Published

on

Newly opened LUX* North Male Atoll has a special Easter surprise! The island is organising an underwater golden egg hunt in its crystal clear lagoon with an ultimate prize of a complimentary night’s stay at the resort. The whole island will be transformed into a magical Easter wonderland with insta-worthy human-sized Easter eggs all around the island as well as ‘one of a kind’ magical experiences for everyone.

The resort will offer guided dives to famous dive spots and shipwrecks, manta and turtle snorkelling, fun water sports activities such as jet ski rides, sea bobs, parasailing and Easter bunny’s flyboarding show organised by Best Dives Maldives, the resort’s exclusive operator of diving and watersports.

Naturally there will be an array of fun and creative activities especially for the little ones at the kid’s club Play such as Easter basket crafting, cookie decorating classes, fun origami rabbit making and the quest for finding Mr Bunny to name a few.

The island is truly a food lover’s paradise and Easter will bring its magic to the table by serving family style barbecues with Asian, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean and International inspired specialties at the Glow Restaurant. Rooftop dining experiences where guests can relish those family moments with barbecues and private cinema screenings in their own villa will of course be available as well. Special tasting experiences will be offered at the resort’s secluded underground dining area Barium where guests can indulge in home-made chocolates, cheese, wines and whiskeys accompanied by the stunning aquarium of dazzling corals and fishes.

Don’t miss the fun cooking classes such as mastering the island’s five signature ceviche dishes as well as chocolate egg crafting classes for the little ones. Easter Sunday is celebrated with a champagne floating brunch at Beach Rouge, offering the spectacular views of the Indian ocean feet-in-sand. In the evening guests can cozy up to a Cinema Paradiso movie on the beach and enjoy bonfires and tasty s’mores.

LUX* Me Spa — the resort’s overwater wellness sanctuary — offers Easter special sunrise yoga at the rooftop terrace or sandbank, special chocolate & gold spa massages, mini chocolates facials, Easter inspired nail art and fun family face masking classes. All the experiences are designed to make the guests feel rejuvenated, revived and rekindled.

Easter is a time for families and traditions and LUX* North Male Atoll has curated unforgettable experiences and island surprises designed for all.

A short transfer from Male by speedboat, this intimate resort is a visual feast of nautical forms and tones. A next-level resort that sweeps away the thatched-roofed Maldivian footprint of old with a dazzling paradise of penthouse villas and spectacularly designed spaces to play, relax and retreat. Harnessing the fresh vision of Singapore design house Miaja, each of the 67 double storey residences and rooftop features a private pool blending superyacht panache with a vibrant South Beach pulse with four elegant eateries and two bars.

For the first time in the Maldives, each residence is crowned with a magnificent private rooftop relaxing area. There’s a wealth of ways to relax or raise your game, and the invitations to adventure are endless. Guests will find two swimming pools, a translucent overwater LUX* ME Spa, world-renowned diving, high adrenaline water sports, private yacht voyages, tennis and beach volleyball courts.

The Nautilus Maldives launches children’s sustainability workshops in partnership with ecoBirdy

Published

on

On 29 October 2025, as the world celebrates conscious living, The Nautilus Maldives, an ultra-luxury bohemian private island hideaway, invites families to embark on a journey of transformation, creativity, and renewal. Debuting on World Sustainability Day, The Nautilus introduces a new series of monthly sustainability workshops for families, developed by ecoBirdy, a like-minded innovator in circular design.

Earlier this year, The Nautilus introduced its sustainability partnership with ecoBirdy—an award-winning, family-run design brand renowned for its imaginative approach to socially and environmentally responsible design. Curated for Young Wonderers, this collaboration now deepens with immersive, hands-on workshops designed to blend creativity, learning, and environmental awareness.

Each workshop invites children and their families to discover the hidden potential in plastic waste. Through the guided storytelling of ecoBirdy’s “Journey to a New Life” based on real-world research, young minds trace the path of discarded toys—where they drift, how they degrade, and how they can be reimagined through the art of upcycling.

The storytelling soon turns into meaningful action. Children take part in a gentle beach clean-up, gathering plastic fragments from the island’s shores. Back at Young Wonderers, they sort, shred, and reshape reclaimed materials using the first recycling injection machine of its kind in the Maldives to craft a nautilus shell with a colourful swirl effect—created by ecoBirdy exclusively for The Nautilus. The final creation is The Nautilus Pendant, finished with locally-sourced Banyan Tree rope—a quiet, elegant symbol of transformation and mindful intent.

More than a creative activity, this experience is an invitation to rethink value, explore circularity, and return home with a keepsake that embodies care, consciousness, and creativity. Through this ongoing partnership with ecoBirdy, The Nautilus reaffirms its commitment to a more sustainable future and conscious living—where even the smallest hands and gestures can leave a meaningful mark.

Reinforcing the resort’s dedication to sustainability, the Marine Conservation Hub provides an engaging educational experience for guests of all ages. Families can explore the local marine ecosystem with the resident biologists and take part in hands-on conservation efforts during their visit.

The Greenhouse, one of the Maldives’ largest hydroponic gardens, complements these efforts. Guests are invited to participate in the Family Foraging experience, where they can learn about hydroponic farming, harvest fresh produce together, and enjoy a communal Harvest Table—an experience designed to spark curiosity and environmental mindfulness in younger guests.

At the Le Méridien Family Kids Hub, children are immersed in a world of creative learning. This vibrant space hosts a variety of daily activities including arts and crafts, junior mixology classes, marine awareness sessions, and a signature kids’ night camping experience.
