Nautical Luxury in North Male Atoll · 20 Minutes from the Airport
The Experience
Villa Nautica, formerly Paradise Island Resort, is a cosmopolitan island retreat just twenty minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport. Reimagined with a sophisticated nautical theme, this resort blends the convenience of proximity to Male with the serenity of its own private island, surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of North Male Atoll.
The dining programme spans six distinctive venues: Bageecha Restaurant anchors the experience with international buffets, Farumathi serves fresh-caught seafood on the reef edge at sunrise, Fukuya delivers authentic teppanyaki theatre, and Ristorante Al Tramonto offers Italian romance at the end of the main jetty. The Lagoon Restaurant provides exclusive water-villa dining, while Crows Nest and Hulhangu Bar serve cocktails with panoramic island views.
Araamu Spa provides a tropical wellness sanctuary, while the PADI dive centre opens the door to North Male Atolls vibrant underwater world. With its unbeatable accessibility and diverse offerings, Villa Nautica proves that paradise doesnt require a seaplane — just a speedboat and twenty minutes of anticipation.
