Set on a private island in the Maldives’ UNESCO-listed Baa Atoll, The Nautilus Maldives has been hailed by The Times as a “pint-sized Indian Ocean paradise” and consistently ranks among the world’s top luxury retreats in Condé Nast Traveller. With just 26 exclusive villas—some still available for booking during peak season from November to April—The Nautilus redefines barefoot luxury. Each villa offers a private pool, spacious deck, and, for those suspended over water, glass floor panels that offer a mesmerising view of the vibrant marine life below. The Nautilus is more than a resort; it is a complete escape from usual constraints of daily habits and conventions.
The resort prides itself on its ‘unscripted’ set-up—which allows guests to order whatever they like, when they like, and served wherever they like. So, if you would like a surprise romantic dinner set up on the beach, or want to charter a yacht to see the dolphins, your personal butler will make it happen. The restaurants have no opening or closing times, dress codes or menu restrictions. So feel free to order the lobster main in your board shorts or bikini and order a big tub of your favourite ice cream in the middle of the night to eat in your pyjamas.
Everything from the mini-bar and movie library to the temperature of the pool is personalised to your tastes based on a pre-arrival conversation with your butler. You can even choose between Hermes, Penhaligon’s, or an organic line for your bath products.In the local area, there are around three dozen notable snorkelling and diving areas, including the renowned Hanifaru Bay where you can swim with Whale Sharks and Manta Rays, all of which are easily accessible via the resort’s speedboat or seaplane.
When you book The Nautilus through Victor Alto, you’re met on the tarmac in Velana International Airport (MLE) and whisked to a VIP lounge to go through customs and immigration in private. You then board a seaplane directly from the lounge and enjoy the views on your 30-minute flight to the resort, which is located in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. (You can also book a private seaplane, or take a 20-minute flight to a domestic airport, followed by a 20-minute speedboat ride.)
The best way to get to The Maldives from Europe is to charter an ultra-long-range private jet such as a Falcon 8X, Global Express, or Gulfstream G650ER, and fly directly to your destination in comfort. Unlike smaller jets, ultra-long-range aircraft have enough space in the cabin for separate eating and meeting spaces, and the seats often recline into fully flat beds.
These are all the benefits you receive when booking through Victor Alto:
- $150 USD equivalent Resort or Hotel credit, applicable towards food & beverage outlets, room service, spa services, and water sports.
- Complimentary 30-minute massage for up to 2 guests per House/Residence during the stay.
- Complimentary upgrade subject to availability.
Our members will receive 50,000 Alto points upon checkout when booking The Nautilus through Victor. These can be redeemed against the cost of a future flight with us or with any of our Alto partners. For more information contact: Sales@flyvictor.com
