Plumped pretty in the heart of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Nautilus Maldives is a one-resort, ultra-luxury private island surrounded by the natural beauty of Hanifaru Bay, making it a serene and exclusive destination for sun-seekers wanting to create bucket-list memories. With a focus on an ‘anywhere, anytime’ philosophy, schedules are thrown out the window letting unscripted adventures unfold. Ideal for families travelling en-masse, the resort’s multi-generational vision means the island experience caters for all ages, gifting guests the rarest of treasures: time to disconnect and reconnect in paradise.
The adventure starts as soon as you touch down at Velana International Airport, with The Nautilus’ own private seaplane whisking you over cerulean waters to Thiladhoo Island, where you can check into one of just 26 beach and ocean houses and residences, each with their own living room, dedicated butler service and private infinity pool. The two-bedroom overwater and beach residences tick all the right boxes for smaller families, while The Nautilus Mansion, with its three bedrooms, is perfect for the utmost privacy and a sense of freedom for the whole family.
Once unpacked, kick off your shoes and relinquish yourself to laid-back island life, with picnics on a secluded sandbank, snorkelling with Manta Rays at Hanifaru Bay, private yacht cruises as the sun sets and yoga sessions as the sun rises, beach barbecues and movies under the stars... You can slow things down with spa treatments or rev things up with big game fishing, come together for a family cooking class, or let the kids run wild at the Young Wonderers Club. Family time will never feel more precious or purpose-filled than here.
