Amilla Maldives

Overwater villas, treetop pool villas, and beach houses with whitewashed geometric shapes spread across a private island in the Baa Atoll, a Forbes Four Star resort that takes about half an hour by seaplane from the main airport. The dining spans a Japanese restaurant and an Indian kitchen, and the spa keeps the wellness crowd occupied. The kind of place where the real expense is getting there, and the rest follows logically.
