The Nautilus Maldives
Thiladhoo, Maldives
On Thiladhoo Island in Baa Atoll, The Nautilus is a small private-island resort within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Its 26 beach and ocean houses and residences range from one-bedroom retreats to larger family properties, with private pools and space to dine or relax privately. The defining idea is an unscheduled stay: guests can arrange meals around their own plans, while the surrounding lagoon, house reef and nearby Hanifaru Bay make the marine setting central to the experience.
