Known for its bespoke experiences, from petal covered walkways to private film screenings on the beach, The Nautilus Maldives is one of those highly sought-after gems of Maldivian hospitality that always leaves a mark on those who visit. This February, the award-winning private island resort is launching its Month of Love for couples who want to say “I Do” all over again to re-ignite the spark and commemorate the love that has deepened and matured between them. Leaving no stone unturned in order to ensure a memorable vow renewal experience of a lifetime, this beautiful Bohemian-style resort strives to leave a mark on those who visit it.
Every vow renewal ceremony is artfully tailored to each couples’ personal preferences and desires to highlight their unique charms and ensure they live this special day like a true fairytale. The special sandbank celebration set-up can be as simple or as elaborate as envisioned, from a flowered wedding arch for an intimate ceremony, to a bigger affair with a Boho-styled tent, bonfire, fireworks, a bottle of Krug Champagne for toasting and the rhythmic beating of Bodu Beru drums before and after the ceremony.
The following day, the couples may start with a floating breakfast in the house pool and the day can either unfold into an adventuresome excursion or simply turn into a relaxing time in one’s house or at Solasta Spa. A dedicated House Master will be available to help create the perfect itinerary during a couple’s stay, so one can cater to their lover’s every whim. One can even rent out the entire island for the ultimate alone time with loved ones. The Nautilus’s stunning surroundings also serve as an ideal canvas for a dream wedding with a wealth of venues and experiences to choose from.
Whether marking their vow renewal or simply celebrating spending quality time together, The Nautilus abounds with specially curated experiences designed to ignite love and romance. During the Month of Love, couples will be able to indulge in a luxurious dreamy escape in a tropical paradise, with exceptional romantic dinners curated by the world-class culinary team and pampering holistic wellness treatments at The Nautilus’s Solasta Spa.
