There are no schedules to go by, except one’s own.
This Easter, The Nautilus has curated pleasures and adventures aplenty for young and old alike to suit every taste and every requirement. Spectacular culinary offerings include a blind champagne tasting at Zeytoun, a sake master class hosted by Executive Chef and sake master Michael Pataran, and inquisitive Nautilus guests can learn to make chocolate like a pro or master the art of tea preparation and appreciation.
Easter at The Nautilus is also full of family-packed fun. Families can bond over joyful activities such as a dolphin cruise, coral reef planting and learning about the rich underwater world from the resident marine biologist. They may also enjoy private Easter afternoon tea anywhere in the resort and beyond, take a Maldivian cooking class with Chef Nalaka, play beach games, race on kayaks, and go on a fun-filled snorkelling scavenger hunt.
The Young Wonderers team of childcare professionals has designed a creative Easter program fit for little princes and princesses. Amongst the many inspiring types of play and discovery are educational nature walks, Maldivian palm leaf origami, bunny gymnastics, carrot hunting, Easter bracelet making, bunny tattoo making, and movie parties. A children’s pool party and mini-Olympic beach games are also on the agenda.
