Getting Here

Immersed in the raw beauty of Baa Atoll at 5°15’44.4”N 73°09’18.6”E, in the middle of the UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and renowned Hanifaru Bay, a hub for manta rays and whale sharks, The Nautilus encompasses 242 x 249 metres of natural beauty.

Upon arrival at Velana International Airport, you are picked up directly from your aircraft and individually escorted to the exclusive CIP lounge (Maamehi Executive Lounge), regardless of the house category booked. No queuing is required as all matters regarding immigration, baggage and customs will be handled on your behalf.

The Nautilus is just 30 minutes from Velana International Airport via The Nautilus' seaplane, shared seaplane, or, a 20 minute domestic flight from Male to Dharavandhoo domestic airport followed by a 20 minute yacht ride.

For guests arriving via personally chartered private jets, landing services are available at local domestic airport, Mafaaru, followed by a direct 2.5 hour transfer via our luxury yacht, Nautilus One.
