Created with the new generation of luxury traveller in mind, The Nautilus Maldives is truly unique. Your experience begins on the runway at Velana International Airport, where every guest is taken directly from the plane to a VIP terminal in the airport, for a relaxed customs and immigration clearance. From there it’s just a short hop on the resort’s own seaplane to Baa Atoll. On landing, the astounding natural beauty of the environment envelopes you and the stresses of everyday life fall away. This privately owned island sits in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere reserve and is skirted by impossibly clear waters and the whitest of sands. The resort’s philosophy is driven by the absolute desire to ensure guests forget the outside world and reconnect with their inner-self, family and nature. In order to achieve this, your House Master (Butler) will ensure all you could desire, is readily available. Restaurants that never close, menus are a starting point for discussion with the award winning chefs who will customise their offering to suit your palate.

Guests may select from Middle Eastern, Japanese, Mediterranean, and South American delicacies, and meals can be enjoyed by your pool, in bed or wherever your heart desires. The ‘Houses and Residences’ are so casually sumptuous, you may never wish to venture out.

Each of the 26 houses is exquisitely designed with custom ‘Boho-Chic’ furnishings and fittings. All offer separate bedrooms, large living areas, and private temperature controlled swimming pools. Choose from the over-the-water luxury of ocean houses or beach houses hidden among swaying palms and tropical greenery.

Bespoke activities abound. Take a midnight swim in phosphorescent waters beside a marine biologist, explore deserted islands by yacht, swim with Manta rays or join daily sunrise yoga. Rejuvenate at the Solasta Spa, which specialises in the design of wellness programs and daily rituals which refresh and relax, pamper and protect, or craft your own path to restoration. Simply divine.
