Whether it’s an interactive teppanyaki-style dinner, a seafood lunch at sea on our traditional Maldivian fishing boat, or a private barbeque under a thousand stars as the air fills with the fragrant scent of our flower gardens, you’re spoilt for choice at Villa Nautica.

Barefoot dining at its best, a ‘dig-in-dinner’ is especially created on the beach for you…

A specially dug table and chairs in the sand is quite simply the most authentic way to experience dining on the sand under a balmy night sky. Set up especially for you in a secluded beach location – it’s always surprise so we’ll leave you do discover the rest!

Authentic and relaxing, our private seafood lunch at sea is a treat. Enjoy the freshest catch of the day on our traditional Maldivian-style, wooden houseboat. Have a quick swim or snorkel to cool off and then sit down for a seafood lunch or celebratory lunch to remember, particularly if it’s a special birthday or anniversary.

Our seafood dinner at sea is an utterly romantic treat: we’ll sail you out to our traditional Maldivian-style, wooden houseboat at sundown for cocktails, followed by a seafood dinner to by lantern light. Milestone celebration? Anniversary? Elopement? Be sure to book a Dhoni dinner one evening… or better still, book a Night on the Waves and be lulled to sleep by the rhythmical ebb and flow of the tides.
