Amilla Maldives has been recognized as a joint winner in the Most OutThere Initiative in Inclusive Travel at the Experientialist Awards 2026 by OutThere, building on last year’s Highly Commended mention in the same category.

Amilla, located in the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, views accessibility as part of the whole journey, not a separate feature. From initial discussions to time spent on the island, the team prioritizes understanding each individual guest and shaping their stay around what feels comfortable and possible, the resort said. 

Grounded in its 'In Harmony with Purpose' ethos, the resort has steadily developed experiences that feel intentional, accessible, and open to all. Thoughtfully designed villas, accessible pathways, and adaptive activities - from inclusive snorkelling to tailored wellness sessions - reflect a commitment to detail and care. 

As an IncluCare Verified resort, Amilla continues to evolve its approach, shaped by ongoing feedback, meaningful partnerships, and a genuine desire to broaden access to travel, the resort noted. 

“At Amilla, we believe meaningful travel should feel natural and unrestrictive,” said Morgan Martinello, General Manager of Amilla Maldives.

"To see this journey acknowledged again, following last year’s recognition, is something we hold with quiet gratitude.”

The Experientialist Awards spotlight leaders redefining travel with intention, blending inclusivity, individuality, and thoughtful design to create experiences that resonate on a personal level. The Inclusive Travel category recognizes those who move beyond accessibility to consider how each journey is felt, navigated, and remembered.
