HOTEL
- Chef Luke Mangan: his passion for fresh ingredients and artisanal produce from both the East and West shines through. The Wine Shop houses a wine cellar with 10,000 bottles of wines and the cheese collection not much smaller.
- The islands: it’s easy to see why these island atolls have been recognized by UNESCO as worldwide treasures. They’re simply idyllic.
- The homes: whether you’re a couple, a family or a larger party of friends, you can be sure of every contemporary comfort and large, light spaces that overlook the ocean.
