A WORLD ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN WISHES
As if you had arrived on your own private island: this is what it feels like when you enter The Nautilus. The powder-white sand under your bare feet, the endless view of turquoise-blue sea and the laid-back island lifestyle without a dress code or stipulations give you an incomparable feeling of having arrived. Your ultra-luxurious, incomparably relaxed stay actually begins beforehand – in the exclusive VIP lounge at Malé Airport, from where the hotel’s own bright purple seaplane takes you to Thiladhoo in around 35 minutes without any time spent waiting around. What happens now is up to you: you could go directly into the seclusion of your elegant house or stylish residence; or first enjoy cocktails and canapés in the Naiboli Poolside Lounge? Or maybe take a dip in the huge communal pool or relax in the light shade on one of the comfortable sunbeds? You decide what and how, when and where. Three tempting restaurants offer the most delectable culinary delights and a veritable gourmet cornucopia, which are available anytime and anywhere – also at their fantastically situated and skilfully furnished locations: The Thyme will enchant you with its bright beach house flair, richly varied breakfast and light daily cuisine. The fine creations at Ocaso Al Fresco Grill – inspired by Japanese, Mexican and Peruvian cuisine – are served in open pavilions at tables on the pristine sand. Dining at Zeytoun is particularly exceptional: tables set in white are enthroned directly above a light blue lagoon. You can sit either in the sheltered interior with a clear view through the high panoramic windows or choose a place outside on the spacious wooden terrace or on one of the separate platforms in the sea, where you can enjoy the fine Mediterranean dishes and an extensive, well-stocked selection of drinks all to yourself. You spend the days filled with blissful happiness, away from it all, on the warm sand and caressed by a salty sea breeze.
A look at the accommodation also confirms that The Nautilus is a first-class retreat with the utmost exclusivity and privacy: only 26 dreamlike houses and residences are available for guests, either directly over the water or on the beach, each just steps away from the ocean and nestled in lush palm greenery. The organic architecture achieves a perfect combination of luxurious bohemian interior and contemporary design; everything seems to merge in wonderful harmony. Beach or Ocean House, Residence, Retreat or Mansion – there is a choice of individual living spaces ranging from 282 to 922 square metres, tailored to personal preferences. What they all have in common is a harmonious interior concept that radiates lightness and cosiness: warm timber and natural materials complement bright colours and playful patterns to create a confidently chic, bohemian style. The living/dining areas and bedrooms are separate from each other and promise undisturbed space for all residents. Always included: a private pool for round-the-clock recreation, a large sun deck with cosy loungers and sun islands as well as covered dining areas. Everything has been thought of here, including the perfect service provided by your personal butler. He attends to your every wish, be it of a culinary or adventurous nature. Snorkelling on the house reef; deep-sea fishing far out in the ocean; a film evening under the stars; a sundowner trip in a traditional Bokkara boat; a special wine with dinner or a romantic proposal on the hotel’s own yacht – nothing is impossible. It goes without saying that you can turn up at the spa for a massage or beauty treatment without an appointment. Yes, The Nautilus is a special jewel in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Not just because it promises boundless summer and idyllic nature, but because it truly makes time stand still.
