The Amilla Maldives Resort & Residences have received great acclaim at the Experientialist Awards 2026, winning one of two awards in the category “Most OutThere Initiative in Inclusive Travel”. Such an award becomes an important landmark in the development of the hotel, especially after last year’s “Highly Commended” nomination in the same category. The Experientialist® Awards, hosted by the OutThere organisation, recognises people and companies that revolutionise the world of travel through their innovative achievements. The awards put special focus on inclusiveness, individuality, and guests’ experience, showing the best examples of luxury and travel that transcend traditional boundaries.
The category “Inclusive Travel” rewards those who create opportunities for people of all backgrounds and preferences to travel. It evaluates the inclusivity not only of facilities but also the overall travel experience. Here at Amilla Maldives, inclusivity does not simply get treated as an afterthought, and it is embedded in our approach from the very beginning until the time a guest leaves the resort. When booking stays here, guests receive personalized attention from our team members as we make it our point to know what each client may need during their stay at the resort.
Our efforts here are driven by the Inclusiveness philosophy we have at Amilla Maldives Resort & Villas, known under the banner of "In Harmony with Purpose". Guests here will enjoy thoughtful designs of accessible villas, convenient and carefully planned walking paths, and a diverse range of adapted activities, including swimming in the sea, snorkelling in our lagoons, as well as attending various wellness sessions. As one of the IncluCare verified resorts, we take our work seriously. We constantly gather feedback from our guests to improve upon our offerings. We collaborate with industry experts in the field to make sure we always have something new to offer to our guests.
When it comes to the recognition, Morgan Martinello revealed that this award is based on the success achieved last year. It is thanks to the continuous work that goes into creating an inclusive atmosphere, where each and every visitor can feel comfortable. Being recognized once again by OutThere only enhances the reputation of Amilla Maldives as a progressive resort. It goes beyond being another award and turns out to be one of the steps towards making luxury travel more accessible and enjoyable.
