Villa Nautica Wins Best Resort Pool in Maldives

Monday 23rd of June 2025

Villa Nautica’s stunning infinity pool has been named the Best Resort Pool in the Maldives by readers of the Travel + Leisure Asia Pacific Luxury Awards 2025. This recognition highlights the resort’s unique ability to blend thoughtful design with the natural beauty of its surroundings.

Located in North Malé Atoll, just a short speedboat ride from the capital, Villa Nautica’s 1,350-square-meter pool has become the heart of the resort. It stretches towards the horizon, mirroring the sea beyond and creating a calming, almost meditative experience for guests.

Unlike pools that demand attention, this one invites stillness. Its design allows the pool to gently fade into the landscape, where the sea, sky, and water seem to merge. Sun loungers are carefully placed to maximise comfort and capture the best light, making the space ideal from sunrise to sunset.

Just steps away, guests find Press & Pot, a favourite café offering artisanal coffee, fresh pastries, and tropical fruits. The scent of espresso mixes with the ocean breeze, creating a laid-back yet refined atmosphere.

Villa Nautica’s approach to luxury is subtle but deliberate. From the smooth stone paths to the rustling palms and the glass-like surface of the pool at dusk, every detail enhances the guest experience.

In a destination known for world-class resorts, Villa Nautica has carved out its place by creating a space not just to swim—but to truly unwind. The award is a reflection of a design that values peace, connection, and the quiet beauty of the Maldives.
