Amilla Maldives Creates Solo-Use Gym Pods to Allay Coronavirus Concerns

Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences have converted three of their spacious spa pods into private ‘gym pods’. Gym Pods can be fully customized with each guest’s preference of gym equipment – from elliptical trainers to weight machines and treadmills.

The new gym pods enable guests to exercise in their own private air-conditioned bubbles whilst remaining physically distanced from other guests, thereby greatly reducing opportunities for COVID-19 transmission. An added bonus is the pods also help high-profile guests such as A-list celebrities and international royalty to keep up their fitness routines in complete privacy.

The surfaces of the pods and every piece of equipment are thoroughly sanitized between guest bookings, and all guests are also given a free PCR test on arrival in the Maldives and temperature checks as they’re welcomed to the island as part of the resort’s safety protocols.

Amilla Islanders hope these innovations will help mitigate any concerns guests may have about working out while they’re on holiday. They form part of Amilla’s comprehensive COVID-19 prevention strategy that was implemented when the resort reopened to a limited number of private guests in mid-July.

Guests can also book for their personal use a one-hour slot at the main gym – which is also thoroughly cleaned between uses. If not, guests can discover the new outdoor ‘Jungle Gymnasium’. With a magnificent banyan tree at its heart, the Jungle Gymnasium exercise area features all kinds of exciting equipment and accessories such as climbing ropes, pull-up bars, a climbing net, and even a yoga trapeze.

Located under the shade of the jungle canopy, Amilla’s Jungle Gymnasium offers ample space between each piece of equipment, which is meticulously cleaned after use. This fun new space for the young at heart reflects Amilla’s playful Maldivian spirit, whilst also providing practical solutions to the ‘new’ landscape of holidaying in 2020. It also has some of the best views of any gym in the world.

Make the Most of Summer in Maldives with Villa Resorts Special Offer

Maldives Summer Offer at Villa Resorts

Villa Resorts rolls out its Summer Indulgence Offer, inviting travelers to enjoy up to 20% off a luxurious escape to the Maldives. This seasonal promotion opens the door to three unique island experiences, each one thoughtfully designed for a different kind of traveler. Guests can embrace the sleek, yacht-inspired elegance of Villa Nautica, dive into the eco-adventure lifestyle at Villa Park, or unwind in the secluded tranquility of Royal Island. Across all three destinations, Villa Resorts consistently delivers sunshine, style, and carefully curated moments that ultimately turn a simple holiday into something truly unforgettable.

Modern Island Style at Villa Nautica

Only 20 minutes by speedboat from Malé, Villa Nautica combines sleek, yacht-style design with a fresh, contemporary edge. Specifically, the resort immerses guests in oceanfront luxury, with villas perched along the shore or suspended over the water, many featuring private plunge pools that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. From the moment they arrive, guests eagerly jump into high-energy experiences—jet skiing across turquoise waves, parasailing above the horizon, or exploring vibrant coral reefs with expert PADI divers. Then, as day turns to dusk, the focus naturally shifts from thrill to tranquility. Subsequently, the Araamu Spa offers a peaceful sanctuary, where time-honored wellness therapies soothe the senses and recharge the spirit.

Nature and Discovery at Villa Park

Located in the South Ari Atoll, Villa Park combines a passion for adventure with a deep commitment to sustainability. Here, guests can swim alongside majestic whale sharks or enjoy quiet evenings beneath the stars, all within a resort that prioritizes eco-friendly practices. Moreover, dining becomes an experience at the treetop ZERO restaurant, where fresh produce from the resort’s own gardens takes center stage. Additionally, hands-on workshops like coconut crafting offer visitors a meaningful way to engage with the island’s culture and natural surroundings. In fact, every detail here encourages guests to connect deeply with nature and tradition.

Peace and Privacy at Royal Island

Tucked within the serene Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Royal Island offers a peaceful hideaway that embraces intimacy and nature. Towering palm trees sway above pristine lagoons, creating a soothing backdrop for slow, mindful days. Accordingly, guests find balance in the island’s rhythm—lounging beside the pool, strolling along quiet shores, or discovering marine life beneath the surface on guided dives. Meanwhile, the Araamu Spa deepens the sense of calm, with Ayurvedic treatments that restore both body and mind. Here, barefoot luxury flows effortlessly, inviting visitors to reconnect with themselves and the natural world around them.

Thoughtful Details Make Every Stay Special

Villa Resorts enhances every stay with thoughtful details designed to make guests feel truly valued. Upon arrival, those staying in Beach Pool or Overwater Villas receive a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, while guests in Residences and Suites are welcomed with a half bottle of Champagne. In addition, the resorts go above and beyond to honor special moments: couples celebrating anniversaries receive a personalized cake paired with sparkling wine, and birthday guests enjoy a festive cake alongside a bottle of wine. Furthermore, honeymooners, families, and guests on extended stays gain access to extra exclusive perks, ensuring that every visit feels uniquely crafted and memorable. Indeed, these personal touches elevate the entire experience.

A Limited-Time Chance to Experience the Maldives

The Summer Indulgence Offer runs through October 31, 2025, giving travelers plenty of time to plan. For those craving exhilarating adventures, deep rest, or a bit of both, Villa Nautica, Villa Park, and Royal Island deliver the kind of summer escape that stays with you long after you leave. Ultimately, this offer presents a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the beauty and luxury of the Maldives.
