Return to Amilla Maldives and Witness Manta Season in Full Swing

The perfect tropical island getaway awaits as one of Maldives Luxury resorts welcomes you from over crystalline waters. The name ‘Amilla Fushi’ means 'Your island home' and this resort stands up to that name as guests endure a welcoming atmosphere and personalised service, complimenting to its world-class luxury villas and amenities.

Amilla’s renowned manta spectacles are now on full swing in Baa Atoll, as guests are just in time to witness one of nature’s marvels in the Maldives. Baa Atoll is one of the best places in the entire Maldives for spotting manta rays‚ with its warm clear waters and incredible visibility of up to 40 meters.

In fact, Baa Atoll was named a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in recognition of its incredible marine biodiversity. The best times to spot mantas are during the full moon and the new moon, but Amilla’s HUB water sports team can track the scent of mantas from any corner, and know their favourite territories such as cleaning stations or of course‚ the world-famous Hanifaru Bay.

Hanifaru Bay is renowned for attracting an exceptional array of magnificent manta rays and friendly whale sharks, due to the huge quantities of zoo plankton that become trapped in the bay, creating a zoo plankton soup that attracts these divine creatures. Hanifaru is also a nesting site for green and hawksbill turtles.

The Amilla water-sports team takes guests on a guided snorkel so they can view these amazing creatures in their natural environment. Taking advantage of Amilla’s flexible cancellation policy‚ many guests have returned to Amilla with the resumption of scheduled flights from around the world, to find themselves in the middle of the area’s celebrated Manta Season‚ which runs until November.
