Villa Nautica’s signature infinity pool has been voted the Best Resort Pool in the Maldives by readers of the Travel + Leisure Asia Pacific Luxury Awards 2025

According to the resort, the 1,350-square-meter pool is not just a feature,  it is the heart of Villa Nautica.

Calm and expansive, the pool reflects the ocean beyond and transforms swimming into a deliberate and tranquil experience.

Designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, it invites guests into a space where the boundaries between nature and architecture quietly disappear.

Nestled in the North Malé Atoll, just a short speedboat ride from the capital, the pool stretches toward the ocean, creating the illusion of floating in the open sea while remaining on land.

Villa Nautica describes it as a pool that doesn’t demand attention but gently invites it.

Following the resort’s redevelopment from the former Paradise Island to Villa Nautica, the infinity pool has been warmly embraced by visitors.

As the central highlight of the island, the pool continues to be a popular spot for guests to relax in the sun, enjoy a coffee, and take in the natural beauty of the Maldives even during the early morning hours.

Villa Nautica states that the award reflects not only the elegance of the pool’s design but also the world-class hospitality and service provided by its team.

The recognition highlights the resort's commitment to excellence and the close connection it shares with its guests.
