Imagine an ultra-luxury escape to the Maldives. What comes to mind? Deserted, white sandy beaches? Turquoise crystalline waters at just the right temperature to enjoy a leisurely snorkel? Or perhaps, for you, it means deluxe accommodation with all the bells and whistles – and with next-level room service: bountiful feasts, indulgent massages, and a DJ session on your private spacious sun deck.
At The Nautilus, we offer these very things – and so much more. Because we believe that luxury is also found in less tangible aspects, things like unrivalled personalised service, utter privacy and an environment free of hurry and crowds. We consider ultra-luxury hospitality to be an art form, one that we work at constantly as we strive to offer our guests the very best – a world of your own making, where your creativity runs free.
Read on to discover what ultra-luxury hospitality truly means.
- The luxury of personalisation
No two people have exactly the same desires. As such, at The Nautilus, we prioritise personalisation in every possible way. From preparing every detail of your beach or ocean house exactly to your specifications, from the house- and pool temperature to the choice of beverages and gourmet snacks in your in-house bar; to developing a holiday itinerary of suggestions to suit every member of your party, whatever their age or personality; to creating delicious gourmet meals catering to your tastes, literally; we delight in meeting your every whim.
Integral to this approach is our House Master service, a 24/7 butler service personally assigned to you and your companions, from the moment you start planning your Maldives escape. Your House Master gets to know you before you’ve even left home, so that they can prepare for your arrival according to your preferences. And once you’ve set foot on our shores, your House Master is on call for whatever you may wish, whenever you wish it. Snorkelling with manta rays? Maldivian cooking classes with our award-winning chefs? Your House Master is eager to bring your dreams to life.
- The luxury of privacy
Privacy, seclusion, intimacy – these are more of those elusive luxuries in today’s crowded world. But, with just 26 boutique-style island sanctuaries, The Nautilus offers the perfect private getaway – without the need to buy out the entire island. Whether you’re keen for a romantic getaway for two, cocooned in the comforts of an overwater ocean house; or whether you’re booking out The Nautilus Mansion – our ultra-luxe bohemian castle on the sands – for your family or friends; you’ll find all the space you need, furnished in boho-chic style and luxurious creature comforts, with lush island vegetation providing serene seclusion, and uninterrupted sea views from every room.
Your gorgeous island home from home makes an ideal spot for a number of free-spirited experiences, moments you can enjoy in the sole company of your loved ones. For instance, you could start the day with a floating breakfast in your private infinity pool, sipping on the finest vintage champagne. You could host a private cocktail party on your ample sun deck, complete with your own popup bar and DJ. Or how about indulging in one of the many blissful spa treatments in the comfort of your room? And should you choose to venture out of your dreamy island sanctum, you could embark on any of our signature experiences in private, bespoke style – whether it’s a guided dive you’re after or intimate dining on far-flung, moonlit sands.
- The luxury of unhurried moments
We know how relentless the tick of the clock is, how modern life so quickly becomes a juggle of schedules, routines, rush and deadlines, with little time to pause with your people, to focus on the things that matter most. At The Nautilus, there are no clocks, fixed opening hours or prescriptive itineraries making demands on your day – just the blissful escape of the moment. Our hallmark “Time Stands Still” governs every detail of our hospitality ethos; it’s a bohemian spirit of whimsy and timeless freedom that pervades every space of the private island, every experience on and off-shore.
You might like a private dive at dawn, or you might be in the mood for fishing at sunset. Perhaps a midnight feast grabs your imagination, or even a midnight movie under the stars. Here, you move at your own pace, with just the rhythms of the tides and the changes in your mood to dictate your movements throughout the day.
