“Your luxury bohemian hideaway in the Maldives. A top ranked resort in the world and considered the pinnacle of experiences in the Indian Ocean.”
Imagine a pristine coral island fringed by turquoise waters and kissed by endless sunshine. That's The Nautilus, nestled amidst the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Escape the bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature in this idyllic setting.
The resort's design embodies barefoot luxury, blending contemporary elegance with bohemian whimsy. Whitewashed beachfront houses with thatched roofs and natural textures create a laid-back yet sophisticated ambiance. Relax on spacious terraces with private pools, gaze at starry skies from open-air bathrooms, and let the gentle ocean breeze lull you into tranquility.
Choose from 26 meticulously designed Beach and Ocean Houses, each a personalized sanctuary. King-size beds adorned with crisp linens invite restful slumber, while expansive living areas and private pools guarantee ultimate relaxation. Ocean Houses offer direct access to the turquoise waters, blurring the lines between your room and paradise.

The Nautilus throws away the rulebook on dining. Forget rigid menus and set schedules. Instead, embark on a bespoke culinary journey tailored to your every whim. Three vibrant restaurants – Zetytoun (Mediterranean and Arabic fusion), Ocaso (Japanese and Latin American creations), and Thyme (global delicacies) – serve as starting points for your personalized dining adventures. Enjoy private candlelit dinners on the beach, intimate chef's tables, or impromptu picnics under the palm trees. The choice is yours.
Beyond pure relaxation, The Nautilus offers a wealth of activities for adventurous souls. Explore the vibrant coral reefs through snorkeling or diving excursions, embark on dolphin-watching boat trips, or cast your line for a delicious catch. If wellness is your focus, immerse yourself in rejuvenating spa treatments or practice yoga on the beach as the sun paints the sky with vibrant hues.
At The Nautilus, it's all about celebrating individuality. Every experience is crafted to your desires, every detail considered to ensure your utmost comfort and enjoyment. Your dedicated House Master becomes your personal genie, fulfilling your wishes and ensuring your stay is truly unforgettable. Whether you seek romance under the stars, family adventures in the sun, or simply to reconnect with yourself in a stunning natural paradise, The Nautilus Maldives Resort offers a haven of personalized luxury and endless possibilities.

Access the Island by these methods:
Fly to Malé International Airport (MLE): Most international visitors to the Maldives arrive at Malé International Airport, also known as Velana International Airport.
Transfer to the Resort: After arriving in Malé, you'll typically need to take a seaplane or a speedboat transfer to reach your specific resort. Some resorts in the Maldives may be accessible by a domestic flight followed by a speedboat transfer.
Seaplane Transfer: If your resort is located on an atoll and offers seaplane transfers, you will likely board a seaplane at Malé International Airport for a scenic flight to the resort.
Speedboat Transfer: Some resorts, especially those closer to Malé or on nearby atolls, may offer speedboat transfers from Malé to the resort.

The island offers a unique and flexible approach to dining, without set menus or specific restaurants with designated cuisines.
