Activities & Facilities
DivingDive Below the Deep Azure
Just beyond the shores of The Nautilus exists a world beyond time, rich in natural beauty and elemental freedoms. Slip just beneath the surface to deep blue waters and experience freedom without care. Hunt for natural treasures, explore hidden reefs or float weightlessly alongside gentle giants of the sea. The UNESCO Biosphere of Baa Atoll is home to kaleidoscopic marine life unique to Maldivian waters, a wonderland of breathtaking experiences just waiting to be explored.
With access to over 40 dive sites, run by AquaNautica PADI dive centre, we offer a wealth of diving in Baa Atoll and further afield with many of our dive trips being private. Our multi-lingual team run diving courses in the Maldives, refresher and advanced diving for divers of all levels and experience.

Excursions
Set Your Spirit Free
Infinite blue waters shimmer and dance as far as the eye can see. An enchanting world of crystal clear waters and boundless marine life lies just beneath the surface. A jewel in the UNESCO World Biosphere, the waters around The Nautilus invite you to immerse yourself in tranquility as you explore iridescent reefs or follow the movements of majestic manta rays.
Where water meets the land, the Baa Atoll's far-flung sandbanks are perfect havens for an afternoon picnic for two or a restful Champagne-induced snooze. Dine on a deserted island or drift with the wind as you sail through the moonlit waters. Every excursion embraces the boundless freedom and the carefree adventure that can only be found at The Nautilus.
Snorkelling
A World Beneath the Crystal Waves
Don your fins and mask before slipping into the sparkling seas that envelop our house reef. Glide above a vivid world that defies imagination. There is nothing more liberating than spending time among the corals and sea life of our UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Vibrant corals and teeming sea life frame every snorkelling adventure, with opportunities to witness dolphins, mantas and other majestic creatures at every turn. All within easy swimming distance of The Nautilus.
Spa
Come as you are, and in your own time
Solasta Spa is dedicated to subtly transformative moments – to stillness, the release of tension, the childlike liberation of unfettered movement. A moment to catch your breath; another to expel it. To defiantly dispel fatigue, or wholeheartedly embrace it. To revel in the freedom of a quiet mind. All at your own pace, in your way and a time that suits your purpose. Free from rigidity and restraint.
Three glass-bottomed, over-water treatment pavilions await at any hour. Or bring the spa to your house with an in-room treatment. Begin or end your moment in the sauna, steam bath or open-air bath. Surrender to utter bliss in one of our two over-water relaxation lounges. Our focus is on natural healing, enhanced by organic products by Maison Caulieres and Omarovicza.
