An ultra-luxe island in the Maldives to yourself

Paradise reserved, entirely for you Imagine an entire ultra-luxury island at your sole command, swaying to your rhythms, responsive to your desires.

A secluded haven chartered for you alone.

A Baa Atoll enclave set apart by miles of the bluest ocean, far from crowded spaces and anonymous faces, where personal encounters are limited to your family or friends – and to the amazing wildlife of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Where spectacular sunsets are undisturbed, exclusively displayed for your select audience, and the pristine sands are marked by your footprints alone.

Where world-class gourmet dining and once-in-a-lifetime experiences are tailored to your tastes and preferences and are brought to life by the world’s most attentive, caring staff.

What defines luxury?

Your Bohemian Island Escape Specially Curated For You We believe it’s freedom – in all its expansive dimensions. In all its limitless length, breadth and depth.

Freedom from the bounds of time, from schedules, routines and the relentless tick of the clock. Freedom from crowded spaces and anonymous faces.

Freedom to do – whatever you choose, whenever you choose; the freedom to shape each day to your particular whim. Or the freedom to simply be, in the company of your loved ones – and only your loved ones.

It’s the freedom to imagine the ultimate, most indulgent escape to an Indian Ocean paradise, reserved exclusively for you – and the people who matter most. And it’s the freedom to turn that dream into reality.

This kind of freedom, the purest kind of luxury, is yours for the taking – with an exclusive island buyout of The Nautilus.

The Nautilus offers freedom unconditional A celebration of the individual spirit, The Nautilus offers this kind of luxurious freedom – freedom unconditional. Whether for a few days or many months, our castaway utopia is yours to enjoy beyond the bounds of time.

Because at The Nautilus, time stands still. And because moments that are yours alone – reserved for you and your loved ones – are moments that linger far longer.

Immersed in the raw beauty of the renowned Baa Atoll, our secluded private island spans 60 000 sqm of natural wonder – and the space to share, to gather, to shape your own personal journey. To celebrate in any way you choose, in the exclusive company of those who matter most to you.

Celebrate in style - your distinctive style Making lifelong memories with precious people deserves considered creativity – and the perfect setting. It calls for utterly bespoke celebrations that cater to your every whim.

From intimate, informal celebrations on a far-flung sandbank to grand and lavish parties that stretch across the whole island; from tropical dream weddings to family reunions around a beachfront barbeque; from milestone birthday bashes to corporate retreats; The Nautilus offers the most spectacular of locations for celebrating a monumental occasion – or simply life itself.

A space to call your own - and yours alone At The Nautilus, only 26 houses and residences line our shores, forming a gorgeous tropical locale perfect for the most private of getaways.

Each beach or ocean house is a personal sanctum, with its own separate living room and private infinity pool, each generous space infused with a bohemian whimsy that invites you into the barefoot life. And each abode is individually fashioned to your guests’ preferences and tastes – from the perfect pool temperature to a custom-stocked private bar – welcoming guests to their island home away from home.

Eight Ocean Houses | 1 Bedroom

These secluded ocean houses for two embrace overwater life in exceptional style. Perched in the middle of a turquoise lagoon, a poolside sun deck stretches out to the horizon, with steps spiralling down to the seawaters below.

Nine Beach Houses | 1 Bedroom Nine elegant beach houses line our silvery shores, each just a few steps from the sea. Each oval bedroom adjoins a living room that opens up to a wide, private Maldivian-style sun deck, sheltered by manicured gardens, overlooking the beach. Indoor and outdoor showers invite sensuous tropical restoration.

Three Beach Residences | 1 Bedroom Elegant mansions by the sea, our two-storey beach residences are sanctuaries of effortless chic, with hand-picked décor infusing each space with free-spirited charm.

Two Ocean Residences | 1 Bedroom

These generous residences epitomise bohemian bliss, spanning our lagoon with stilts and a glass-floor panel. A refined, spacious living room and separate bedroom are both thoughtfully furnished and decorated to create a welcoming cocoon of comfort. An additional dining room, with adjoining powder room and wet bar, open onto a vast sun deck and infinity pool, literally steps from the ocean below.

Two Beach Residences | 2 Bedrooms

The Nautilus features two exquisite two-bedroom beach residences, perfect for families or groups of friends. Panoramic ocean views stream into every room, with one bedroom downstairs – coupled with living and dining spaces and powder room – and a spacious master bedroom upstairs.

The Nautilus Mansion | 3 Bedrooms Our island’s signature house, this three-bedroom mansion was designed as the ultimate beach residence. It’s our castle on the sand, nestled in a spectacular spot on the beach, with custom-made furnishings created with hand-selected materials. Objets d’art and décor capture the pure bohemian spirit of the island, while the mansion’s sunlit, breeze-cooled spaces promise serenity, privacy and exquisite comfort.

A world of your own making, at your call Set foot on our shores, and you’ll discover a world of your own making. A retreat set up exactly to your tastes – and those of your special guests – from bespoke, bohemian-style accommodation perfectly arranged with the comforts of home, to a full butler service assigned to each lodging: a dedicated House Master, available anytime, for any request.

Your House Master is the embodiment of The Nautilus style of hospitality – welcoming and efficient, warm and discreet, and eager to grant holiday wishes. Tuned in to individual needs and rhythms, taking bespoke service to a new level of luxury. Welcoming guests with a tailor-made selection of once-in-a-lifetime ideas on how to spend their sun-filled days, balmy nights and every lingering moment in between. From customised programmes and activities for the young ones, to impromptu escapes aboard a luxury yacht while the children are cared for by our professional babysitters.

Free-spirited experiences Across our island paradise, you won’t find any clocks or timetables. Nothing is fixed, everything is fluid, anything is possible. Instead, you’re invited to enjoy the rhythms of nature – sunrises and sunsets, high tides and low tides, the wax and wane of the moon. You’re encouraged to awaken the natural rhythms of your body and soul; to slip into afternoon naps and spontaneous mealtimes.

At The Nautilus, time stands still.

Every experience we offer takes its cue from our style of freespirited, bohemian escape. You are free to set your own beat. To decide, at your leisure, what to do – or not do. Free to dive into an impulsive sea adventure, or to spend the day lounging by the pool, with live music carried on a gentle island breeze. Free to indulge in one of many reviving treatments at the Solasta Spa, or to settle your mind with a private yoga or meditation session.

With no-one interrupting your view, no-one invading your underwater world, no-one else filling the restaurants. Just the exclusive company of the people who matter most.

UNSCRIPTED DINING Taste culinary luxury by dining off-script, in unhurried pleasure. With dishes created to delight your particular tastes – anytime, anywhere. Feast on the freedom of choice – dining indoors or al fresco, where every exquisite restaurant interior is your private dining room, and every world-class chef is your personal chef. Where every dining experience is treated as a special occasion, whether it’s a champagne breakfast in bed or a large-scale, extravagant event.

THE TIMELESS DANCE OF THE MANTA RAYS Plunge into our piece of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, exploring Hanifaru Bay, one of the world’s largest manta ray feeding hotspots, and witness these majestic creatures perform their timeless, mesmerising whirling dervish. Our local experts delight in showcasing this underwater treasure and will guide you and your group through this world free of gravity, hurry and noise.

YOUR SECRET SANDBANK CINEMA Delight your whole party with an outdoor film screening, on a distant sandbank under starry skies. Where you and your loved ones are the only people in the world who’ve been invited. Enjoy any film you wish – whether the latest release or a timeless classic – set against panoramic views, with your own particular selection of gourmet snacks and drinks. This is showtime in your time.
