Walkable private island, come-as-you-are

The Nautilus Maldives brings a relaxed, no-clocks mindset to a petite private island in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, walkable shore to shore in 20 minutes. Stay in one of 26 beach and ocean houses and residences with a private temperature-controlled pool, wide deck, and sliding glass doors that open to the lagoon.

  • House reef snorkeling

    A vibrant reef sits right at the lagoon’s edge, accessible straight from the beach.

  • Three-restaurant island dining

    Three restaurants and two bars sit directly on the island’s natural reef.

  • Spa above the sea

    Glass-bottomed over-water pavilions let marine life drift beneath wellness sessions.
