The spa at The Nautilus Maldives called Solasta meaning
'radiant and bright' is dedicated to transformative moments, founded on the islands
guiding concept of time stands still.
At Solasta, which welcomes its guests 24-hours a day, guests are encouraged to come for
treatment when they wish and stay for as long as they need, with the standout treatment
being an immersive, bespoke spa sequence designed for each guest by the spa specialist
which can last for as long as wished. For the unsure spa-goer, a selection of three-hour spa
journeys, each designed for effectiveness at particular times of the day is a perfect starting
point. These are Dawn of the Senses for early morning energising; Your Song for an
afternoon refresh; and Quiet Calm for evening relaxation.
Of course its still possible to book a simple massage or therapy at any time of day or night
from over 36 different treatments. Alongside a full range of classic massages, visitors will
also find more uncommon offerings such as a volcanic stone healing massage; a blue
diamond facial; and flower of guerande body wrap.
Set on stilts over a lagoon, the spas three over-water treatment pavilions all have glass
floors, a steam-sauna and private changing room, while treatments use an alchemy of
thoughtfully-sourced, effective, sustainable products from France and Hungary with local
coconut oils, fruits and plants enhancing the experience. Therapeutic pre- and posttreatment bathing experiences take place in the spa pavilions outdoor decks under azure
skies and above turquoise waters.
The timeless manifesto of Solasta Spa is encapsulated in the opening pages of its brochure:
Time is a travelling companion. It hastens with us, and slows when we let it. Each moment
is subtly transformative, creating memories and adding to our personal blueprint. Solasta
Spa is dedicated to these moments to stillness, the release of tension, the childlike
liberation of unfettered movement. A moment to catch your breath; another to expel it. To
defiantly dispel fatigue, or wholeheartedly embrace it. To revel in the freedom of a quiet
mind. Spa treatments are like alchemy for the soul transforming earthbound elements
into sublime experiences.
Treatment focus is on natural healing, enhanced by organic products by Maison Caulières
from France and Omorovicza from Hungary, which are exclusive to Solasta in the Maldives
and were chosen for their natural yet efficacious ingredients. Maison Caulières is made
with natural plants, herbs and virgin oils from the Loire Valley, in the heart of the gardens
of France with treatments inspired by the elements of nature and expressed through the
four seasons. Omorovicza is based on Budapests thermal mineral waters; a magical
phenomenon from a medieval healing spring famous for its curative properties.
Opened in February 2019 and with only 26 beach and ocean houses on a tiny coral reefencircled island, The Nautilus Maldives is a bohemian hideaway located in Baa Atoll, a
UNESCO biosphere reserve. Here, a kaleidoscopic wonderland of incredible marine life
awaits discovery: trips to world-renowned Hanifaru Bay to swim amongst manta rays;
diving on iridescent coral reefs; exploring remote sandbanks and deserted islands or just
cruising the ocean on a custom-built yacht are among the many adventures guests can
