Escape to The Nautilus Maldives: A Luxury Resort Offering Unscripted and Liberating Holiday Experience

The Nautilus Maldives is an exclusive luxury resort that offers a unique and unscripted holiday experience. Located on a small island in the Baa Atoll, The Nautilus is designed to remind guests of the freedom they often forget they have; the freedom to wake up without an alarm, the freedom to decide to have breakfast at noon, the freedom to not rush and enjoy every moment.

As soon as you set foot on this tiny island, after an exciting 30-minute seaplane journey from Male, you will instantly feel like you have entered a new world. A super luxurious island hideaway, where you are encouraged not to look at the time, dine whenever you feel like it and order anything and everything your palate desires. Every member of staff is there to ensure that your experience on the island is as laid-back as possible and that all your wishes are turned into reality.

In terms of style, The Nautilus is exactly what your Maldivian dreams are made of – luxury, bohemian ambience across the whole island. Inviting thatched pavilions are peppered across the island, where you can find every comfort imaginable. The resort is home to 26 overwater and beach houses and residences, all with a private pool and direct access to the house reef. The vibe is relaxed and chic –  high ceilings, handmade bead chandeliers, earthy tones, accent colours and eclectic decorative elements. Upscale meets boho – in the best possible way. Your house master will ensure that everything in your island home is personalized to your taste – from the books and movies selection to the temperature of the pool water and everything in between. For a true taste of luxury and some added extras, book one of the residences or the three-bedroom mansion, which is undoubtedly the jewel in The Nautilus crown.

The Nautilus offers its guests four equally inviting restaurant options – and none of them has set opening or closing times. Breakfast is served all day at the all-day dining Thyme restaurant and is a mix of buffet and a cook-to-order menu. Classics like avocado toast, porridge and eggs are served next to sushi and Latin American-influenced dishes. The buffet options change every day and guests can sample the two ‘juices of the day’ along with their coffee.

The unscripted set-up extends to the other three restaurants too. Although they all have their own menus and serve different cuisines, guests are encouraged to order whatever they feel like and enjoy it wherever they want – all chefs would be happy to quickly whip up your desired dish, while the attentive and smiley waiters can speedily bring it to your chosen location. An experience you can’t afford to miss is the beach cinema outside of Thyme. Choose your favourite film and the team will happily arrange for its screening on the beach, while you enjoy your dinner under the starry Maldivian sky, followed by the mandatory popcorn one can’t go to the cinema without.

Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food lovers will be in raptures over Zeytoun, which offers a fine-dining twist to both cuisines, but still sticks to the island’s relaxed and come-as-you-are feel. Located over the water, the restaurant’s carefully curated menu features a scrumptious selection of beautifully presented dishes showcasing the best of the two cuisines. The lounge on the upper deck is the perfect stop for a sunset Aperitivo or a drink to finish off the evening with. It is also home to the biggest gin and whisky collection in the Maldives.

But The Nautilus is not just about the dining and accommodation, the resort also offers a wide range of activities to keep guests entertained. The house reef is a perfect spot for snorkeling and diving, with a rich marine life and colorful coral gardens. The resort also offers water sports like kayaking, windsurfing and paddle-boarding. For a more relaxing activity, guests can take a yoga class or indulge in a spa treatment.

One of the most unique experiences offered by this luxury resort is the opportunity to take a Dhoni, a traditional Maldivian boat, and explore the surrounding islands, lagoons and beaches. Guests can also take a fishing trip and catch their own dinner. The resort also offers a range of excursions such as island hopping, dolphin watching, and visiting a local village.

Additionally, The Nautilus Maldives also caters to families, providing a range of activities and facilities for children. The Kids' Club offers a variety of fun and educational activities, such as arts and crafts, games, and nature discovery. The Nautilus also offers a variety of family-friendly accommodation options, such as two-bedroom houses and villas, perfect for families traveling together.

The Nautilus Maldives is also the perfect destination for couples, offering a romantic and secluded setting for a honeymoon or anniversary getaway. The resort's overwater villas provide the perfect setting for a candlelit dinner, and the spa's couples treatments allow for relaxation and rejuvenation together.

Overall, The Nautilus is a resort that caters to all types of travelers, whether you are a family, a couple, or a solo traveler looking for an unscripted luxury Maldives holiday experience. With its stunning surroundings, top-notch amenities, and unparalleled service, The Nautilus truly stands out among the many luxury resorts in the Maldives.
