The Nautilus, Maldives

The Nautilus Maldives is due to commence operations in January 2019.

Situated on the small island of Thiladhoo in the Baa Atoll, this is another example of a snorkelling and picnic location being converted into a fully-fledged resort. There's a quality reef, proximity to Hanifaru Bay and all the dive sites of Baa, which will certainly appeal to those keen to experience the Maldives underwater.

The Nautilus is boldly pitching itself at the very top end of global resorts, and will hope to tempt the most affluent holiday-makers away from places such as Fregate and North Islands in the Seychelles, or The Brando in French Polynesia, not to mention the most renowned properties that the Maldives has to offer.

Accommodation, comprising 26 beach and ocean 'houses', will undoubtedly be sumptuous, and as expansive as possible on an island that is only 250m wide. The resort concept will be freedom for guests to eat and drink what and when they want in a tailor-made fashion, with a dedicated butler to respond and arrange accordingly.

We look forward to visiting once open!

Your bohemian hideaway in the Maldives, The Nautilus is a highly personalised, immensely private resort of 26 beach and ocean houses. A refuge beyond the bounds of time and expectations, where every moment is tailored to you.

A celebration of the individual spirit, The Nautilus gives you space – to share, to meet, to be yourself and to shape your own personal journey. And, most of all, to celebrate the people you’re with, in any way you choose.

Inspired by the enduring form of the nautilus shell, each house and residence is a unique and sophisticated escape. Curved lines and spiralled elements echo throughout design. Our philosophy, too, reiterates the timelessness and longevity of this icon of the deep.

At The Nautilus, you’re free to immerse yourself in the magic of Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. To discover its depths, its shimmering reefs and cays. You’ve all the time in the world to explore. In the end, it’s these simple, elemental pleasures – that ability to simply be – that form the greatest luxury of all. The Nautilus welcomes you from November 2018.
