The Resort — A glamorous island escape just 20 minutes from Malé
Villa Nautica channels the spirit of yacht-life living on a private island in the North Malé Atoll, surrounded by sparkling lagoons and some of the Maldives’ most accessible dive sites. Seven restaurants and bars, Araamu Spa, a Wavy Navy Kids’ Club and a full programme of water sports and excursions give guests of all ages plenty to fill a stay – and the 20-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport means less time travelling and more time in the lagoon. For families, this is one of the most compelling packages in the Maldives – kids stay free with transfers, activities and excursions all included, and the Wavy Navy Kids’ Club provides dedicated programming for younger guests throughout the stay.
Dining at Villa Nautica ensures no two meals need look alike across the stay:
- Bageecha: The resort’s main dining venue, serving international buffet cuisine throughout the day.
- The Lagoon: Fresh seafood and Indian Ocean views in an open-air beachfront setting.
- Ristorante al Tramonto: Beachfront Italian cuisine with sunset views over the water.
- Hook: A dedicated seafood restaurant for fresh catches and ocean-inspired dishes.
- Fukuya Teppanyaki: Live Japanese cooking theatre with skilled chefs at the iron griddle.
- Press & Pot: A relaxed all-day cafe for coffee, light bites and fresh pastries.
- Dhaavani Coffee Shop: The resort’s casual coffee stop for quick bites throughout the day.
- Captain’s Bar & Beach Bar: Two bars for sundowners, cocktails and everything in between.
Your Handpicked Inclusions — Kids stay free with transfers, activities & excursions included
From the moment you step off the speedboat at Villa Nautica’s jetty, the island takes care of everything. All-inclusive is the norm here, with the base package covering all dining and unlimited daily free-flow drinks. No add-ons, just full access to the resort’s dining scene from day one. Kids stay free with return speedboat transfers and all activities and excursions covered, making this a rare all-in Maldives package for families. Araamu Spa is on hand for treatments between days on the water, and the resort’s full water sports programme – snorkelling, diving, surfing and more – keeps active guests well occupied from sunrise to sunset. Captain’s Class nautical lessons, the Crow’s Nest lookout and the Cocoon Lounge hammock zone add a few distinctly Villa Nautica touches to round out the experience.
