The Nautilus Maldives

The Nautilus runs on the premise that 26 houses on a private island in the Baa Atoll is enough guests, and that a dedicated House Master who handles everything from dive bookings to a midnight dinner on the sand is enough staff. Each villa has a private pool and glass doors straight onto the lagoon. Three restaurants exist, but meals can find you anywhere the mood suggests. The glass-bottom spa sits over the reef, which does most of the decorating.
