PAID CONTENT FOR VILLA NAUTICA
Villa Nautica NORTH MALÉ ATOLL, MALDIVES
Just 20 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, Villa Nautica is a chic island with a cosmopolitan edge. It blends yacht-life polish with the calm of a private lagoon, so you can arrive swiftly, slow down immediately and still feel plugged into a stylish scene. The resort’s Quayside Life concept sets the tone: central, cosmopolitan and chic meet a lifestyle that’s bustling, convivial and chilled, making this a social hub with an elegant marine spirit. Days open with a swim in the vast infinity pool,
named Best Resort Pool in the Maldives at the Travel + Leisure Asia Pacific Luxury Awards 2025, before an espresso at Press & Pot, the coffee bar that keeps the island’s rhythm steady from first light. If you prefer a gentler start, wander the pearly beach and watch the lagoon turn from silver to blue. The draw offshore is serious. North Malé Atoll is
one of the Maldives’ classic diving grounds, with manta and stingray encounters in season, and an excellent PADI-certified dive centre that can arrange day and night excursions for everyone from beginners right up to professionals. With famous
sites within easy reach, you can take a morning drift and still be back for lunch. Lunch might be breezy and barefoot by the
water. Evenings more sociable. There’s theatre at Fukuya Teppanyaki, a Riviera mood at the Italian overwater restaurant and Hook, the signature seafood venue, serves the best of the day’s catch. Expect elegant crudo, precise grilling and bright sauces that let the fish speak. The wine list leans to crisp whites and textured rosés, and cocktails are mixed with a light touch to suit the salty air. When you want to disconnect, the Araamu Spa
hides among tropical gardens with saunas, steam and whirlpool baths, and therapists who know how to refresh the body after a long day in the sun. The intent is restorative rather than performative, with treatments designed to settle both body and mind. Design carries the narrative indoors. Rooms pair
contemporary lines with seafarer details and a cool palette of blues, warm woods and sailor stripes. It feels like a private berth arranged by someone with an eye for texture and light, and a sense of how you really live on an island.
DON’T MISS Swim at Drift Lankan Manta Point, dine at Hook, have an aperitivo at Al Tramonto and end the evening at Captain’s Bar
