The resort has earned the Forbes Responsible Hospitality VERIFIED™ Badge 2025, been named Runner-Up for Best Hotel for Sustainability at the LLM Readers’ Travel Awards 2024, and received EarthCheck Silver Certification. These recognitions are a reflection of Amilla prioritising environmental stewardship, community engagement, and inclusivity.
Amilla Maldives is among the first 100 hotels globally to achieve the Forbes Responsible Hospitality VERIFIED™ Badge for 2025. This recognition follows last year’s honour as Responsible Hospitality Partner of the Year 2024 by Forbes Travel Guide.

“We are very happy to have achieved the VERIFIED,” said Narelle McDougall, General Manager of Amilla Maldives. “Our focus on sustainability and inclusivity is fundamental to who we are. We are committed to continually evolving to ensure that every guest feels welcomed, while also preserving the natural beauty of Baa Atoll.”
Amilla Maldives was also recognised as Runner-Up in the ‘Best Hotel for Sustainability’ category at the LLM Readers’ Travel Awards 2024. This accolade celebrates the resort’s continued innovation including a commitment to the Maldives Resilient Reefs Programme for sustainable reef fishing and efforts to reduce single-use plastics, all while promoting accessibility through its IncluCare certification.
“We are deeply grateful to the readers of LLM for this recognition,” McDougall shared. “This award inspires us to continue striving towards creating a harmonious balance between luxury, nature, and community.”
In another significant achievement, Amilla Maldives has received the fourth year of EarthCheck Silver Certification. This certification reflects the resort’s ongoing dedication to meeting rigorous environmental and social responsibility standards.
