Luxury bohemian hideaway, The Nautilus Maldives, is elevating the private paradise experience to new heights with the introduction of an exclusive island buyout option: The Nautilus Solitaire. Priced from USD377,188 (approx. GBP282,672) per night, The Nautilus Solitaire is a fully personalised experience including exclusive use of the entire island, located in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll; exquisite accommodation; private butler service; The Nautilus' unique airside VIP arrival service; return transfers via the resort's liveried seaplane; and breakfast, for up to 93 adults.

The Nautilus is the realisation of a vision of boundless privacy and unscripted luxury, where guests can choose exactly what they want to do, when and where. Casting off the anchor of inflexibility, rejecting the tyranny of timetables; The Nautilus liberates guests to enjoy a private island experience beyond the humdrum clockwatching constraints of opening hours and menus. Here, guests are free to be themselves, enjoy impromptu adventures and reimagine the island as their own personal playground.

With a total of 26 Houses and Residences, each with its own large private pool, The Nautilus offers a variety of options for couples, families or groups of friends, making it the ideal choice for milestone occasions, destination weddings or corporate retreats. Uniquely for the Maldives, a dedicated private butler is allocated to every room category; immaculate 'boho-luxe' interiors adorned with one-off collectibles and objets d'art give each and every House the feel of the private home of a friend with enviable taste. 17 one-bedroom Beach or Ocean Houses include spacious separate living areas and ample sun decks; seven one-or two-bedroom Beach or Ocean Residences have private dining rooms, wet bars and powder rooms.  At The Nautilus Retreat, tip-toeing over the lagoon on stilts, the two bedrooms radiate from the central living and dining room; The Nautilus Mansion is a breathtaking three-bedroom sanctuary on the beach offering acres of living space and the ultimate in seclusion.

Dining is unscripted and unscheduled, with masterful cuisine tailored to each guest's taste. Meals can be taken anytime, anywhere, from overwater fine dining restaurant Zeytoun, beachside grill Ocaso, pool bar Naiboli to relaxed eatery Thyme. Sunrise sashimi on the sandbank, poolside picnics, moonlit meze; whatever the hour, The Nautilus' chefs relish spontaneity.

A beautiful overwater spa featuring products by Maison Caulières and Omorovicza and specialising in bespoke wellness programmes and daily rituals; a liveried fleet of yachts; and a breath-taking house reef all complete a quintessential Maldives experience at the very pinnacle of privacy, without need for gimmicks.

About The Nautilus Maldives

Located in the UNESCO biosphere reserve of Baa Atoll, The Nautilus Maldives (www.thenautilusmaldives.com) is a luxury bohemian hideaway which celebrates freedom and individuality, where guests are encouraged to be themselves and shape their own personal journey. The Maldives' only member of Relais & Châteaux, The Nautilus offers a choice of 26 Beach or Ocean Houses inclusive of nine awe inspiring Beach or Ocean Residences, and can also be taken exclusively as a private island.  Accommodation is perfect for groups or families, sleeping anywhere from four up to twelve guests at The Nautilus Mansion. Dining is “unscripted” and is about liberating the palate.  There is nothing so pedestrian as dress codes, opening and closing times or tray charges; menus at overwater fine dining restaurant Zeytoun, beachside grill Ocaso, poolside bar Naiboli and the relaxed Thyme 'all day dining' are for inspiration only. Each and every House is attended by a dedicated private butler, taking care of every whim and need whenever they arise. A beautiful overwater spa (using products by Maison Calulières and Omorovicza), a liveried fleet of yachts and a seaplane, beautiful 'boho-luxe' interiors and a breathtaking house reef offer a quintessential Maldives experience at the highest level, without need for gimmicks. Understatement is king at The Nautilus; it whispers to discreet high net worth travellers who wish to fly under the radar. In his 1870 classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Jules Verne described his legendary Nautilus as a “masterpiece containing masterpieces”; launched in Spring 2019, The Nautilus Maldives is quickly earning a similar reputation.
