“A Memorable 40th Wedding Anniversary at Villa Nautica”

Sep 17, 2025gyonbit

My wife and I visited Villa Nautica to relax, enjoy, and indulge in the wonderful food and it turned out to be the perfect choice for our 40th wedding anniversary. Our island host, Glory, made the experience truly special. She was warm, attentive, and thoughtful, ensuring that every detail of our celebration was taken care of. Her kindness and professionalism made us feel at home and allowed us to fully enjoy this milestone in our lives. Villa Nautica provided the ideal setting to celebrate such a meaningful occasion, and we are deeply grateful for the unforgettable memories created here.

“Nice stay for divers in a paradise resort”

Sep 17, 2025lisicui

Very nice stay in a pleasant hotel, beautiful reefs, sandy beaches and emerald water. The beach villa was cosy and nice, the diving facilities are brilliant and diving instructor are superior (special thanks to Kartik!). Rishwaan as the host took great care of us. Overall it was a pleasure to spend a couple of days at Nautica Club. Highly recommended!

“AI could be better, but still a lovely place”

Sep 17, 2025W4436YIclairep

Pros: Beautiful island Amazing staff Beach Villa with pool was amazing Cons: Been to a few islands and this in our view wasn’t a 5* and more of a 4*. No Water pots around the island which is something we have seen in all the islands we have been to. Just strange why staff are sweeping sand up all the time when simple water pots around the resort would save this. Not a lot was included on AI so beware. Couldn’t use the nice fancy Coffee cafe near the pool area on AI, you can get a couple of coffees at the bar or snack bar but nothing fancy. Had to pay for some Cocktails like Daiquiri or Mojito’s. It was ok but not much to choose from. No Burgers, Chips, Hotdogs or Pizzas on AI at lunch time (these you have to pay for) Never been anywhere that you don't get those at a beach bar. You don’t get these in the Buffet either, so if you have children be aware. There is a snack bar that opens 10am-2pm and 4pm-6pm (Chicken or Tuna Sandwiches, cakes, Fruit, Samosas and Savory spring rolls) There is a lunch buffet which has same stuff as evening meal. Evening Buffet opens at 7pm till 9pm which doesn’t give you much time to eat and very busy as everyone is there at same time. Never been to an AI hotel in the Maldives that gives you such a short time to eat. The food was always luke warm as people just leave the lids off everything. No ambiance in the main Buffet, very unwelcoming and bright like a canteen. The food wasn’t the best either, not a great deal to choose from and was expecting better as it’s the Maldives and curry’s are their specialty. There is a Buffett on the Water Villas but only people staying in them can use that Buffet. We went in there and its definitely better than the other Buffet, lovely feel and has outside deck eating area and the food was piping hot too and things looked like it was cooked fresh compared to the other Buffet. On AI you only get one restaurant visit per stay, we went to the Italian which was nice and you could get Pizza there. We booked a Beach Villa, which when I looked on the website the rooms looked ok and obviously need refurbishing to look like the other villas but when we got there it was not good and didn’t look like the website. It looked stained like it had been a smoker’s room, just a window and door to beach which made it dark and dingy, no plugs near the mirror or bathroom and the ones they had were next to the bed seemed faulty. If you wanted to plug something in you had to unplug something else. Bathroom had slats above the door which stayed open and no air conditioning there, so extremely warm, dirty shower curtains, no nice shower gel/conditioner/shampoo like the other rooms. Outside shower was shabby, tired and bare compared to the newer villas. All in all we upgraded to a villa with pool which were amazing and should of just done that in the first place. The Beach Villas just need refurbing painting white and Blue, sliding doors to beach and new outdoor shower area like all the other villas and it would be perfect. All in all we had a lovely time as you are still in the Maldives and the staff and management are lovely too, just needs some tweaks and it will be a 5*
