Hotel information
The Nautilus Maldives invites you to step into a world of your own creation, where the beauty of this ultra-luxury private island unfolds right at your doorstep. Situated in the heart of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the resort is surrounded by stunning white sandy beaches and vibrant coral reefs, all meticulously preserved.
These private sanctuaries, comprising 26 island houses and residences, offer unrivalled space, privacy, and a sense of calm. The eco-conscious, bohemian-inspired design blends seamlessly with the island’s natural wonders, creating a luxurious yet organic retreat.
Wake up to the gentle rhythm of the waves and bask in sun-drenched spaces, from expansive living rooms and dining areas to private sun decks and infinity pools. Here, every moment is yours to savour, with daily inclusions like tailor-made breakfasts, full butler service, sunrise yoga, and sundowner cocktails at the Naiboli pool bar.
At The Nautilus, freedom is key. There are no rigid itineraries, fixed dining hours, or set schedules – you can dine anytime, anywhere, and even create your own menus. Indulge in globally inspired cuisine, unwind at the overwater Solasta Spa, or embark on underwater adventures. For young guests, there are enriching activities, from the Young Wonderers program for children to educational experiences for teens.
This is your sanctuary. Create your own journey of discovery and wonder in a place where time stands still.
Room Options
The Nautilus is comprised of 26 'boho-chic' island houses and residences, each enclosing its own version of paradise. Spacious bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, separate living rooms, a wide sundeck and a private temperature-controlled infinity pool are just some of the perks you’ll find inside. For any personal tweaks, your private butler will be ready and waiting to accommodate.
Ocean Houses with a Private Infinity Pool
At the Ocean House, you exist free of time, with only sunset and dawn to mark the passing of days. A sundeck reaches out to the horizon, with steps that lead you down to the lagoon, while your own private infinity pool blends with the ocean’s blues. Revel in the intimate seclusion of a one-bedroom suite for two. Or connect with your clan in a residence of abundant space and privacy.
Beach Houses with a Private Infinity Pool
9 beautiful Beach Houses border the shores, containing interiors as expansive, and dreamy, as the nearby sea. A sophisticated oval bedroom, separate living room and wide private sundeck are just some of the features comprising this luxurious paradise, along with an infinity pool and carefully manicured gardens.
Ocean Residences with a Private Infinity Pool
Perched upon the shimmering lagoons, the two Ocean Residences’ smooth wood-panelled surfaces gleam beneath the sun. These pleasing sights extend to the inside, where custom furnishings and lavish decorations comprise a stunning home away from home. Enjoy a spacious living room, a large bedroom, a dining room, powder room and wet bar, along with a private sundeck and infinity pool.

If you want to take your workout into the great outdoors, you can use The Nautilus’ surrounding waters to enjoy a range of non-motorised water sports, including snorkelling sessions, for which the resort provides equipment.
Sustainability Initiatives & Responsible Tourism
The Nautilus takes a holistic approach to sustainability. Focusing on the empowerment of local talent to create a positive working environment and featuring the largest green wall in the Indian Ocean, the resort implements various eco-friendly initiatives. During your stay, you’ll be offered the opportunity to adopt a coral frame to help preserve the reefs and can participate in an array of Maldivian traditions. Whether it’s visiting a local island or exploring a historic museum, culture is incorporated into as many experiences as possible. Not only that, but the resort operates on an environmentally smart basis as well – from ocean-approved chemical free cleaning products to replacing plastic with reclaimed wood.
Seriously Special
The Nautilus is all about making special memories for families to share, with exclusive tailor-made experiences that simply can’t be forgotten. Sail the seas in a luxury yacht for an impromptu adventure. Take a dive into deep blue waters, or host a private party in your beach house, complete with live music, fresh seafood, and the people you hold most dear. Or make the most of a private cinema screening on a distant sandbank under starry skies.
