Best Islands to Visit in Maldives
The Maldives is full of breathtaking islands, but Nova Maldives is something truly special. Tucked away in the heart of the South Ari Atoll, it’s a place where life slows down, and every moment feels like a deep breath for your soul—a destination where the spirit of the Maldives comes alive. Whether you’re soaking up vibrant energy or finding quiet moments of reflection, Nova invites you to embrace the art of living in the moment. Here’s a glimpse of what awaits you:
Your Soul Place
A short seaplane journey transports you to Nova, an island where the simple beauty of the Maldives meets contemporary design. With 76 thoughtfully crafted beach and water villas, the island effortlessly combines comfort and style. From breezy beach retreats to overwater sanctuaries, every detail invites you to kick back, relax, and let the rhythm of island life guide you.
Whether you’re lounging by the lagoon, diving into a friendly game of volleyball, or savouring the ocean breeze, Nova feels like a place you’ve always belonged.
Maldivian Culture, All in One Place
Nova isn’t just a place to unwind—it’s where stories come to life. Our weekly Holhuashi gathering invites you to connect with the traditions and tales that have shaped the Maldivian way of life. Sit beneath the banyan tree as ancient stories unfold, or dive into the rich flavours of authentic local cuisine. Explore the Maldivian culture in a way that stirs your soul and leaves you with a deeper connection to this island paradise.
A Playground Beneath the Waves
Beyond the shores, another world awaits beneath the waves. The South Ari Atoll is a world of wonders, where whale sharks glide gracefully beneath the surface, and coral reefs burst with life. Nova places you in the heart of it all, with the Aquaholics team ready to guide you through every exhilarating underwater adventure. Whether it’s your first dive or your hundredth snorkel, there’s something awe-inspiring about sharing the ocean with creatures so majestic they feel otherworldly.
Begin Your Journey of Renewal
Amidst all the exploration, Nova makes time for rejuvenation. Perched over the lagoon, Eskape Spa is a sanctuary of serenity, offering holistic treatments that refresh yourbody and uplift your spirit. With yoga pavilions, organic therapies, and blissful views, Eskape Spa reminds you that sometimes the greatest adventures happen within.
Feed Your Soul
At Nova, dining isn’t just about food—it’s about connection. Gather with new friends or loved ones at communal spaces like Soul Kitchen, delight in the art of grilling at Flames, or indulge in Teppanyaki with endless ocean views at Mizu. Casual evenings at Wink or refreshing moments by the pool at Solis complete the island’s vibrant culinary offerings. Every meal is a celebration of taste, laughter, and togetherness.
