ARRIVAL EXPERIENCES

Journey to The Nautilus

The Nautilus experience begins as soon as your flight lands. You’ll be greeted as you disembark and driven by limousine to the comfort of a private VIP lounge, where immigration and other processes will be taken care on your behalf as you relax. For your journey to The Nautilus, you can choose to take to the skies aboard a shared standard seaplane or The Nautilus private seaplane; for a more leisurely journey, cruise along the Indian Ocean azure on our luxury private yacht.

Journey by Seaplane

Opt for a seaplane for a seamless transfer to our corner of the Baa Atoll, where the best luxury resort in the Maldives awaits. The entire process from the VIP lounge to The Nautilus takes a mere 30 minutes. Your personal butler will be there to welcome you. For a truly personal experience, charter your own private VIP seaplane from Malé at one of the finest Baa Atoll resorts.
The Nautilus offers a curated selection of transfer options, each designed to reflect your personal rhythm and preferences.
