04 March 2021: Avant-garde Amilla Maldives Resort & Residences is taking 'glamping' to new levels with the launch of Amilla Glamping: three romantic new bubble tent experiences especially designed for nature and wellness lovers.  Starting from USD750 (approx. GBP542) per night, the stylish, fully climate-controlled, and waterproof inflatable pods provide Amilla guests with a uniquely immersive nature experience and 360-degree views of the tropical scenery.

Nestled amongst lush foliage, each Amilla Glamping refuge invites guests to make their island sanctuary in a blissful bubble beneath the stars. Coconut trees, pandans and breadfruit trees create a scene of fragrant seclusion, enveloping the Amilla Glamping bubbles in the heart of this verdant natural island. Enchanted by the seductive beauty of nature, birdsong and exotic butterflies by day; spectacularly starlit during the equatorial night, each private pod is augmented by a well-appointed bathroom, outdoor and indoor showers, a plunge pool, steam room and sauna.

Guests can personalise their experience by choosing from three indulgent Amilla Glamping options, crafted by the Amilla Islanders to provide an unparalleled sojourn in synergy with the unique Maldives island setting. 'Bubbles & Stars', from USD750++ per night, includes canapés washed down with a bottle of Champagne, followed by a BBQ dinner beneath the stars prepared by a private chef. The bespoke private experience concludes with a 30-minute foot massage with organic island-grown coconut oil, hitting reflexology pressure points to ensure every molecule of stress has melted away.

'Wellness Your Way' (beginning at USD1,000++ per night) includes a private beach BBQ featuring dishes from Amilla's ground-breaking new 'Wellness Your Way' menu, which comprehensively caters to a variety of dietary lifestyles including keto, vegan and lactose-free. Continuing with the healthy theme, this option also includes the choice of either a Body Pure Massage or a full-body Balinese Massage, to stimulate energy flow around the body, and bring a sense of wellbeing, calm and deep relaxation. The next morning, there is a Guided Sunrise Yoga session focusing on breathing techniques and meditation. 

The third option, “Moonlight Romance' (from USD1,000++ per night) is a pampering experience including Amilla's 90-minute Rose Quartz Heart Massage, using Homemade@Amilla natural aphrodisiac massage oil and Rose Quartz crystals, believed to promote feelings of love and happiness. Champagne and canapés under the stars are followed by a romantic BBQ dinner in the gentle glow of candlelight cooked by a private chef. Upon waking the next morning, an intimate breakfast on the beach beckons.

Amilla's bubble tent can also be booked for overnight stays only from USD450++, or just for the evening for a private BBQ dinner for two from USD450++. For full details of the Amilla Glamping experiences, visit: www.amilla.com/experiences/amilla-glamping

About Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences

A large, verdant natural island in the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences is an enchanting space for families, friends and couples to roam and play. Most of its 67 Villas and Residences are gracefully elevated over crystal clear waters; to venture through the island's halo of white sand into its shaded heart reveals a surprisingly wild, green place – the inspiration for its organic garden-to-table concept. The resort's Homemade@Amilla and Homegrown@Amilla initiatives are manifestations of a heartfelt commitment towards sustainability and resourcefulness. Indigenous ingredients - sea almonds, screwpines, countless coconuts, fragrant frangipani - are celebrated alongside the homemade, homegrown, and homebrewed, bringing personality and vigour to nutritious, immunity-boosting menus. While not strictly a wellness resort, embracing dietary lifestyles is an intuitive part of Amilla's Wellness Your Way, a fresh, holistic and highly customised approach to wellness that encompasses nutrition, mindfulness, movement and spa.
