On secluded Bodufushi in the Raa Atoll, there’s a well-being wonderland masquerading as an island, where what some thought impossible has been built – a hotel concept the Maldives hasn’t seen before.

The brain child of Dr Maniku, Maldivian entrepreneur and revered forward-thinker, The Nautilus is inspired by the modern bohemian. What started life as a retirement project – realising his vision to create a dream retreat in the heart of the Maldives – has since evolved into a personal passion to fill and innovate a niche in luxury travel.
A true labour of love, The Nautilus creates a meaningful and unpretentious space where travellers can experience true Maldivian authenticity, how and when they please.
