From Male to The Nautilus you must first take a regular flight to Velana Airport, then by seaplane, and then by boat. But the feeling that this is not just another vacation, but a real adventure, embraces you immediately and does not let go for a minute.

The hotel’s own soft lilac seaplane will take you to the (mostly) serene waters of the atoll, and after landing on the water you will be taken on board by a picturesque dhoni boat. Welcome champagne and a basket of tropical fruits are already waiting in your room: you are home!

The Nautilus is a stylish and modern resort. There are only 26 villas (called “houses”), each a small architectural and design masterpiece, where the boho style is perfectly combined with bright midcentury-style furniture and a tropical vibe. What really amazes here is the attention to detail: every interior detail, colornew color scheme, filling the minibar, cosmetics in the bathroom and spa, service - everything is thought out to the smallest detail.

In all houses located on the water (Ocean House and Ocean Residence), part of the floor in the living room is glazed, so, sitting comfortably on the sofa, you can watch the fish scurrying under the stilts. If you prefer a beach house with a pool, pay attention to the Beach House and Beach Residence categories.

The Retreat Water Villa with a large pool is an excellent choice for a young couple or a small group of friends. And for a family or company with children, the Mansion is a perfect choice - a two-story villa on the beach, surrounding a large courtyard with a swimming pool.

The joy of life is included in the room price. And this is not a metaphor: breakfast anywhere and at any time, complimentary cocktails at sunset, accommodation and meals for two children - you won’t have to pay extra for all this.

For such a small resort, the level of service and especially gastronomy is absolutely cosmic scale. The flagship Zeytoun offers Mediterranean cuisine: tart olive oil is brought from small farms on the Aegean coast, and aromatic tea is from Turkey.

At Ocaso, dishes are thrown onto the table from an open fire, which fieryly dances right there. behind the grill counter, and also delight guests with the tastes of Japanese, Peruvian and Mexican cuisine.

The Naiboli pool bar is absolutely magical in the evening when the flickering pool lights turn on and the moon is reflected in the ocean waters. Gourmet canapés are served here all day long and you can always refresh yourself with a glass of champagne or a glass of freshly squeezed juice. But in general, breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be served to you anywhere on the island at your request, on the beach, on the terrace of your house.

And if you book a special Gourmet package, it will also include a teppanyaki dinner , a Maldivian cooking lesson with a chef and a cocktail-making master class: by the way, the resort boasts the largest collection of whiskey and gin, so your bartending imagination will have plenty to run wild.
