Watch the golden sunsets, or enjoy some fun activities at the beach where your view would be the infinite ocean.
2. Barefoot island experiences.
The stretch of sandy white on all Maldives Luxury Resorts is all about fun in the sun. Whichever time of the year you come, Maldives offers sunny weather. Enjoy beach sports with your family, build a sandcastle with your kids, tan away on the white pearl beaches or enjoy your meals on the beach with the waves right next to you and the music of the sea to accompany you.
3. Peaceful havens
Maldives, in other words can be described as one of the most sequestrated holiday destinations, worldwide. Offering you private islands where only the resort staff and holiday makers are accessible of, everything is private and you get to spend your holidays your way, without any disturbance.
4. Excursions
If ever your stay needs some adventure, get your backpack and wander to the islands near your holiday resort, where you can enjoy and explore the Maldivian lifestyle and meet locals, take photographs to treasure with an island kid from the Maldives. Enjoy your journey with your family while you discover the Maldivian way of life, and experience untouched beaches as you explore.
5. Pollution free environment
The Maldives, as you know it, is a thread of little islands, where luxury meets nature. All the resorts are natural and does not have any factories, vehicles, or any source of pollution creating industrial processes carried out anywhere near the luxury resort islands. You and your family will be safe from all the pollution, in fresh air, where you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
6. Sea and Ocean unlimited
Whenever Maldives Luxury Resorts are on your mind, most of the content would be about the crystal clear waters and the beautiful underwater life you can explore. So if you have a thing for the ocean, Maldives is the place to spend your vacation. From water sports like windsurfing jet ski and banana boat rides or fishing trips with family, to diving into the coral gardens or shipwrecks and snorkeling, Maldives can be enjoyed to the fullest in the turquoise waters with your family since the water stays at a warm temperature of 27 degrees all year long.
7. Kids club
Imagine your holidays, with no need to worry over a single thing, not even your kids. The Maldives Luxury Resorts offer Kids clubs, so you can leave your kids with trained staff to look after while giving your kids some good fun and activities to enjoy. Your relaxation and intimate moments won’t be troubled.
8. No distractions, just relaxing
Having your kids around might not be as relaxing if you are in a city where every place has something the kids long for and would go out of their way to get from you. But in the Luxury Maldives Resorts, everything is designed for pure loosening and even the kids will enjoy the arrant peace and harmony.
9. Yachts, the floating luxury
Well the fact that Maldives is mostly sea doesn’t have to be mentioned, but picture cruising away these waters in a yacht. Jumping off the deck and swimming in the middle of the ocean, exploring different coral sites, fishing with your family and having your catch grilled up for lunch or dinner? All reclusive and all that for just your family in an extremely spacious Yacht. Perfect isn’t it?
10. Safe and sound
Wherever you are, your safety and your family’s well being is most important to you. Maldives has disease controlled environments and the Luxury Resorts are away from civilisation, making it safest to the degree of assurance. Your chances of being attacked by a gun is null because they are prohibited for locals, and most of all, there are almost no land transportation and no space for you or your family to get into an accident at the Luxury Resorts. Keeping safety in mind, Maldives offers you the best of it, effortlessly guaranteeing your kids and family a 100% safe vacation.

The Nautilus Maldives redefines children’s spaces with ecoBirdy

The Nautilus Maldives, an ultra-luxury bohemian private island retreat in the heart of the Indian Ocean, has announced a partnership with ecoBirdy, the award-winning Belgian family-owned design brand renowned for its innovative approach to design rooted in social and environmental responsibility.
As part of this collaboration, The Nautilus has redesigned the furnishings of its Young Wonderers children’s club and The Nautilus Lounge at Velana International Airport. These areas now showcase ecoBirdy’s thoughtfully curated and ergonomically designed pieces, created from repurposed plastic toys. The result is an immersive experience for young guests that seamlessly blends creativity, sustainability, and style.
ecoBirdy, founded in 2018 by designers Vanessa Yuan and Joris Vanbriel, originated as a research initiative co-funded by the European Commission. The project aimed to develop a sustainable method for recycling plastic toys. ecoBirdy’s patented recycling process starts with the collection of used toys, undergoes a conscientious recycling journey, and concludes with the crafting of contemporary, functional furniture and home accessories. Central to their designs is ecothylene®—a 100% recycled and recyclable material—used to create visually distinctive and ergonomically supportive products tailored to children’s comfort, autonomy, and development.
From the moment children arrive at The Nautilus Airport Lounge to their playful experiences at Young Wonderers, they are welcomed into environments that emphasise imagination, beauty, and respect for nature. Each ecoBirdy piece is designed to foster children’s independence, featuring ergonomic shapes and easy-to-grip elements that reflect a deep understanding of young behaviour.
Adan Gomez, General Manager of The Nautilus Maldives, expressed that the partnership reflects the resort’s values: “This collaboration embodies The Nautilus’s ethos. Like ecoBirdy, we are family-founded and built on authenticity, creativity, and responsibility. Together, we’ve created inspiring spaces that not only delight our youngest guests but also reflect our commitment to timeless hospitality and respect for our planet.”
Joris Vanbriel, co-founder of ecoBirdy, noted, “True luxury carries a responsibility to future generations. Partnering with The Nautilus allows us to bring sustainable design to a new generation of conscious explorers.” Fellow co-founder Vanessa Yuan added, “We believe design has the power to inspire change. Through this collaboration, we hope to nurture creativity, care, and environmental stewardship among young guests of The Nautilus.”
At The Nautilus, where time stands still and freedom reigns, each young guest is invited to discover that the most meaningful form of luxury lies in living thoughtfully.
