From their ultra-modern Miami-esque architecture to their stunning minimalist interiors, the six sublime 4 Bedroom Villa Residences deliver lashings of style. Each offers four supremely comfortable bedroom suites, acres of living space, a fabulously equipped kitchen and a private pool right on the beach. Days are magical at Amilla Fushi – early morning dips in the sea, siestas in a swaying-hammock, afternoons snorkelling the house reef or playing a game of backgammon or table tennis. And offering from-the-heart service is your intuitive – but never intrusive – katheeb (house master), who will organise everything from gourmet breakfasts to bespoke beach barbecues; soothing spa sessions to sunset fishing trips. You’ll feel very much at home here – Amilla Fushi means ‘my island home’ in the local Dhivehi language – and when your kitchen is stocked with all your favourite treats and delicious meals can be delivered to your door, you might be tempted to stay put. But parked outside is your own beach buggy and a fleet of bikes for exploring the island’s fabulous restaurants, spa and seemingly endless choice of land and water-based activities From the private, gated entrance of each of the six 4 Bedroom Villa Residences a colonnaded walkway leads across a courtyard garden into the massive living room that looks out to the beach and ocean. Beyond an open-plan kitchen are the dining terrace, swimming pool and sun deck. Also on the ground floor is an ensuite guest bedroom and a guest bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers. A grand staircase leads to the second level of this L-shaped residence. Here, fanning out from a central study are an open-sided lounge, an enormous master suite and two more guest bedroom suites. BEDROOMS Within the four elegantly furnished air-conditioned bedrooms ultra-comfy beds dressed with quality cotton bedlinen and super-sized pillows rest on polished teakwood floors. All rooms feature hi-tech equipment to enhance your stay: Bose sound system, 42-inch or 50-inch TVs with satellite channels and Marantz DVD player, pre-loaded iPad (master only) and code-protected computer safety box. Master suite Occupying 110 square metres of luxurious space, the master suite accords residents the most spectacular ocean views. Here, a palatial 2.3-metre bed faces the glass-fronted balcony and two richly upholstered armchairs provide a corner for reading, or just relaxing to the sound of the waves lapping the shore. Wide teakwood doors to one side of the bedroom slide open to reveal a statement bathtub perfectly positioned for ocean-view bathing, and lead to an outdoor shower courtyard and a huge walk-in rain shower. Behind is a dressing area with multiple wardrobes, seating, and a long vanity with double basins. In the study area is more wardrobe space and a desk. Guest suites – upper level Overlooking the garden at the rear of the villa are two mirror-image guest suites – one with a king-size bed, the other with twins. Within each room is a comfortable seating area. On the balcony, a statement bathtub veiled by a decorative screen gazes across a skyline of palms. Between each suite’s entrance and sleeping area is a dressing area, WC enclosure and bathroom with twin basins and walk-in rain shower. The king bedroom also features an alfresco rain shower courtyard. Guest suite – garden level Just off the living room on the ground floor is the third guest suite, furnished with two single beds and adjoined by a shower room. This room is ideal for children or teens. LIVING AREAS Indoor living One of the myriad pleasures of a sojourn at the 4 Bedroom Villa Residences is the sheer amount of convivial living space. At the villa’s heart is a huge air-conditioned living and dining lounge, with glass sliding doors opening onto the garden on both sides and spectacular sea views. Here, chic seating encircles a large coffee table, and ten upholstered dining chairs are arranged around a teakwood table above a carpet of geometric tiles. Oversized pots, sculptural ceramics in organic shapes, a wealth of natural materials and a neutral sand-and-aqua palette echo the beach setting. Above is the breezy fan-cooled majilis – a spacious lounge open on two sides, with glass balustrades optimising the sea vista. With its super-comfy modular seating and table tennis, this is a cool hang-out space for teens, and the perfect spot for sunset cocktails. (Families and friends renting adjacent villas will appreciate the huge doors that can slide back here to create an extra-large living space.) Flowing seamlessly from the downstairs living area is the wonderfully sophisticated kitchen, well equipped with countless culinary gadgets including wine fridge and pro coffee maker. This is where the villa katheeb prepares delicious breakfasts, or guests can perch at the marble-topped counter and admire the culinary skills of the Amilla chefs as a gourmet dinner is created before their eyes. Outdoor living Blissful beachfront living at the 4 Bedroom Villa Residences begins on the open-sided dining deck where a table for eight extends under a teakwood roof, with oversized pale aqua director’s chairs mirroring their pool and ocean surroundings. Alfresco meals here are magical – particularly when the pro Fisher & Paykel barbecue is in play for a fresh-from-the-sea banquet prepared by one of Amilla’s chefs. Within the beach courtyard gardens clusters of seating rest on white sand in the shade of towering palms, and a pair of double sunbeds recline by the 11-metre infinity-edge swimming pool. A large love seat beckons on the raised poolside sun deck, beyond which a double hammock sways gently among the beach-edge palms.

