Installed within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, The Nautilus Maldives is a sanctuary of luxury and tranquillity that makes guests feel as though they are on their own private island. This intimate, bohemian hideaway, with only 26 beach and overwater houses, promises an unparalleled experience of relaxation, where guests can unplug from the world, and recharge in paradise.
From the moment of arrival, The Nautilus captures visitors’ senses with its blend of natural beauty and bespoke luxury. Established in 2019 by a Maldivian entrepreneur with a vision to create an island of freedom, the hotel has quickly gained a reputation for offering one of the most exclusive and personalised experiences in the Maldives. This experience kicks off the moment guests step on a seaplane flight from Malé after a 30-minute flight that offers breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and coral reefs below, before alighting in this very secluded paradise
The Nautilus is designed to make every guest feel like a castaway on their own private island. The houses, crafted from natural materials and adorned with local art, provide a sense of barefoot luxury that is both sophisticated and relaxed. Each house comes with a dedicated House Master, available 24/7 to cater to every whim, ensuring a thoroughly bespoke experience. The sense of privacy is paramount, with each residence secluded from the others, allowing guests to unwind in their own serene space.
The Nautilus is committed to the ideas of freedom and flexibility. There are no schedules or dress codes, and guests are encouraged to do as they please – when they please. This ethos extends to the dining experiences, where there are no set meal times, and guests can choose to dine anywhere on the island. The resort’s three restaurants offer a culinary journey that spans the globe, with menus that can be tailored to individual tastes. From gourmet breakfasts served on the beach to private dinners under the stars, every meal is an event to be savoured.
The spa services at The Nautilus are designed to enhance the sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. The Solasta Spa, with its overwater treatment pavilions, offers a range of therapies that draw on both modern and traditional wellness practices. The bespoke treatments are tailored to each guest’s needs, ensuring a deeply personalised and restorative experience. From relaxing massages to invigorating facials, the skilled therapists create a temple of wellness that leaves guests feeling refreshed and revitalised.
Unplugging and unwinding at The Nautilus is effortless. The serene environment, coupled with the exceptional service, allows guests to leave behind the stresses of daily life and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Maldives. Whether lounging by the private infinity pool, exploring the vibrant coral reefs, or simply enjoying a quiet moment on the beach, the experience is one of pure relaxation and bliss.
At The Nautilus Maldives, the concept of living on a desert island is re-envisioned in the most luxurious manner possible, making each guest feel as if getting lost for a bit is exactly the right decision.
