Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort

#maldiveshotel This resort is the definition of fun in the Maldives. Villa Nautica (Paradise Island) is only a short speedboat from the airport, so I was on the beach within an hour of landing. My beach villa opened right onto soft white sand, and the lagoon was calm enough for daily swims. There were lots of activities — jet skiing, snorkeling trips, and even evening crab races. The Italian restaurant was my favorite. It’s lively compared to some remote islands, so great for groups.
