Bespoke Culinary Journeys
Wine Tasting on a Sandbank

We’ll whisk you from The Nautilus to a distant sandbank. An aromatic world of crisp fruity notes and fully-bodied flavors, accompanied by a selection of canapés. The Nautilus team will arrange a lavish spread of refreshments and a private fine dining in Maldives that complemented by a selection of wines specifically chosen by the sommelier to suit your preferences and to complement the mood of the day.

Sandbank Barbecue

We’ll whisk you across crystal waters by speedboat, yacht or even a seaplane. Enjoy a private barbecue dinner on a secluded sandbank in the stunning Baa Atoll.  As dinner is prepared, you’ll lounge on the beach under the shade of an impromptu shelter with drinks and hors d’oeuvres. A dream catcher flutters in the breeze as the tantalizing aroma of grilled seafood signals that dinner is ready. At this point, it’s time to take your seat at your private table with panoramic views of turquoise waters and a glorious sunset.

Private Dining

Dine in the freedom of your own private home, with a menu tailored to your personal tastes and preferences. Seconds, thirds, dessert – all at your discretion. A live band plays acoustic music well into the night, as a wash of stars ignite the sky.

Breakfast aboard a Luxury Yacht

Breakfast for two – or a few – under the wide embrace of the Maldivian. Served any way you like it, at any time you please. The unparalleled Baa Atoll is your dining room. Rise at your leisure and meet us at the pier. Once you’re ready, we’ll welcome you aboard the Nautilus One, a luxury yacht that doubles as the morning’s dining room. Once you’re out to sea, your attendants will serve an indulgent breakfast as you tour the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

Pop-up Bar

Any hour of the day or night, your house master can prepare a pop-up bar in your own private house. Cocktails, mocktails, spritzers, fresh juices – you call the shots, as your butler mixes the drinks. Served anywhere you please, on your sundeck, in the infinity pool or even in bed.
Free Spirited Experiences
Movie Under the Stars

Imagine being swept away to a secluded sandbank in the cradle of the glorious Baa Atoll, for a private screening where you and your loved ones are the only people in the world who’ve been invited. We’ll set up an elegant private cinema, projecting any film you desire – from the latest release to a timeless classic. Snacks and beverages will be arranged by the culinary team, and the screening can be as long or brief as you desire. This is showtime on your time, and with absolutely no distractions.

Manta Ray Dance at Hanifaru Bay

Experience Hanifaru Bay manta season and commune with the majestic manta rays. You can join them in their own whirling dervish – a timeless dance they’ve performed here for ages. Hanifaru Bay is just 15 minutes away from Nautilus by speedboat, but visiting feels as if you’re left this world altogether. The marine biology team will guide you to waters where these gentle giants swim in seemingly choreographed arcs, and you can join in the dance equipped with a snorkel and fins.

Big Game Fishing

Big-game fishing adventures in the Maldives are a one-of-a-kind adventure and the best things to do, especially in Baa Atoll. The Nautilus allows you to take part in this traditional Maldivian adventure in absolute comfort. The team of experts will design an outing based on your skill level and experience. You can go fishing inshore for barracuda, grouper, snapper and emperors. Or we’ll lead you offshore to pursue wahoo, swordfish, marlin and tuna. Half-day and full-day adventures are available.

Baa Adventures on a Private Luxury Seaplane

Experience the top things to do in Maldives with the thrill and liberation of soaring over shimmering seas in your private seaplane. The Nautilus has its own private, 15-passenger seaplane that is available for charter at any time. Whether it’s a quick transfer to a nearby sandbank, an excursion to a remote island for snorkeling or a return trip to Malé – we can tailor the flight plan to meet your needs.

Somewhere along your journey, two became one and a timeless love story began. Whether this love is a newly kindled spark or a still-strong burning fire, The Nautilus offers inspirational settings to celebrate your eternal love.

    • Must Visit this one!

      This resort opened about a year ago and wow, it’s certainly got to be one of the best exclusive resorts in the Maldives. We have visited about 10 Islands now in the Maldives and this one is up there with the best if the exclusive ones as it has everything we could have hoped for. It is friendly, has its own luxury sea-plane and super luxury boats. It really has everything you would want for a romantic retreat, being one of those exclusive Smaller Island with 37 luxurious water and beach villas of various types to suit family’s and couples its keeps that exclusive feel, it’s very romantic and quiet but with everything you need and more , great Restruante’s , super cocktail bars and lots of complimentary extra nice touches that I won’t spoil it by saying, other than to say, you will not be disappointed when visiting this Island as it really has brought together everything that is great about the Maldives. We would not hesitate to go back to this Island for another trip as it will be hard to beat in the Maldives

    • Family holiday

      Due to last minute cancellation of our stay booked before ,we were offered a 6 night stay at the Nautilus Mansion,a huge 2 story 3 br beachhouse with large balcony and an extensive deck with plenty of seating and loungers and a very large freshwater pool.
      Despite this was not originally booked by us,we had a wonderful time.This tiny island is a tropical paradise.Food was good and freshly made and they were happy to prepare something else at your request.
      The staff,the GM and especially our housemaster Nappe were so genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable.
      The amenities in the house were the most luxurious and extensive we have ever had.From the free softdrinks at the minibar,the early morning cakes and fresh juice before going out for breakfast,the gilette shavingkit to a deluxe manicure set and Hermès and Penhaligon bath and bodyproducts in every bathroom.
      The kids enjoyed jetskiing,the seabob and the mattress pulled by the jetski.
      The snorkelling was excellent,the house reef was very close to the beach so very easy to reach,I saw a turtle and a black tip shark while snorkelling ,lots of schools of coloured fish and many different species.Also the coral seems healthy because of the huge amounts of fish everywhere.
      Every night at sunset,they serve complimentary cocktails and canapes and live music at Naiboli,which we found the place with the most tropical vibe and decor.

      If you like an intimate 5 star luxury resort with 6 star service than the Nautilus is the place to be.

    • Stay in paradise or coming home!

      We stayed in the resort in March this year the first time. When we arrived our housemaster Ibrahim picked us up. Already after the first minute with this absolutely sympathetic and loving man we knew, we decided on the right resort. The welcoming on the island by many loving employees was very cordial. Our children took Zara, the manager of the kids club, immediately in their hearts. We met Ashraf the GM and Shaheen one of the manager, both were absolutely fantastic and every day very helpful. Our beach house with the private pool was amazing and as well as the welcoming treatment from the chef. One of our daily highlights was the breakfast. Not only because of the delicious food. The absolute best team with Dora and Aathif took every morning with much love and dedication care of us and especially to our children. The dinner in all three restaurants was indescribably good. The spa area should definitely be visited. The perfect massages was more than relaxing.
      With this dreamlike stay it was not difficult for us to make our second holiday there in May. And in short, all the great moments, conversations and experiences from the first stay were topped with all these great people again. It was like coming home.
      Thank you for the wonderful time, especially Ibrahim, Dora and Aathif. We miss you all!
