The Nautilus Maldives named in the top two resorts in the Indian Ocean in the 2023 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. Located in the heart of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that is home to the world renowned Hanifaru Bay, the natural island is enveloped by white sandy beaches and vibrant coral reefs – natural treasures they are committed to conserving.
The ultra-luxury private island hideaway is home to only 26 island houses and residences which are designed with an eco-conscious vision and an organic, bohemian flavour. The Nautilus is the only Maldives resort that offers a unique private island experience – without the need for an exclusive buyout. The intimate island sanctuary takes bespoke luxury to a new level, boasting unrivalled space and utter privacy; personalised home comforts and a dedicated butler service; and exquisite fine dining anytime, anywhere.
In this paradise where time stands still, the guest experience is one of liberation at every turn. From private picnics on castaway sandbanks and tailor-made treatments at their overwater spa, to spectacular underwater adventures and enriching and fun-filled children's programmes, The Nautilus offers endless possibilities of free-spirited experiences tailored to your every whim. On their shores, guests are invited to write their own narrative in a space of their own, to embrace the freedom to create cherished moments and embark on a journey of discovery and wonder.
More than 520,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to offer a comprehensive look at the places they eagerly anticipate revisiting.
