Villa Nautica: Yacht-Life Glamour in North Malé Atoll

Oct 15

Just 20 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, *Villa Nautica* (formerly Paradise Island Resort) perches gracefully on Lankanfinolhu Island in **North Malé Atoll**. It’s more than just a resort — it’s a celebration of seafaring elegance, white-sanded beaches, vibrant lagoons, and the kind of spirited style that makes every sunset feel like the opening act of something special.

Accommodation: Water, Beach & Private Pools

Villa Nautica offers around 282 villas and suites across styles: beach villas, water villas (some with whirlpools), over-water suites, family beach villas, ocean suites with private pools — many with private terraces or sun decks right above or beside the lagoon.

Highlights include:

Deluxe Beach Pool Villas (~150 sqm), with ocean views and plunge pools.
Water Villas with deck access and, in many cases, sunrises over the lagoon.
Larger suites for families or groups: Two-bedroom Ocean Suite with Pool.

Dining & Atmosphere

Villa Nautica is lively. It mixes glamour with comfort across its food, drink, and social spots:

Multiple restaurants that serve everything from fresh seafood and Maldivian flavours to global cuisine.
Vibrant bars, poolside lounges, and quayside-dock settings for cocktails during sunset.
Spa: The Araamu Spa, tucked among lush greenery, for treatments that soothe and restore.

Things To Do & Island Vibe

Water sports, diving (via DiveOceanus), excursions to explore reefs, snorkeling.
Family-friendly amenities: Kids’-club (“Wavy Navy”) and programs for younger guests.
