Amilla Maldives Resort and the Olive Ridley Project

Amilla Maldives Resort

Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences is working with Maldives and UK registered sea turtle conservation organisation, the Olive Ridley Project to host a sea turtle biologist on-island. 

Working alongside Amilla’s own resident marine biologist, Zoe Cox, Maldivian Afrah Abdul Sathaar will be the first ORP sea turtle biologist to be based in the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll.

This is a prime spot for turtles to feed, play and nest. Afrah and the Amilla Maldives team will promote sea turtle conservation efforts by conducting research and educating guests and the local community on the importance of protecting marine life in the region. 

Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences is the only resort in the Maldives to be a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World’s Considerate Collection, an ethos-driven standard for actively sustainable luxury hotels. 

Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences is located on a large, verdant natural island in the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atol. 

Its 67 Villas and Residences are elevated clear water, among the treetops or along the shoreline.
