In a world that’s constantly evolving, The Nautilus Maldives stands as a haven of stillness where time softens and each moment flows with ease. This year, the island’s devotion to crafting truly personal experiences has once again been recognised as one of the top Indian Ocean Resorts in the Condé Nast Traveler 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards, as voted by readers in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Nestled within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, The Nautilus continues to captivate discerning travellers seeking freedom, intimacy and connection.
A Sanctuary of Unscripted Living
With just 26 ultra-private Houses and Residences, each featuring its own pool and living space, The Nautilus redefines the meaning of true seclusion. Dining flows whenever appetite stirs, and experiences unfold at the pace of the guest’s imagination. Whether savouring a meal by the sea or discovering hidden corners of the island, every moment is guided by pure spontaneity. Here, life moves with an ease that allows time to simply drift away.
The Essence of Timeless Luxury
At The Nautilus, luxury is liberation. Guests float through the crystal-clear waters of Baa Atoll, swimming with the graceful mantas that dance through the deep. Others unwind at Solasta Spa, where rituals flow without schedules, or share vintage champagne beneath a canopy of stars. Each experience is an expression of joy, shaped entirely around the guest. This rare sense of freedom, paired with genuine warmth and intuitive service, continues to define The Nautilus as one of the world’s most extraordinary private island retreats.
A Symphony of Sea and Soul
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, now in its thirty-eighth year, remain among the most prestigious recognitions in travel. Regarded as a hallmark of excellence, the awards are shaped by the voices and insights of passionate travellers across the globe. For The Nautilus, this recognition reflects a dedication to genuine hospitality and the creation of timeless moments that capture the island’s free-spirited essence.
