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

Overall, we loved our stay here. A couple of things to note if you’re considering booking: - the primary nationals who stay here are Russians. - there is quite a bit of loud construction going on during the low season.. we had to move rooms twice to get away from the noise. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re enjoying your stay. Huge shout out to everyone who works there. Food was really good, especially the buffet at Lagoon restaurant.

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!