This Miami-stye paeon to contemporary architecture is the largest of the eight hyper-luxury Amilla Beach Villa Residences. It is perfect for multiple families and large groups of friends who seek palatial space for entertaining without compromising personal privacy. In keeping with its name, this residence is great in so many ways – outrageously super-sized living rooms, immense master bedrooms and supremely comfortable guest suites, kitchen and bar with every conceivable gadget and gizmo, two pools and sun terraces, and myriad extras including gym equipment, table tennis, pool table, and PlayStation 4. You’ll feel very much at home here – Amilla Fushi means ‘my island home’ in the local Dhivehi language, and when your kitchen is stocked with all your favourite treats and delicious meals can be delivered to your door, you might be tempted to stay put. But parked outside is your own beach buggy and a fleet of bikes for exploring the island’s fabulous restaurants, spa and seemingly endless choice of land and water-based activities. At the heart of this capacious, ultra-modern, two-storey residence is a massive living room that looks out over the beach and ocean. To each side is an open-plan glass-sided kitchen – one set up as a bar – behind which is a guest bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, and a single ensuite bedroom. Outside on the beachfront, a pair of 11-metre pools sweep between two raised sun decks, overlooking intimate clusters of garden seating and two large dining terraces connected by a wall of glass doors to the kitchens. On the second level, a huge open-sided lounge connects the two bedroom wings – each with its own staircase leading to a central study area, off which is an enormous sea-view master suite and, to the rear, two ensuite guest bedrooms. BEDROOMS Within The Great Beach Villa Residence’s eight stylish air-conditioned bedrooms, ultra-comfy beds dressed with quality cotton bedlinen and super-sized pillows rest on polished teakwood floors, surrounded by elegant designer furniture. All rooms feature hi-tech equipment to enhance your stay: Bose sound system, 42-inch or 50-inch TVs with satellite channels and Marantz DVD player, pre-loaded iPad (masters only) and code-protected computer safety box Master suites Both occupying a massive 110 square metres of space on either side of The Great Villa Residence, two master suites accord residents the most spectacular views. In each, a palatial 2.3-metre bed faces the turquoise ocean beyond the balcony. Two richly upholstered armchairs provide a corner for reading, watching a film or listening to the surf. Broad teak doors to one side of the bed slide open onto a statement bath perfectly positioned for ocean-view bathing. A hallway links the alfresco shower courtyard and indoor rain shower alcove to the large dressing room and a vanity with double basins. In the study area at the suite’s entrance are more wardrobes and a desk. Guest suites – upper level Overlooking the gardens at the rear of the villa are two pairs of mirror-image guest suites – two with king-size beds, and two with twin beds. Within each room is a comfortable seating area. On the balconies, statement bathtubs veiled by decorative screens gaze across a skyline of palms. Between each suite’s entrance and sleeping area is a dressing area, WC enclosure and bathroom with twin basins and walk-in rain shower. The king bedrooms also feature alfresco rain shower courtyards. Guest suite – garden level Just off the living room on the ground floor are two more guest suites, each furnished with 2 single beds and adjoined by a shower room. These rooms are ideal for children or teens. LIVING AREAS Indoor living Forming The Great Beach Villa Residence’s social heart is an absolutely enormous air-conditioned living and dining lounge, with spectacular sea views through glass sliding doors that open across the room’s full width onto the sandy garden. Clusters of seating are artfully arranged across a sea of geometric tiles that helps define this airy space, and two teakwood tables are the focus for fine dining in air-conditioned comfort. Huge