About Paradise Island / Villa Nautica
Paradise Island Resort, now branded Villa Nautica, sits on Lankanfinolhu in North Malé Atoll, about 20 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport. We reach it by boat from our base. It is a long, narrow island with an extended beach on both sides, a large lagoon, beach bungalows, and a stretch of overwater villas. A popular, well-priced resort close to Malé, it gives us long beaches to work with and easy sunset access, and suits families and groups as well as couples.
