A luxury escape to the Maldives offers the most wonderful way to unwind and destress, to return to the deepest kind of rest and relaxation. At The Nautilus Maldives, we do everything possible to cultivate a space of respite – as illustrated below – and with this vision in mind, we recently added a new exclusive guest offering to our repertoire: The Nautilus Slumber Ritual.
The launch of this ritual coincides with World Sleep Day on the 17th of March, a day designed to raise awareness of sleep health and its vital role in our overall health and well-being. Read on to find out more about the true wonder of sleep – and what you can expect when you retreat to the tranquillity of The Nautilus.
The healing power of sleep
Today more than ever, the world struggles to sleep. Working late hours has become the norm, technology advances have created an “always on” culture, dependence on devices and screens has risen drastically (and with it, the detrimental effects of blue light), and the whole world has suffered multiple stresses and anxiety during the recent pandemic – all contributing to a perfect storm of insomnia or restless, low-quality slumber. Sleep – and certainly good sleep – has become something of a luxury, rather than the basic necessity that it is. Sleep is vital to health in all its all dimensions – physical, mental and social – and, as multiple studies in recent years show, good sleep is critical to normal daily functioning.
As such, sleep tourism has become a growing trend in the travel industry, with a range of resorts offering guests the optimum space, time and conditions needed to regain sleep health and return to daily life re-energised. At The Nautilus, we’re committed to being industry leaders in travel innovation and holistic health. Our team curated a superb package that invites guests to a land of deep, sweet slumber and rejuvenation. But, while the ritual may be new, a sense of carefree repose and renewal has been in our DNA from the very beginning.
An escape from the tyranny of time
We like to say that on our shores, time stands still. The Nautilus’s style of hospitality encourages you to do – or not do – whatever you wish, whenever you wish. You won’t find any clocks, schedules, or opening or closing hours anywhere on the island, to encourage a true disconnect from the hurry of modern life. This freedom to be creates a sublime environment for sleep, as you go with the flow of the island’s bohemian spirit, enjoying lazy lie-ins with breakfast in bed or afternoon naps on your private sundeck. It’s all about snoozing in the way that suits you best, at the time that suits you best.
A sleep sanctuary
Each of our 26 beach and ocean abodes has been designed with a specific vision: utter privacy, laidback luxury and whimsical, bohemian serenity. The ambience is one where sophisticated style meets home comfort, where personalisation of every detail, from pool temperature to beverage selection, inspires you to put your feet up. And with the soporific sounds of ocean waves gently spilling onto the shore, soothing your tired mind, you’ll find that your tropical sanctuary is one where every element ushers in a mood of supreme relaxation conducive to the dreamiest kind of sleep.