pots, sculptural ceramics in organic shapes, a neutral sand-and-aqua palette and a wealth of natural materials emphasise the laid-back island vibe. Above is the open-sided majilis – a spacious lounge, cooled by overhead fans and sea breezes, with sensational ocean views. This is the place to chill, work out on the gym equipment, or thrash your friends at table tennis and pool. This super-sized playroom provides a pretty cool hangout for teens, and is also a great spot for sunset cocktails. Open to the garden-level living area is a well-equipped air-conditioned kitchen, with myriad equipment including wine fridge, range cooker, and pro coffee maker. This is where your katheeb prepares delicious breakfasts, or you can perch on a stool at the marble-topped counter and admire the culinary skills of the Amilla chefs as a gourmet dinner is created before your eyes. In the bar on the other side of the lounge the Laurent Perrier is chilling in the wine fridge, just waiting for you. Outdoor living The Great Beach Villa Residence’s outdoor living space is framed by two 11 x 5-metre infinity swimming pools right on the beach edge, flanked by raised poolside sun decks furnished with love seats. On either side of the garden is an open-sided dining deck where eight comfy director’s chairs surround a teakwood table, giving a choice of eating areas – breakfast on one side, lunch on the other; or perhaps separate zones for adults and kids. Elsewhere in the beach garden, clusters of sunbeds and casual seating provide alternative spots for relaxation.

Super-savvy travellers, privacy seekers and celebrities alike have been quick to discover the Amilla Villa Estate – perhaps the Maldives’ most sought-after six-bedroom home. This glorious beachfront pad promises an ultra-luxury away-from-it-all island vacation with a breezy laid-back vibe for parties of up to 14 people. Sleek and contemporary in design, it offers acres of space both inside and out. Nearly all the rooms open onto (or overlook) the huge 20-metre pool that sits on the very edge of the beach, paces away form Amilla Fushi’s turquoise lagoon waters and coral reef. Relax in the elegant light-filled living rooms – all exquisitely decorated in cool calming neutrals with must-have designer furniture and mesmerising sea views. Linger over a massage in the spa room, work out in the gym or sneak a siesta in a hammock on the palm-fringed beach. Sip sunset cocktails on the rooftop terrace then enjoy a gourmet seafood barbecue under a galaxy of stars. At no point will the kids be bored, with PlayStation 4 in the games room, an iMac in the study, a cinema room, volley ball, pool table and table tennis. Plus there’s free babysitting whenever you want (and staff quarters for those bringing a nanny or security staff). You’ll feel very much at home here – Amilla Fushi means ‘my island home’ in the local Dhivehi language – and when your kitchen is stocked with all your favourite treats, and delicious meals can be delivered to your door, you might be tempted to stay put. But parked outside is your own beach buggy and a fleet of bikes to explore the island’s astonishing facilities: world-class restaurants; myriad diving, water and land-based activities; kids club; beach club; and a world-class spa, gym and wellbeing centre. The Amilla Villa Estate’s six bedrooms and numerous living spaces luxuriate across a two-storey U-shaped building framing a 20-metre pool and oriented towards the panoramic beach and ocean views. To the left of the entrance lobby is a lounge, guest washroom, study/library, and guest bedroom with garden access. To the right is the guest kitchen (with service kitchen and guest staff quarters behind) leading to the dining room, alfresco dining lounge and bar, cinema and games room. On the floor above are five ensuite bedrooms. A separate wing houses the gym, spa room and steam/sauna, above which is a rooftop sun deck/cocktail lounge. BEDROOMS Elegant custom-designed furniture, extensive wardrobe space, and a calming colour scheme are features of the six air-conditioned bedrooms – all large and light-filled, with ultra-comfy beds dressed with top-quality