In a world of your own making where any whim can become a reality, making a choice can be a little overwhelming, and honestly, what should you do first? At The Nautilus Maldives, your trusted House Master (butler), island expert and guide, comes in to take you on the most magical bohemian holiday of your life.
Whether you’re in the Maldives on a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a self-care retreat, there are a variety of experiences to choose from, ranging from exhilarating to calming, adventurous to enlightening. Keeping all bohemian wanderers in mind, we have put together a list of the top 5 free-spirited experiences recommended by these capable House Masters.
1) Luxury Yacht Cruising
On top of every house master’s bucket list for their guests, is a cruise on one of our luxury yachts that await to set sail into the breezy, salty sunshine of the Indian Ocean. Nautilus One Princess 54 and Tranquility Princess 64 will take you on a free-spirited journey where time stands still. Endless possibilities to choose from: champagne bubbles and gourmet meals on board; snorkelling; diving among sea creatures; and discovering sandbanks all to yourself. The truest form of luxury travel indeed.
2) Indulge in The Art of Gin Tasting
With a collection of 64 gins, the largest gin collection in the Maldives, be hosted in the Zeytoun lounge by our Juniper experts, where our Gin tasting experience will take you beyond the breezy lounge and around the world. A beloved experience in The Nautilus that has turned the one who is most unimpressed with gin into a new botanical leaf.
3) The Free-Spirited Spa Journey
Don’t be surprised if your House Master mentions the spa journey at any point of the stay- even before your arrival. After your journey to The Nautilus, may it be a long or a short one, the body and mind need pampering before the island life begins. The free-spirited Spa Journey by Solasta Spa is the ultimate treat where a smiling therapist awaits under a bohemian chic canopy on your very private and secluded sandbank. As the sun begins to set the treatment takes your body and mind into a holistic experience that relaxes you.
4) Underwater Encounter – PADI Certification
If you are not already a certified diver, fret not; there is no place better to delve into the underwater world than in Baa Atoll – a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Maldives. The Nautilus dive team provides scuba diving certification to anyone aged 8 and above. All it takes is a four-day to become a certified PADI open-water diver. For novice divers who are unsure of the deep, begin with Discover Scuba Diving to explore the possibility of your love for the underwater world.
5) A Culinary Exploration – Maldivian Cuisine Cooking Class
Discovering the Maldives remains incomplete without discovering the local cuisine. At Ocaso, The Nautilus’s al fresco grill restaurant, your house master and the unscripted culinary team prepare to introduce you to the simple yet flavourful meals of the Maldivian island cuisine. These authentic dishes are created with fresh coconuts, aromatic herbs, homegrown vegetables, and the juiciest tuna are certain to leave a lasting impression and an ever-growing love for the Maldives.
