The hotel

Villa Nautica, Paradise Island is a chic Maldivian escape where luxury meets laid-back island life. Just a short speedboat ride from Malé, it’s ideal for honeymooners or anyone after a touch of paradise without the long transfer. Overwater and beachfront villas open straight onto turquoise lagoons or golden sands, many with private pools or bubbling whirlpools for those dreamy sunset dips. Days drift by between the infinity pool, the world-class spa, and the countless ways to dive into the ocean - from paddleboarding at sunrise to discovering colourful reefs just a fin-flip away. And for something special to round off the day, ask about a private beach dinner under the stars. Whether you’re here to soak up the serenity or make a splash, Villa Nautica promises crystal-clear waters, flawless service, and the kind of memories that linger long after you’ve flown home.

This was our second time to nautica villa ..Very happy with the overall stay .. a big kudos to Mrs Geethika Fernando who ensured my son was been pampered with best of foods , she personally got involved and took care of us like a family member … secondly Mr Jalal from housekeeping who kept our room up to date … be it day or night .. he ensured as soon as we leave our room - when we returned back our room was kept up to date .. would also like to thank the rockstar of the island .. i.e Mr Samy .. he’s a multitalented dude and my son have turned his fan in just 3 days … Mr Samy is a livewire and you should watch his fire show and magic tricks !!! haven’t seen such a multi talented individual !! last but not the least would like to update the efforts of Mr Rushikesh .. who for entire 6 days of our stay was in constant touch with us and be in lunch / dinner or breakfast he was the one who ensured we get what we wished … even during his off day he was available for us … shows his dedication .. also provided some some complementary services … would like to add two more names that is Chef Aman and Mrs Manikala.. who too ensured our dining was taken care of .. Only two things which we didn’t like in our stay .. one was the day I reached we met with one assistant chef at coffee shop - he was a bit rude - don’t know why and second was during our stay we noticed many flags been hanged of different countries however there was no Indian flag despite so many tourist preferred to stay in that resort .. however Mr Samy did a good gesture wherein he brought Indian flag and got my son clicked some picture with flag in the background ! Would loved to give it a 5 star however due to last two issues would give 4 stars Read less

It was a family gathering for us and Laisha made it very easy for us to settle in. We enjoyed the water sports, dolphin cruise, scuba diving, snorkeling and ofcourse the beach, the sunset, the food and the ambience. Laisha was always there to help us. Tku.

We stayed at the Villa Nautica resort for 6 days in April. It’s an astonishingly beautiful place. Everything about our time there was fantastic. Led by our resort contact Soltana, the hospitality and disposition of all of the staff is something we’ll remember fondly for a very long time. David and Elaine Ross
