We have created this bespoke travel safety video for our guests to explain how we have made The Nautilus the safest place to be right now.
Part of the beauty and magic of The Nautilus Maldives is the Island’s unparalleled location; set on its very own unspoiled and pristine white-sand Island and adorned with verdant endemic flora in the UNESCO Biosphere of the Baa Atoll. Boasting exclusivity and absolute privacy, the location of The Nautilus allows guests a greater sense of space and freedom — there are no crowded places in this staggeringly beautiful slice of paradise. The private location also means that there is strict control of the entry of personnel into the Island which is not accessible to just anyone, and because The Nautilus is one of the smaller resorts in the Maldives, the number of guests, even at full capacity, is kept low, which helps to lessen the overall risk. Furthermore, each of the Island's carefully designed Houses and Residences offers a tranquil and spacious exclusive oasis, nestled amongst lush tropical flora and overlooking cyan waters for the ultimate privacy. Everything you could want or need can be provided at the accommodation itself, even the housekeeping and dedicated butler services can be adjusted according to your wishes. There is also an array of private dining experiences and excursions available, which allows the ideal social distancing requirements, while still being able to embrace a once-in-lifetime holiday in the most magnificent surrounds of The Nautilus. Surrounded by luxury comforts in the heart of the Maldives, you can enjoy the ultimate freedom in a prime place whilst practising personalised distancing. While international flights land at Male’s main airport, the Velana International Airport, the time spent with other travellers in the building itself, is limited. All our guests are welcomed with a special CIP service at the airport, ensuring a seamless and safe immigration process. The CIP lounge personnel will welcome you on the runway as you disembark the aircraft and escort you to the CIP lounge. No queuing is required as all matters regarding immigration, baggage and customs will be handled for you by the CIP lounge personnel, further minimising your contact with other travellers. All you need to do is sit back, relax and indulge in delicious complimentary refreshments at the lounge while we take care of everything for you. To ensure the safety of our guests, all the staff at The Nautilus Maldives undergo daily temperature checks and have been trained and practice the safety and hygiene procedures put into place by both the government of the Maldives as well as the Resort. All of these measures, along with the stringent protocols that have been implemented in the Maldives as a whole in response to growing concerns from travellers regarding COVID-19, ensure that the risk is kept at a minimum. We kindly ask that guests help us in these matters by taking the necessary health and hygiene precautions while travelling in order to protect themselves. Nestled amongst endemic gardens that fringe pristine shores and crystal-clear waters, with fresh sea air and ample sunshine, there’s arguably no better or safer place to be than The Nautilus.
