A world of your own making
Wander into a world of your own making at The Nautilus Maldives, an ultra-luxury private island hideaway. Located in the heart of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that is home to the world-renowned Hanifaru Bay, our natural island is enveloped by white sandy beaches fringed with palm trees, and encircled by a vibrant coral house reef. It is a paradise where time stands still, and endless possibilities of free-spirited experiences await couples, families and friends.
Designed with an eco-conscious vision and an authentic, bohemian flair, and featuring just 26 beach or ocean houses and residences, The Nautilus is the only resort in the Maldives that offers a unique private island experience – without the need for an exclusive buyout. Staying at our ultra-luxe hideaway means you will experience complete privacy and absolute freedom from the shackles of time, schedules, or dress codes. Your intimate island sanctuary is one that offers the comforts of home and personalised butler service from a dedicated House Master, taking bespoke luxury to a new level. And, of course, with such a limited number of island abodes, The Nautilus is also ideal for exclusive buyouts of the entire island.
As you step onto the shores of The Nautilus, surrounded by crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean and awe-inspiring views of the Maldivian sunset, you are welcomed by the gentle brush of the sea salt breeze against your sun-warmed skin. With over 20,000 dhun’gethi bushes, exquisite natural surroundings like these call for a continuous commitment to sustainability and responsible luxury tourism that leaves a minimal impact on our environment, a commitment we carry out through mindful activities and conservation efforts that invite guests to participate and foster a deeper connection with the destination and the community from neighbouring local islands.
Centred on The Nautilus’s philosophy of providing a haven of freedom, the guest experience is one of liberation at every turn. Here, time stands still–everything is possible at any time: There are no clocks, no schedules, no opening or closing times. At The Nautilus, every moment is fluid, allowing guests to fully escape from the stresses of daily life. Narratives unfold without itinerary and without inhibition.
In each of The Nautilus’s three restaurants and two bars, our world-class chefs and mixologists relish the chance to explore culinary creativity to cater to the individual whims and wishes of each guest. We are not afraid to go completely off-script, keep the menus aside and create totally bespoke dining experiences that favour personal interaction and offer delightful surprises. Restaurant menus are mere suggestions; guests can order any dish from any restaurant and enjoy it anywhere. The unscripted dining concept allows guests freedom with their dining choices and an abundance of dishes to taste while on holiday.
Our private island’s overwater Solasta Spa provides bespoke wellness journeys, holistic spa treatments, yoga, meditation and a fully equipped gym at your convenience. At Young Wonderers, the island’s children’s club, we create tailor-made experiences that are holistic in nature yet rich in educational intention for families and young guests.
The Nautilus is a destination where we cater to your every desire anytime, anywhere. From highly personalised, heartfelt hospitality to customised, free-spirited experiences, we welcome you to the ultimate ultra-luxury bohemian holiday. Here, you are invited to write your own narrative in a space of your own, embrace the freedom to create cherished moments and embark on a journey of discovery and wonder.
Welcome to a world of your own making.
