5 Water Sports to Try in the Maldives
With its shimmering lagoons and endless shades of blue, the Maldives is a dream destination for unforgettable water sports. At Nova Maldives, the ocean is your playground, with endless ways to enjoy the blue. Whether you are new to the waves or already a pro, every activity here is designed to spark joy and bring you closer to the soul of the sea.
Feel the Rush of the Blue
If you are in the mood for a little thrill, Nova has plenty of ways to get your pulse racing on the water. Take a jet ski across the turquoise lagoon and feel the spray on your skin as you speed past endless blues. Try water skiing or wakeboarding for that perfect mix of balance and excitement. For a bird’s-eye view of the island, parasailing will lift you high above the sea, giving you a moment that feels almost unreal.
Let the Lagoon Lead You
For those who prefer to move with the rhythm of the sea, Nova’s non-motorised water sports are the perfect way to enjoy the lagoon. Glide across calm waters in a kayak or take a stand-up paddleboard and let the ocean set the pace as you drift along. If you are ready for a challenge, try windsurfing and feel the breeze guide your sail, or take to the sky with kite surfing, harnessing the power of the wind for an unforgettable ride.
Dive into the Soul of the Sea
Slip beneath the surface and discover a world that feels endless. With snorkelling and diving, you will explore vibrant reefs alive with turtles and corals of all colours. Swim alongside manta rays as they glide through the blue, and meet the gentle whale sharks of South Ari. If you prefer to stay above the water, join one of Nova’s excursions and set out on a dolphin quest or drift into the evening on a sunset cruise where the sky turns golden and the sea feels infinite.
Island Life Beyond the Blue
Life at Nova is about so much more than time on the waves. Join the island community at Holhuashi on Fridays and explore the rich cultural traditions of the Maldives. Taste your way through Soul Kitchen’s bright, all-day flavours or enjoy a flame-grilled feast under the stars at Flames. When the night calls for fun, Wink is the place to raise a glass and dance with new friends. And when it is time to slow things down, nothing feels better than retreating to your Water Villa or Beach Villa after a long day of connecting with the blue.
The Soul of Island Living
At Nova, every splash, every sunset, and every shared smile turns into a memory you will carry home. Whether on the water, under the sea, or simply living island life your way, this is where good soul days are made.
