Maldives – Pulse Hotels & Resorts continues to build momentum across its growing Maldives portfolio, unveiling a new season of creative collaborations, conservation-led initiatives and distinctive guest experiences designed around the character of each destination.

From welcoming acclaimed British artist Phoebe Dickinson at The Nautilus Maldives and strengthening marine conservation initiatives at Nova Maldives, to creating a new platform for Maldivian creative talent at Eri Maldives and introducing an action-packed final quarter of the year at Kandima Maldives, the group continues to develop each property through experiences that reflect its individual identity.

Looking ahead, Pulse Hotels & Resorts is preparing to open Aura Maldives in 2027, while The Coral Residences will further expand the group’s presence in the luxury residential ownership sector.

The Nautilus Maldives Celebrates Creative Freedom and Unscripted Festive Experiences

Set within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, The Nautilus Maldives continues to offer highly personalised experiences inspired by creativity, exploration and freedom.

As part of The Nautilus’ Masters for Masters creative programme, the island will welcome acclaimed British artist Phoebe Dickinson from 18 to 21 October 2026 for Portraits from a Living Postcard. During her stay, guests will have the opportunity to observe Dickinson at work through open studio sessions, participate in creating their own postcard artworks and discover her complete collection inspired by The Nautilus during the final exhibition.

The resort is also continuing its commitment to marine conservation through its Reef Guardianship initiative, which aims to deepen awareness of the marine environment of Baa Atoll and the importance of protecting its fragile ecosystems.

Further strengthening its position within the international luxury travel and advisor community, The Nautilus Maldives has joined the American Express Travel® Fine Hotels + Resorts® programme for 2026.

The resort will close out the year with Bohemian Odyssey, a festive journey combining spontaneous dining experiences, rejuvenating rituals at Solasta Spa, Art of Bohemia experiences and creative activities for younger guests through Young Wonderers. The celebrations will also feature golden-hour gatherings and festive dinners beneath the stars, with experiences tailored to each guest and reflecting The Nautilus’ philosophy of freedom from conventional schedules and expectations.

Nova Maldives Adds Purpose to Its Good Soul Days Experiences

At Nova Maldives, meaningful connections with people, place and the ocean remain at the heart of the Good Soul Days concept, with an increasing focus on marine conservation and community-led experiences.

The programme includes a Manta Quest, whale shark encounters, Dive Against Debris, coral restoration and educational experiences connected to the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme.

A key element of the island’s refreshed programme is the Beach Shack Takeover, transforming Eri’s beachfront space into a platform for Maldivian chefs, mixologists, musicians, artisans and wellness practitioners.

The programme will feature a series of pop-up experiences, ranging from mixology-led evenings and relaxed sunset music sessions to showcases by local artisans, giving guests new opportunities to discover and engage with contemporary Maldivian talent.

During the festive season, Eri will embrace the spirit of La Dolce Vita, inspired by the relaxed rhythm and beauty of island life. The celebrations will combine long lunches beneath palm trees, musical evenings and gatherings under the stars, creating a warm and social atmosphere that reflects Eri’s deep connection with its people and surroundings.
