Twenty-six houses and residences in Baa Atoll, each with a butler and a pool, on an island where nothing runs to a timetable.
Dieses Resortprofil gibt es vorerst nur auf Englisch.
The Nautilus is on Thiladhoo in Baa Atoll's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, within reach of Hanifaru Bay. It has just 26 houses and residences, each with a separate living room, its own pool and a butler, and the idea is that nothing runs to a timetable: menus are only suggestions, and meals can be had at any hour, anywhere on the island.
Nine Beach Houses (309 m²) with an oval bedroom and a Maldivian swing line the shore, and eight Ocean Houses (282 m²) with infinity pools stand in the lagoon. Two-storey Beach Residences, Ocean Residences, two-bedroom Beach Residences and the overwater Nautilus Retreat add more room, and the three-bedroom Nautilus Mansion (922 m²) is the island's signature house.
Thyme is the beachfront all-day restaurant, Ocaso grills Japanese, Mexican and Peruvian food by the beach and keeps a wine cellar of more than 200 labels, and Zeytoun, over the lagoon, pairs indigenous spices with Mediterranean cooking, with a gin and whisky lounge upstairs. Naiboli is the pool bar, with complimentary sundowners. Solasta Spa has three glass-floored overwater treatment pavilions, and there's a children's hub, Young Wonderers, a 24-hour gym and a padel court.
It's one of the most expensive islands we list, and the transfer adds up: the resort's own seaplane is $1,750 per adult return. It doesn't recommend its overwater houses for children under nine, though it will fence decks and pools on request.
