At The Nautilus Maldives, a luxury escape means so much more than just exquisite accommodation, world-class dining and top-tier, personalised service. Of course, luxury encompasses all of those things, but on our idyllic shores, we believe that the truest type of luxury is found in escaping the bounds of time.
Time is something truly priceless and precious. Time away from the demands of the world and the distractions of daily life can be deeply restorative. Time off from work is vital for our health and well-being; time spent with loved ones is vital for meaningful connection.
This concept of luxury is shaped by one of our core hallmarks: Time Stands Still. It is a concept you’ll find woven into every detail of our ultra-luxury bohemian hideaway, from the dreamlike experiences on offer to our whimsical style of unscripted dining. Below, we explore what it means to escape time on our immensely private island.
- Leave your schedules – and worries – behind you
At The Nautilus, you’ll discover a different way to be – a place free of clocks, schedules, routines, itineraries, alarms and the rush of modern life. Instead, you’re invited to simply be, in the present, worried neither by the past nor the future.
Far from the relentless tick of the clock and the demands of digital living, you’ll rediscover the rhythms of nature – around you and within you. Guided simply by the movement of sun and moon across the sky, by the tides of the ocean and by your body’s own energy levels – whether you feel like an endless afternoon nap on the sun deck or an adrenaline-fuelled adventure on the sea – you’ll awaken to a freer way of being, to the beauty of each moment.
- Dine whenever you feel like it
Why limit yourself to set mealtimes, rigid opening hours and expected dining norms? Delicious food – as one of life’s most sensuous indulgences – deserves to be enjoyed whenever your taste buds are tickled, as the day takes you.
As such, feasting on our private island is an anytime experience, with your favourite meals and snacks available whenever (and wherever) you feel like it. Whether you fancy breakfast at sundown or vintage champagne at dawn, whether you’re in the mood for comfort food or an innovative culinary concoction, we’re here to satisfy your every craving.
- Indulge your wishes on a whim
True luxury is about doing whatever you feel, whenever you feel – whether you’ve dreamed about it for years or have a sudden desire to try something new. On our ultra-luxe private island – and beyond – we offer a range of once-in-lifetime experiences for all types of personalities, ages and moods.
Sometimes it’s the kind of day for a lazy lie-in and breakfast in bed. At other times, an impromptu scuba diving adventure, exploring all the multicoloured marvels of our unique waters, is the order of the day. And some days call for the best of both: imagine, for example, a reinvigorating yoga session on our overwater pavilion, followed by a heart-pumping jet ski cruise over turquoise waters and under the ever-present sun.
The beauty of it all is that you can plan – or not plan – as much as you like, with our dedicated House Masters (private butler service) always on call to realise your every wish and whim, to go with your flow, eager to book all manner of unforgettable excursions, unhurried spa sessions and extraordinary dining destinations tailored exactly to you.
- Enjoy timeless moments with loved ones
Time is truly invaluable, and time together even more so. Towards the end of every year, it’s always a shock to see how quickly time has passed, and yet, certain occasions – whether grand or ordinary – somehow transcend the tyranny of the ticking clock and become memories to revisit again and again. These are the moments shared with the people who matter most.
