Amilla Maldives Lives up to Reputation as ‘Island of Surprises' this Valentine's Day

Amilla Maldives valentine's day
Amilla Maldives has lined up three consecutive nights of entertainment and celebrations beginning on 12th February for Valentine's Day.

Music truly is the food of love at Amilla Maldives this Valentine’s Day. The Baa Atoll resort has lined up three consecutive nights of entertainment and celebrations, beginning on 12th February and building up to the big night on 14th February 2021. Featuring live performances, dancing, sumptuous food and private starlit experiences, every night brings new surprises.

Building up to Valentine’s Day, couples at Amilla Maldives can plant a tree in the Mystique Garden to celebrate their relationship, let their creative passions flow at a ‘sip and paint guided painting session with wine, or watch a romantic movie at the open-air Secret Cinema on either the 12th or 13th.

Amilla’s new Executive Chef, Andrew Smith, has also designed a very special new sensory experience. Some like it hot, some like it melted, some like it fruity and some – well, some just like it! The Amilla Chocolate Journey – taking place in Amilla’s dedicated Chocolate Room – guides couples on an exploration of the island’s exquisite handmade chocolates.

These delectable concoctions are matched with champagne, wine and port to complement their flavour and tantalise the tastebuds. A perfect afternoon delight to get guests in the mood for a romantic dinner. As a symbol of love and passion, it seems perfect timing to launch the new chocolate experience for Valentine’s Day, but it will be an ongoing part of the resort’s colourful happenings and activities.

‘Valentine’s Day Date Night’ on the 14th begins with a cocktail party on the beach with champagne, bespoke cocktails and canapes, as the sun sets over the glittering ocean at Amilla Maldives. Guests’ love messages to each-other will be written in the sand surrounding ‘’them. Dancers and a traditional Maldivian Bodu Beru’ (‘big drum’) band will provide entrancing performances.

Then each couple departs for a private ‘Dine by Design’ dinner. The private dining experiences feature a delectable three-course set menu. A cushion-filled nook hollowed out on the beach, surrounded by lanterns. A candlelit private table in the main pool’s sunken island. A special meal at Amilla’s over-water signature restaurant or rustic Italian brasserie. These are just four of a total of six romantic locations to choose from.
