The Nautilus Maldives Brochure

There is a place beyond all bounds.

A refuge across the winds, the sands and the sea. Where you will be free.

Free from time. Free from pressure.

A place of liberation, where you can let go and simply be.

A world of your own making

Venture forth, and slip the bounds of time.

The clock it binds us. It ticks relentlessly, marching us forever forward with the unyielding beat.

But what if we were unshackled from its grip? What beauty might we uncover; what freedom might we find?

The Nautilus exists beyond the bounds of time. It is a place where nothing is fixed, and anything is possible. Where you are free to set your own beat. Free to do and to be as you please.

Immersed in the raw beauty of Baa Atoll, somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean, The Nautilus encompasses 242 x 249 metres of natural wonder.

The freedom to simply be

We drift through life distracted. Driven only by what’s in front of us, oblivious to the beauty around us. We spend lifetimes in search of meaning, only to wind up lost along the way And, as time slips by, we lose touch with ourselves and each other.

The Nautilus offers liberation, and unconditional freedom. A celebration of the individual spirit. Space to share, to meet, to be yourself and shape your own personal journey. And, most of all, to celebrate with the people who matter most, in any way you choose.

Because in the end, it’s these simple, elemental pleasures that ability to simply be that form the greatest luxury of all.