bedlinen and super-sized pillows relaxing on polished teakwood floors. The hi-tech features here will have everyone reaching for the remote: Bose sound system, 42-inch or 50-inch TVs with satellite channels and Marantz DVD player, pre-loaded iPad (in some rooms) and code-protected computer safety box. Master suite Take a ringside seat for the spectacular sea views on offer from every corner of the master suite. The beach spreads beyond the wall of glass at the foot of the super-king bed, and the adjacent balcony looks over both pool and pearly sand. Access is through a light-filled study and dressing room with extensive wardrobes. Within the roomy ensuite bathroom is a steam/sauna, rain shower, twin basins and a sea-view bathtub. Guest suites – upper level All four upper level guest suites are surprisingly spacious, open onto private balconies, and enjoy sea vistas. Sink back onto the divinely comfortable bed for a siesta, soak in the stately tub, or dive into a comfy chair on the private balcony for a riveting read or sea-breeze snooze. Guest suite – garden level The only bedroom on the ground level has the advantage of its own separate entrance across the courtyard garden, as well as a private deck tucked away out of sight. So it’s perfect for independent-minded teens or older relatives who are happy to avoid the stairs. LIVING AREAS Indoor living A feature of the Amilla Villa Estate is the prodigious number of sea-vista living zones – from air-conditioned entertainment areas that can host a full house to cosy away-from-the-crowd corners. All garden level living areas open onto the pool deck; the sliding glass doors can be left open for fan-assisted tropical living, or closed for air-conditioned comfort. With three walls of glass opening onto the pool deck, the living lounge is flooded with natural light. A creamy colour palette, sheer curtains, elegant sofas and designer leather chairs create a calming oasis at the very heart of the villa. Those wanting less peace and quiet can fill the space with music courtesy the multi-zone Marantz sound system, or settle into a movie on the 60-inch TV with satellite channels and DVD player. In the dining room, ten upholstered chairs gather around a teakwood table opposite a well-stocked service bar – the perfect spot for a formal dinner in air-conditioned comfort. For casual snacking there’s a breakfast counter within the large semi-open-plan kitchen – exceptionally well equipped with countless culinary gadgets including wine fridge and Nespresso coffee maker. Teens and kids may well gravitate to the cinema and games rooms, conveniently sited a hop and skip from the pool. PlayStation 4 and diverse board games will keep them occupied, and there’s no need to argue over the choice of movie as there’s a large screen TV and DVD player in both. Four walls of white plantation shutters filter the bright tropical light into the library/study; with its iMac and printer, plus a small selection of books, this restful space will appeal to kids of all ages. Arguably more relaxing is the spa room with twin massage tables, separate sauna/steam room, and beach-edge air-conditioned gym with Life fitness equipment including state-of-the-art running machine, G7 workout machine, weights and bench. Outdoor living The focus of the Amilla Villa Estate is the huge 20 x 8-metre lagoon-style pool, set in a teakwood deck that spans the full width of the villa. Here, loungers are sunk into a shallow section for the ultimate chilled sunbathing experience. Eight more sun loungers lie on the beach of powdery white sand in front of the pool, and hammocks sway among the palms. To one side is the sea-breeze-cooled outdoor dining lounge and bar – designed for supine siestas sprawled on the modular sofa, and elegant dinners in the glow of candlelight. On the other side of the garden, a jacuzzi set into the beachfront deck promises warm bubbly dips under a canopy of stars, perhaps after a rooftop sundowner cocooned in a loveseat on the sunset deck/cocktail lounge. For private alfresco living, the six bedrooms offer quiet areas of relaxation on sea-view balconies and decks.
