An escape to the Maldives reaches a whole new level of luxury when it is individually tailored to your particular needs and wishes. This kind of bespoke approach is what sets The Nautilus Maldives apart in the world of ultra-luxury travel.
Personalised hospitality is about making your private island accommodation a home away from home, about preparing a feast exactly to your tastes, and about offering you the freedom to do – and be – as you please. It’s about curating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for you and your loved ones.
This special kind of service comes to life via The Nautilus’s House Masters – personal butlers assigned to each lodging, attentive to your preferences from the moment you start planning your journey. To paint a picture of what you can expect from this service, one of our House Masters, Mariyam Rafsha shares some of her daily notes to guests, inviting you to imagine your very own stay on our idyllic shores.
Arrival: Your private island home away from home
“Welcome to The Nautilus! My name is Mariyam, and I am delighted to be your dedicated personal butler for the next two weeks, here to ensure your stay is nothing short of perfection.
I have taken the liberty of arranging a refreshing fruit platter and a bottle of champagne to welcome you. Should you require any additional amenities or have any requests, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Enjoy your first evening in paradise.”
At The Nautilus, you can expect not only the finest ultra-luxury accommodation set in the most exquisite natural scenery, but also an abode that offers the comforts of home. On arriving at your secluded boho-chic sanctuary, you’ll find that we’ve taken care of the details: the pool water set to just the right temperature, the minibar stocked with your drinks of choice, the living area furnished with your favourite newspapers and magazines, and even suggested itineraries based on your preferences and personality.
Morning: Great breakfasts and good stretches
“Good morning esteemed guests,
I trust you had a restful night and woke up to the soothing sounds of the ocean.
Today, I have arranged a private yoga session for you on the beach, followed by a sumptuous breakfast spread prepared in consultation with your personal chef. And remember, our breakfasts are an all-day, anywhere affair.”
Whether you’re a morning person or not, our unscripted dining approach to breakfast means that this important meal of the day can be served whenever you like it, wherever you like it. An extravagant breakfast on the beach, a lazy lie-in with a champagne breakfast in bed, or even a floating breakfast served in your private infinity pool. If you can dream it, we can arrange it.
Afternoon: Lively activities – or leisurely inactivity
“This afternoon, the weather is perfect, with clear skies and gentle breezes. How about embarking on an adventure to explore the Maldives’ stunning marine life – the vibrant coral reefs and colourful fish? I have arranged a private snorkelling excursion for you, accompanied by our experienced guide. For an extra-special marine adventure, I can arrange an excursion to the world-renowned Hanifaru Bay to see the majestic manta rays up close.”
Or, if you prefer, I have reserved a private cabana for you by the pool. Our staff will be pleased to serve you refreshing drinks and snacks while you bask in the sun or indulge in a captivating book.”
Whether you’re up for an aquatic adventure or keen to slow down to soak up the spirit of the island, you can be sure that your House Master is eager to meet your particular desires with enticing suggestions and thoughtful planning. The Nautilus’s vision of creating a liberating space for guests to do just as they please means there are countless options for individualised, free-spirited experiences.
Evening: Endless enchantment at sundown
“As the evening approaches, I recommend a romantic candlelit dinner on the sandbank, where you can savour a specially curated menu under the starlit sky. And for the ultimate wind-down, I have arranged a private movie screening in your villa’s outdoor cinema – complete with your favourite movie, comfortable seating and delectable popcorn.
If this sounds appealing, kindly let me know, and I will ensure that everything is prepared to your liking.”
Sunset on our shores signals a whole new whimsical world of possibilities. We offer an endless array of nocturnal activities suited to both couples and families; to relaxing, mellow moments or party-starting celebrations. As ever, it is all about you and the luxury escape of your dreams.
