Island life at your own pace
Browse all 22 photographs ↘The spirit of the island
Twenty-six houses and residences with private pools in Baa Atoll: a bohemian retreat shaped around your wishes.
On Thiladhoo island, within Baa Atoll’s UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Nautilus offers an intimate setting of 26 houses and residences on the sand or above the lagoon. Curved spaces, natural materials and separate living rooms give each the feel of a holiday home. Your House Master helps arrange everything from personalised meals to family time. Between your private pool, dining by the sea and the overwater Solasta Spa, each day takes shape at your own pace.
What sets it apart
- 26 houses and residences with private pools
- A dedicated House Master for every house
- Three restaurants and Naiboli bar
- Overwater Solasta Spa and yoga
The Unique perspective
The setting matters as much as the space: choose the beach for barefoot days and young children, or an overwater house to live above the lagoon. Share your dining habits and outing ideas with your House Master before arrival.
A house that feels like yours
On the beach or above the lagoon, every house has a private pool, separate living room and dedicated butler, known as your House Master. Four options to help you find your place on the island.
Ocean House · 282 m²
One bedroom over the water, an infinity pool and steps down to the lagoon. For waking up surrounded by the ocean.
Beach Residence · 415 m²
An upstairs bedroom and balcony, with living and dining rooms below. A two-storey home with a private pool beside the beach.
Ocean Residence · 453 m²
One overwater bedroom, a spacious lounge and a separate dining room. A generous pool terrace extends the living spaces towards the ocean.
For a larger party, consider the Two-Bedroom Beach Residence, the two-bedroom overwater Nautilus Retreat or the three-bedroom beachfront Nautilus Mansion. Areas shown are the hotel’s published category sizes, not indoor floor areas alone. With young children, we favour the beach; the hotel advises against overwater categories for children under nine.
Dining on your own terms
Three restaurants and a bar, with food and timing tailored to you.
Zeytoun
Fine dining with European and Mediterranean influences.
Ocaso
An open-air grill with Japanese and Latin American flavours.
Thyme
International cooking in a relaxed beach-house setting.
Naiboli
The poolside bar for lingering into the evening.
Time to take it slowly
Solasta Spa
Three overwater treatment pavilions and a yoga space facing the sea. Plan a treatment for two, relaxation or movement sessions around your wishes; treatments and private classes are specified in your proposal.
Explore the lagoon
Snorkelling and non-motorised water sports offer ways to explore the waters around the island. The team adapts outings to sea conditions and each guest’s experience.
Family time
Young Wonderers offers creative activities and nature discovery for children. Experiences for teenagers and shared family moments are arranged with the team around their ages and interests.
Planning your arrival
A direct seaplane flight from Malé takes around 30 minutes. Depending on the transfer selected, shared flights may make stops; a private charter or yacht transfer can also be considered. We coordinate the connection with your international flight and specify the transfers, meals, treatments and experiences included in your proposal.
