The Nautilus, Baa Atoll

Time seems to have come to a standstill at this dreamy Maldivian hideaway. At the Nautilus, island luxury and personalised service are taken to a whole new level.

From the moment you disembark from the seaplane at the Nautilus, you’ll feel the stresses of modern life slip away. You’ll be shown to one of the resort’s 26 beach and overwater houses, each its own little sanctuary with private butler service, swimming pools and freestanding tubs. Dining is a laidback affair, with no opening or closing times, no dress codes and no breakfast hours. Simply eat when you’re hungry from three excellent restaurants serving Asian, Mediterranean and Latin American fusion dishes.

With the whole of the island at your disposal, you can spend your days doing as little or as much as you like. Explore deserted islands by private yacht, enjoy daily yoga and meditation classes, try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding or take to the water in a see-through kayak. Located within the stunning Baa Atoll, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities are outstanding, with spectacular Hanifary Bay nearby and a rich coral reef just steps from the island’s shores.
