A romantic getaway to the Maldives is a must-do for couples, adding a once-in-a-lifetime chapter to your love story. And there’s no better time to enjoy this kind of fairy-tale escape than during the season of love – which is just around the corner.
The Nautilus’s dreamy shores set the ideal scene for romance, with our ultra-luxury, bohemian-style private island resort offering all the magic of a tropical escape, far away from the cares of daily life, and boasting an intoxicating variety of pleasures to satisfy all the senses. Specially prepared island sanctums welcome guests with amorous ambience – think candles, bubble bath and rose petals – and as standard, you can look forward to themed turndown amenities and a beautiful boho gift. What’s more, we’ve dreamed up some superb experiences to celebrate all things love and romance.
Read on for a glimpse of what awaits you at our exclusive private island resort.
1. Dining scripted to your special story
Besides the wide array of culinary delights on offer – ranging from chocolate truffle masterclasses to aphrodisiac cocktail tastings, The Nautilus has concocted some extra-special dining experiences to toast your love.
The Tranquillity Exclusive Valentine’s Day Sunset Cruise will whisk you away aboard a luxury yacht, sailing into the sunset, with a private chef preparing fresh gourmet canapés to tantalise your taste buds. Or perhaps a five-course dinner on your very own sandbank is more your style? This enchanting excursion includes a transfer by luxury yacht, sunset cocktails, champagne and roses, a solo artist performance and floating breakfast the morning after, served in your private infinity pool.
A third gastronomic option is the Romance Package – a five-course dinner on the beach, complete with champagne, a bouquet of roses and a solo artist performance – while our signature restaurant, Zeytoun, will be hosting a Valentine-themed, five-course, champagne-paired dinner designed by Executive Chef Kengo Tomita, with a serenading saxophonist providing the perfect atmosphere.
2. Sensational switch-off time at Solasta Spa
Our overwater Solasta Spa offers countless ways to spoil your Valentine – and, of course, yourself. And what better way to unwind and reconnect with your loved one than by basking in blissful pampering and sublime scenery?
Besides our signature collection of world-class treatments, our spa team has conjured up some offerings specifically suited to the month of love. Red Carpet for My Valentine is a two-hour long session featuring a TDA facial (boasting the highest concentration of anti-aging active ingredients) as well as a reviving, luxurious leg treatment to improve complexion and tone; while Valentine Indulgence is a three-hour bespoke spa journey tailored to your specific needs and desires, and includes rose champagne and healthy nibbles, a luxurious bath soak and a gift from The Nautilus.
Finally, our Beloved Bliss option is perfect for guests wanting the ultimate in intimacy and privacy: performed in the comfort of your island home, this package includes an Omorovicza or Maison Caulières massage, a revitalising scalp treatment and an Omorovicza overnight facemask packed with salicylic acid and sand lily extract. The session wraps up with a warm brew of chamomile tea to invite the sweetest sleep.
3. A deep dive into love and wonder
Adventurous couples are spoilt for choice in our corner of paradise, with all manner of water activities – both above and below the sparkling waves – beckoning you to discover the natural wonders of the deep blue and new sides of one another.
How Deep is Your Love celebrates one of these much-loved activities – in one of the world’s most beautiful marine locations: the renowned Baa Atoll. Instead of the usual flowers and chocolates, this package will surprise your Valentine with a truly extraordinary gift – The Nautilus’s PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, ideal for beginners and experienced divers alike. You’ll explore the kaleidoscopic coral gardens that surround our island and have the chance to plant your own coral – as part of our reef rehabilitation project – and take underwater selfies, making memories that are sure to last.
This coming season, give your Valentine the gift of exotic luxury and timeless adventure. To begin your romantic getaway and to celebrate your love story, we recommend you opt for our Moments of Togetherness package. It’s both considered and convenient, a wonderful match of ultra-luxe experiences with a carefree discovery of paradise – and your better half.
