It was our wedding anniversary and we got spoilt so much it really made it special
It was our 2nd time here and we will be back !
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Nautica!! The resort was beautiful, our over water villa was perfect! There were no bugs or creepy crawlers at all!! Ifraaz, Pervez and Dewi helped make our stay outstanding, as they went above and beyond to provide superior service! The food was delicious and the resort offered a variety of food options!
Great hospitality from staff. Housekeeping was excellent. But there were disparities in the room. We were upgraded to a water villa with hot tub because of a leak in our prwvious water villa. Out host, Ajlan handled it quickly
We had a wonderful time at the amazing Vila nautica. The staff were all so friendly and polite.
Our host Azha was so helpful and just a perfect host.
Also the food was delicious with plenty of choice.
The staff in the restaurant were so kind and courteous. Special thanks to Geethika, Akshay, Ram and Rahul who were always attentive and wanting a friendly chat.
The deluxe room was just perfect with outdoor showers and straight out on to a wonderful beach.
So would just like to say a big THANK YOU !!!
A truly amazing experience to stay at Villa Nautica from the first minute with an individual welcome greeting, in a most wonderful setting , prestine white beaches, crystal clear waters, great onsite restaurants, many activity offerings and last but not least an amazing staff throughout the property.
This is a hit and miss hotel... it just depends on your preference
My pros:
The property and room is stunning, the landscaping beautiful, the snorkeling is fab, bed comfortable, 20mins fron airport, Geethinka & Ram in the restaurant are brilliant!
My cons: food not good, felt like it was run by accountants - all inclusive ended at 12pm day of departure - all inclusive options not good for drinks food & mini bar they were really tight, staff not happy and do not like working there, was supposed to get a bottle of bottle of sparkling wine for our honeymoon never got it, tried to arrange floating breakfast was told "no they cant do it" no alternative, food terrible ( i had to put in twice it was so bad )
Such a shame as it was our honeymoon and a zero birthday, wasnt ruined but dont think we will go back.
A truly enjoyable holiday.
Great room, good resort facilities and nice evening activities. Water sports provided were wonderful.
Staff were very helpful and polite. Special thanks to MAHASWETA who looked after us carefully with prompt response on our requests throughout our stay.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay. There really wasnt anything that let this island down. The food was incredible, the service on point and there wasnt a chance to get bored with all the activities and facilities available.
The dive centre is the best ive ever been to. All the staff there were super helpful. The dive guides extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to dive with. Our guide Kartik was brilliant. He took us to some mind blowing dive spots all only a short distance from the island. We also did a night dive on the house reff which is just beautiful.
Magical stay, beautiful beaches and pool! I stayed in the delux pool villa and the eater villa and both were exceptional! Highly recommended to everyone thinking about going.
We had a fantastic honeymoon stay here. The food here was lovely and the setting and service was amazing. Biplob was an amazing host and sorted out everything for us for a very smooth experience.
The accommodations were luxurious, the food was delectable, and the activities offered were diverse and enjoyable. Amazing location, Good food and good hospitality. Our Host was very cooperative and kept us up to date with the day schedule in the resort.
A great resort with very friendly staff. The food & drinks are great. Lots of free entertainment. Sharks, fish, stingrays & the water around the resort are out of this world.
The island is beautiful and very relaxing. Being able to walk out of our villa onto the beach and snorkel with the amazing sea life was the highlight of the trip for us.
All of the staff were friendly and helpful with special mention to Helan, our housekeeper, and the wait staff in Bageecha Restaurant who were particularly attentive.
Towards the end of our stay, we were thrilled to receive a complementary room upgrade to a stunning water villa. It was such a treat for our last night.
Overall, it was an incredible trip that we will never forget.
Beautiful property in a stunning setting.
Great food and facilities.
All the staff in all the areas provide an exceptional service. Kind, friendly, polite, professional and caring.
One of the best holidays we’ve ever had
Hands down the best Holiday we have been on. Services was INCREDIBLE, they went above and beyond and kept surprising us with little extra details that made our trip so special. Special shoutout to Tharun from the Lagoon restaurant, best waiter we have ever had!
The Villa Nautica Island was truly paradise and snorkeling was next level. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a 5 star experience in the maldives.

I had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Villa Nautica in the Maldives and I can only say: WOW! The staff was incredibly attentive and accommodating, always ready to fulfill any request. The cleanliness throughout the resort was impressive, everything literally sparkled. The food was a true delight for the senses - fresh, diverse, and deliciously prepared. But the best part was the warm friendliness that was shown everywhere. I wholeheartedly recommend Villa Nautica - a paradise on Earth!
On scale of 10 I would give this place 10👍 especially when you look at the cost “ you are getting more than what you are paying “ compared with other resorts in Maldives.
Friendly staff, clean facilities overall, variety of food, a lot of activities.
We spent 4 days here and they went too fast.
Me and my family would like to say a big thank to the resort management team for the wonderful surprise that they present for my daughter’s birthday.
Definitely we will do it again soon.
Thank you
Amazing place to disconnect.I went there with my friends for a long weekend.We spent time together snorkelling,walking in the beach,attending the yoga lessons and just watching the sunset and sunrise.
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.
