Experience This: Nautilus Maldives exclusive buyout

As the new decade dawns, what could be finer than a private island getaway, where you can kick back and make a bucket list for the years ahead? The new exclusive option from luxury retreat The Nautilus Maldives lets you do exactly that – with 92 of your nearest and dearest.

The ‘Nautilus Solitaire’ experience – ideal for a high-end incentive retreat – delivers an entirely personalised island buyout to the stunning UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, with exclusive use of the entire island, luxurious accommodation with private butler service, airside VIP arrival service plus return transfers via the resort’s liveried seaplane and breakfast.

The 26 houses and residences are furnished with boho-luxe fabrics and works, and each features their own large private pool, while the overwater spa specialises in bespoke wellness programmes and daily rituals, while the reef will delight guests looking to explore the natural surrounds.

From sunrise sashimi on the sandbank to moonlit meze, whatever the hour, The Nautilus’ chefs are on hand and dining is relaxed and unscheduled. Restaurants include the overwater fine dining restaurant Zeytoun, beachside grill Ocaso and the poolside bar Naiboli.
