Festive Celebrations in the Maldives
This festive season, Nova Maldives becomes a little brighter with every arrival, every smile and every barefoot step on the sand. Here, festive celebrations feel soulful and easy, with time to reconnect, laugh a little louder and breathe a little deeper. From slow mornings by the water to sparkling evenings under island skies, every day unfolds at your own pace. Most of all, it is a time to gather with the people who mean the most and create memories that feel as warm as the Maldivian sun.
As the season unfolds, Nova invites you to discover your own way of celebrating. Stay close to your soul place, connect with the Nova community and savour soulful feasts that bring everyone to the table. This is where festive celebrations turn into good soul days that you will carry with you long after you leave the island.
Festive Stays & Soulful Spaces
Festive stays at Nova are all about feeling at home on the island from the moment you step into your villa. Choose a Beach Villa or Sunset Beach Villa if you like to stay close to the shore, with soft sand just outside and plenty of space to unwind between celebrations. For friends or families, the Interconnected Beach Villas and Two Bedroom Beach Residence with Private Pool keep everyone together while still giving each person their own space to relax. If waking up to the lagoon feels more like you, the Water Villa, Water Villa with Jacuzzi and Water Villa with Private Pool bring you right above the blue, creating a calm, soulful base for slow mornings and starlit festive nights.

Where Culture Meets Celebration
At Nova, the festive season is where culture and celebration come together in the most natural way. Evenings at the Holhuashi invite you to sit beneath the banyan tree, share stories and feel like part of the Nova family. The rhythm of Boduberu, local crafts and simple island rituals give each gathering a warm Maldivian heartbeat. Christmas brings tree lighting, island-style carols and a joyful visit from Santa on the beach, filling the island with smiles and gentle festive cheer. As the year closes, gala dinners, live performances and fireworks over the Indian Ocean create a New Year’s Eve filled with light, connection and easy island energy.

Festive Flavours & Soulful Feasts
Festive dining at Nova brings everyone together around shared tables, with every meal feeling relaxed, generous and full of flavour. At Soul Kitchen and Solis, you can savour long, easy meals with ocean views, while Flames brings the glow of the grill to balmy island evenings. Mizu adds a different kind of magic with Ocean Umami dinners and fresh creations that showcase the best of the sea. On special nights, the Maldivian Fisherman’s Feast under the stars turns dinner into a celebration of local flavours, stories and connection. From crafted cocktails at Wink to shared plates passed between friends, every bite and sip during the festive season feels made for togetherness.
