"Consistently lauded as one of the region’s best escapes, The Nautilus Maldives boasts just 26 breathtaking accommodations alongside ambitiously unscripted dining and world-class amenities."

Easily one of the Maldives’ most coveted getaways, The Nautilus is a paradisial escape with the amenities to match. Set in the breathtaking Baa Atoll, this ultra-exclusive resort feels a world away – despite being just a 30-minute seaplane flight from the capital city of Malé.

Just 26 private accommodations make up the resort’s collection, all of which are located either on the beach or overwater. These luxurious digs come in the form of houses, residences and one utterly to-die-for mansion. Though you cannot possibly make a bad choice at The Nautilus, we find the overwater options to be the most magnificent of all; one look at the views is all it takes to see why. Each and every one of the accommodations boasts its own pool alongside a host of other ultra-indulgent perks. Whimsical interiors are playful and inspiring, and the neutral, sandy shades of the walls and floors are offset by brilliant bursts of nautical hues. The eight houses set overwater are particularly impressive...   Show more

Just 26 private accommodations make up the resort’s collection, all of which are located either on the beach or overwater. These luxurious digs come in the form of houses, residences and one utterly to-die-for mansion. Though you cannot possibly make a bad choice at The Nautilus, we find the overwater options to be the most magnificent of all; one look at the views is all it takes to see why. Each and every one of the accommodations boasts its own pool alongside a host of other ultra-indulgent perks. Whimsical interiors are playful and inspiring, and the neutral, sandy shades of the walls and floors are offset by brilliant bursts of nautical hues. The eight houses set overwater are particularly impressive thanks to glass sections of the living room floor that are entirely see-through and allow guests to peer down at the aquatic world beneath their feet. Thatched roofs, wooden boardwalks and picture-perfect white sand beaches complete the idyllic scene.

When it comes to dining, The Nautilus takes a proudly ‘off-script’ approach. Guests are encouraged to eat whatever they want, whenever they want, and the resort's attentive staff are ready to cater to each and every whim. So go ahead and order breakfast for dinner (or dinner for breakfast) or – if you prefer a more conventional approach to eating and drinking – venture to one of the property’s several delightful venues. Zeytoun is The Nautilus’ signature restaurant, and there you’ll find an enchanting blend of refined Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. The ambient Ocaso focuses on Japanese, Peruvian and Mexican flavours in a stunning alfresco location, while all-day gourmet dining in a beach house location can be found at Thyme.

Amenities at the resort are unequalled, with enchanting opportunities that cater to every guest imaginable. Adventurous individuals will have the opportunity to Scuba dive in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve or enjoy all manner of watersports (including glass-bottomed kayaking) on top of the waves. Charter a private luxury boat for big-game fishing, or enjoy a romantic movie night under the stars on a private candlelit sandbank. At day’s end, recharge with a visit to Solasta Spa: a heavenly hideaway that features three glass-bottomed overwater treatment pavilions.
