Villa Nautica NORTH MALÉ ATOLL, MALDIVES


Villa Nautica carries the ease of the Maldives with the polish of a sunlit island escape. Set in North Malé Atoll, the private island is reached by a swift speedboat crossing from Velana International Airport. Within minutes of landing, travellers move from runway to reef, arriving to white sand, bright lagoon blues and a resort shaped by ocean-facing style. The island is romantic without feeling remote,


relaxed without ever becoming sleepy. Villas are arranged along the beach and over the water, with terraces made for slow mornings, sea-facing afternoons and private moments at sunset. At the centre of the island is its 1,350 sq metre


infinity pool. Framed by palms and open sky, it appears to spill towards the lagoon beyond, creating one of the resort’s most cinematic places to spend the day. A swim before lunch, a long pause on a lounger, the sea turning silver in the late afternoon — this is where Villa Nautica’s easy glamour comes into focus. Dining adds another layer to the island’s character. Bageecha and The Lagoon bring


generous international spreads to the day, while Ristorante al Tramonto sets Italian dining over the water. Hook serves seafood by the shore, Fukuya Teppanyaki adds theatre to the evening and Press & Pot offers the small luxury of handcrafted brews, teas and sweet treats between swims. For something more secluded, Seawall Specialities brings picnic-style dining to the island’s edge, with wicker baskets of seasonal bites enjoyed against uninterrupted ocean views. Beyond the table, the resort’s North Malé Atoll


setting opens easily onto the water. Guests can snorkel, dive, try watersports or simply follow the lagoon’s changing colours through the day. Wellness finds its place at Araamu Spa, which is set within tropical greenery and made for post- ocean restoration. Villa Nautica isn’t a silent castaway fantasy. Its


charm is brighter than that: a lagoon-side island with style, ease and just enough glamour, where the best moments might be a coffee at Press & Pot, a seafood dinner by the water or an afternoon by the pool as the whole island seems to turn gold.


DON’T MISS Order something cold, find the pool’s edge and let the lagoon do the rest
