Winter sunshine in the Maldives

Discover your inner Robinson Crusoe in the Maldives this winter.

The Nautilus Maldives, a luxury 26-property resort nestled on Thiladhoo Island in the Baa Atoll, has launched a Winter Escape package.

The seven-night deal includes a private return seaplane transfers, daily breakfast, free dining for two children under 12 years, champagne and welcome platter on arrival, early check-in and late check-out, daily sunset cocktails, personal House Master (a full butler service), complimentary fitness, yoga and meditation classes, VIP welcome on the runway and limousine transfer to the airport’s private lounge while immigration processes are completed at which point you transfer to a private seaplane.

The resort opened last year and offers a raft of amenities and activities, including a dive centre, a house reef to explore, cruises, fishing expeditions and sunset sailing.

The overwater Solasta Spa boasts three glass-floored treatment rooms, a full spa menu and tailored wellness programmes.

Each beach or ocean house comes with a separate living area and private pool. And there’s even a complimentary packing and unpacking service to make this a truly relaxed escape.

Further experiences available with the winter package include a Cinema Under the Stars experience with BBQ dinner, a Solasta Spa ‘Stress Melter’ treatment, a guided house reef snorkelling tour, a private aerial yoga session, a floating Champagne breakfast in your private pool, a sandbank picnic lunch and a Teppinyaki dining experience.

The Maldives opened to overseas guests earlier this summer, all arrivals must have a negative PCR certificate.

Package prices start at US$37,000 for seven nights, or upgrade to a private branded seaplane for an additional US$18,000.
