We booked 13 nights at Villa Nautica for our wedding anniversary. We stayed in an overwater Executive Suite. The room with its own private pool was very well appointed and maintained and was nothing short of spectacular! However the biggest delight of our trip was the incredibly friendly. warm and welcoming staff. The staff in the Lagoon restaurant, Rasheed, Bilal, Surjan and all the team were wonderful and constantly looking for ways to make our stay special. The Island Hosts Mihoo and Amine were always available to answer questions and arrange dinners and activities. We cannot say enough about our experience at Villa Nautica and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway. Fingers crossed one day we will get back again!

A beautiful sun kissed location only 20 mins from Male. The island and resort spoils you from the moment you are picked up to the time you leave. We stayed at a beach villa which gave us an unobstructed view of the sunrise every morning, that plus watching the fins of the (harmless) black tip reef sharks circling was simply magical. The sunsets from the pool and Captains bar were equally spectacular!. The staff deserve a special call out; Siham our host for being on call when we needed her, the 3 Queens of Bageecha Geethika, Manikala and Samjhona for their beaming smiles and attentiveness and Vanna, Eyman, Vinnu and Ritesh for their exemplary commitment to service and extra special dishes due to allergies. But there were many others too that made our trip very very special.

We loved our time at Villa Nautica. The island is beautiful, surrounded by clean water, coral, and well maintained beaches. The rooms are sizeable and comfortable with everything you could need on hand. Our Beach villa was right on the water and the facilities were great, but the water villa, which we stayed in for one night, was another level - very modern and sleek and a beautiful place to stay. Everything within the island is reachable in a short walk, or there are golf-carts to help ferry you around. All the staff were attentive and friendly - special mention must be made of our Island host Cynthia who was in regular contact with us throughout our stay and helped us with anything we needed throughout, and kept us up to date on the resort's events. She made our time very special indeed. Likewise Jei and Sanim, our guides for Snorkelling and Scuba Diving respectfully, were both incredible. Friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Everyone went above and beyond. We went Full board, but often bought additional drinks and snacks, which is comfortably a better deal than All Inclusive. You're assigned a restaurant in the resort but they have huge buffet-style spreads for every meal that change daily. Excursions and activities are great value - we swam with Sharks, Stingrays, Turtles and all kinds of wildlife. Whilst this kind of resort in this part of the world may be on the expensive side, the value is really there. Paradise indeed!

We had a beautiful honeymoon at Villa Nautica. We were all inclusive and maximised our food choices, and activities that were available to us. There is so much to say for the resort including its rooms, facilities, and beaches. But what really made our experience so amazing was the food and the staff. The staff went above and beyond to make our holiday as special as possible. The white sandy beaches at the resort were truly paradise, with great snorkelling spots. There were a wide range of sports activities and a full sport centre with regular activities to take part in. Spa was amazing. We stayed in both the beach and villa resort and both were really nice. The rooms were kept to a really high standard by maid service. And finally thank you to our island host Shaihaan who was assigned to us when we entered the resort. He was available 24/7 for anything we needed, answered all our queries and was always so kind and helpful.

This property takes roughly 20 mins via speed boat from the airport, upon arrival you are greeted by very friendly staff and taken via golf carts to the main bar area for some welcome refreshments and cleaning towels. Your host will then explain how everything works around the property and go over any dues. Be aware that if you get in early, you will not be able to check in to your room till after 2pm, recommend bringing your swimsuit to change into so you have something to do. For the room we stayed in the beach villas, the room was spacious with a nice beach view. The room itself can definitely use some updating and they have outdated lamps and lighting/fans. The bathroom was nice with a tub/shower and right outside of the bathroom they have an outdoor shower that was really nice! The rooms get cleaned twice per day, our cleaning person Jeeno was excellent and very attentive! The food and drinks were good with a good selection daily. I definitely recommend buying all inclusive package as the drinks and food are not cheap! The property itself was very pretty with plenty of walking, snorkeling and water sports to do. This has been the clearest water I have seen compared to the Caribbean etc. The only disappointing thing was the areas on the outskirts of the property in the rock walls was very dirty with many water bottles and stare foam pieces of trash. The property could provide trash nets and some trash sticks, I’m sure many people would not mind helping clean up.

Food was good also. As a gold member I didn’t receive any upgrade,but on the last day after checking out we were allowed to use a smaller room until the departure time.

The entire trip was made memorable, and truly exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were luxurious and the rooms were also cleaned twice a day.
