The Nautilus has been celebrated as one of the top five resorts in the Indian Ocean in the 2024 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. With just 26 exquisitely private boho-chic island houses and residences, The Nautilus offers a rare escape—a private island experience unlike any other in the Maldives, without the need for an exclusive buyout. This intimate island sanctuary elevates bespoke luxury to new heights, offering unparalleled space and absolute privacy.
The Freedom to Simply Be
At The Nautilus, every moment is a personal masterpiece, an exquisite symphony crafted to the unique desires of each guest. Here, there are no schedules, no fixed menus—only the blissful freedom to indulge in life’s finest pleasures at a rhythm that is uniquely yours. Embracing an “anytime, anywhere, as you please” philosophy, this intimate retreat lifts the burden of time, allowing you to drift freely through each day. You dine when your spirit hungers, explore when your heart beckons, and unwind as your soul craves—all without limits or boundaries.
Where Time Stands Still
One of the most enchanting aspects of The Nautilus is the liberation from time itself. Here, the usual ticking of clocks falls silent—no watches, no schedules, only the gentle rhythm of the moment guiding your every whim. Whether you’re savouring a leisurely breakfast under the morning sun, slipping into a spontaneous spa retreat, or diving into the vibrant depths of the Maldivian sea, there is no set hour for delight. Each day unfolds as a reflection of your desires, and every experience dances freely, untethered by routine. Restaurants, spa treatments, and diving excursions are open whenever you are ready.
Unscripted Dining
Dining at The Nautilus goes beyond the ordinary. Here, unscripted dining is the norm, where menus are only suggestions, and creativity knows no boundaries. Whether you crave pizza by the pool or fine dining on the beach, the choice is entirely yours. Each meal is a celebration of your preferences and culinary surprises. Every detail, every dish, is crafted to suit each guest, making dining not just a meal, but a reflection of who you are.
Free-Spirited Adventures
The Nautilus offers a world where liberation and adventure intertwine, shaping experiences that linger long after the moment has passed. Here, every instant invites those with a thirst for once-in-a-lifetime thrills. Boundaries fade away, leaving only the endless possibilities to explore the extraordinary. Whether you’re gliding across the ocean on a private yacht or diving into the crystal-clear depths, each encounter is curated around your own rhythm and desire for discovery. Just a short yacht ride away, the majestic manta rays await, dancing in their timeless waltz at the protected waters of Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where nature unfolds its most breathtaking wonders.
Comforts of Home
The 26 boho-chic houses and residences at The Nautilus are more than just luxury accommodations—they are your home away from home, offering total exclusivity and privacy. Designed for families, couples, and intimate gatherings, each residence is a sanctuary of comfort, offering personalised touches that make every guest feel uniquely at ease. Upon arrival, your House Master (dedicated butler) will already know your preferences, ensuring your stay is tailored exactly to your needs. From the smallest details to larger requests, every aspect of your island home is designed to reflect your lifestyle and wishes.
The Art of Bohemia
At The Nautilus, we embrace the art of living freely. Our passion for art, music, and literature is woven into the fabric of the guest experience. The island’s design is an eclectic mix of bohemian interiors, where flamboyant colours blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Here, there are no rules, only the freedom to be yourself. Come as you are—barefoot, relaxed, and completely yourself. Each evening, guests are invited to join us for sunset cocktails at a different secret location, whether on the beach, by the pool, or in a secluded spot on the island. Your House Master will always know where to take you for a perfect evening.
