Luxury bohemian hideaway, The Nautilus Maldives, is elevating the private paradise experience to new heights with the introduction of an exclusive island buyout option: The Nautilus Solitaire.
Priced from USD377,188 (approx. GBP282,672) per night, The Nautilus Solitaire is a fully personalized experience including exclusive use of the entire island, located in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll; exquisite accommodation; private butler service; The Nautilus’ unique airside VIP arrival service; return transfers via the resort’s liveried seaplane; and breakfast, for up to 93 adults.
The Nautilus is the realisation of a vision of boundless privacy and unscripted luxury, where guests can choose exactly what they want to do, when and where. Casting off the anchor of inflexibility, rejecting the tyranny of timetables; The Nautilus liberates guests to enjoy a private island experience beyond the humdrum clockwatching constraints of opening hours and menus. Here, guests are free to be themselves, enjoy impromptu adventures and reimagine the island as their own personal playground.
With a total of 26 Houses and Residences, each with its own large private pool, The Nautilus offers a variety of options for couples, families or groups of friends, making it the ideal choice for milestone occasions, destination weddings or corporate retreats. Uniquely for the Maldives, a dedicated private butler is allocated to every room category; immaculate ‘boho-luxe’ interiors adorned with one-off collectibles and objets d’art give each and every House the feel of the private home of a friend with enviable taste. 17 one-bedroom Beach or Ocean Houses include spacious separate living areas and ample sun decks; seven one-or two-bedroom Beach or Ocean Residences have private dining rooms, wet bars and powder rooms. At The Nautilus Retreat, tip-toeing over the lagoon on stilts, the two bedrooms radiate from the central living and dining room; The Nautilus Mansion is a breathtaking three-bedroom sanctuary on the beach offering acres of living space and the ultimate in seclusion.
Dining is unscripted and unscheduled, with masterful cuisine tailored to each guest’s taste. Meals can be taken anytime, anywhere, from overwater fine dining restaurant Zeytoun, beachside grill Ocaso, pool bar Naiboli to relaxed eatery Thyme. Sunrise sashimi on the sandbank, poolside picnics, moonlit meze; whatever the hour, The Nautilus’ chefs relish spontaneity.
A beautiful overwater spa featuring products by Maison Caulières and Omorovicza and specialising in bespoke wellness programmes and daily rituals; a liveried fleet of yachts; and a breath-taking house reef all complete a quintessential Maldives experience at the very pinnacle of privacy, without need for gimmicks.
