What makes the Nautilus one of the world’s premier private island experiences?

Which is the best private island experience in the world? We’re convinced it’s The Nautilus. We have many reasons why we believe Nautlius deserves this title, and readers of Condé Nast Traveler and Tatler agreed, but we’ve outlined them here.
These are more than just rationales; they are principles designed to echo the hotel vision, the very reason for being – namely, to invite guests to discover life’s rarest treasures at an exclusive ultra-luxury island getaway. Continue reading for a sampling of the treasures that embody The Nautilus experience.
1.Time stands still ~ freedom from the demands of daily life
The Nautilus provides a retreat from time’s relentless demands – from work schedules and deadlines, from life’s rigid routines, and from society’s fixed operating hours.
One of life’s most precious luxuries is the freedom from clock-watching; it allows for mindful presence, genuine connection, and the freedom to simply be.

2. Comforts of home ~ a private stay uniquely yours
As such, there are no clocks, schedules, or closing times on the shores of Nautilus. The passage of time is fluid, with days slipping into nights unrushed. You are free to go with the flow of the day by sleeping in late and drinking vintage champagne in bed.
To take a dip in your private pool or go on an impromptu ocean adventure, to be able to eat your favorite foods at any time of day or night – and in any location.

3. Free-spirited experiences ~ do, or be, as you please
The Nautilus specializes in creating experiences that aren’t constrained by set itineraries or formulas. The name of the game is liberation: you are free to do – or simply be – whatever you want, according to your own rhythm.
Consider making a spontaneous dive into the world-famous Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, to witness the wonder of manta rays firsthand. Or spirited excursions on a luxury yacht while sipping a cocktail and listening to acoustic music in the background.
Perhaps it’s a place for lazy lie-ins and personalized spa treatments in the overwater spa. Or maybe it’s time for your family to enjoy a private sandbank cinema screening.
4. Unscripted dining ~ satisfying your particular tastes
Simply put, unscripted dining entails eating whatever your tastebuds desire – whenever and wherever you want. There are no set opening hours or mealtimes, and there are no dress codes.
Whether you’re looking for an expertly conceived dish from the signature restaurant, Zeytoun, or an entirely off-menu creation guided by your specific tastes, the award-winning chefs are ready to satisfy your senses.
4 a.m. feasts, breakfast for dinner, dessert-only mealtimes – your options are only limited by your creativity. And location is also unrestricted, which means that every setting on – and around – our island can serve as the ideal rendezvous for unforgettable ambience.
Nautilus Maldives will serve your bespoke culinary journey wherever you want it: on the beach, on a boat, or in your bed.

5. Art of bohemia ~ a passion for immersive inspiration/creativity
The creative style speaks of barefoot, laid-back luxury and a celebration of the individual spirit, from the whimsical design of The Nautilus’ architecture to the boho-chic furnishings that saturate every space.
It’s a wild creativity that stretches from shore to shore, infusing each experience with unique imagination and a liberated perspective.
The Nautilus Maldives’ passion for the arts includes a celebration of place, of the Maldives’ rich culture, with traditional live music providing the soundtrack to your tropical getaway and Maldivian craftwork available for exploration in fascinating interactive classes.
Indeed, creativity pervades the entire approach to customizing your stay in the Maldives – think of your time in Nautilus Maldives as a blank canvas on which to design your ideal retreat.
