How to Plan a Week in the Maldives
Planning a week-long holiday in the Maldives? At Nova Maldives, we’re all about creating soulful experiences designed for real connection and countless ways to spark joy. Here’s how to plan the perfect week and make the most of your stay with us.
Day 1: Arrival and Acclimation
After landing at Velana International Airport, take a scenic seaplane ride to Nova. Check into your chic water villa or beach villa and let the adventure begin. Spend your first day getting to know our laidback island—stroll along the pristine beach, dip your toes in the turquoise lagoon, and enjoy a welcome cocktail as you soak in the inspiring surroundings.
Day 2: Explore the Underwater World
Start your morning with a hearty breakfast at Soul Kitchen, then gear up for an underwater adventure. South Ari Atoll is home to some of the most incredible marine life in the Maldives, including graceful whale sharks that are regularly sighted throughout the year. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, our Aquaholics dive centre has everything you need for an unforgettable underwater exploration.
Day 3: Relax and Rejuvenate
It’s time for some serious relaxation. Head to Eskape Spa for a soothing massage or a holistic treatment tailored to your needs. Spend the afternoon lounging by the pool, enjoying the serene views, and perhaps indulging in a refreshing cocktail from our poolside bar Solis.
Day 4: Embrace the Local Culture
Immerse yourself in Maldivian culture with a visit to a nearby local island. Experience the warm hospitality, learn about traditional crafts, and sample local delicacies. Back at Nova, join our weekly Holhuashi event featuring live traditional music, dance, and storytelling. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the heart and soul of the Maldives.
Day 5: Adventure Awaits
Spend your day kayaking, paddleboarding, or windsurfing in the lagoon. For a thrill, try parasailing and take in the breathtaking views from above. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, embark on a dolphin-watching cruise and witness these playful creatures in their natural habitat. End the day with a beach BBQ, enjoying delicious grilled fare with your toes in the sand.
Day 6: Private Island Picnic
Spend the day on a secluded sandbank, surrounded by endless blue horizons. Enjoy a gourmet picnic prepared by our chefs, swim in the clear waters, and simply revel in the peace and beauty of your private paradise.
Day 7: Farewell and Reflection
Your final day is all about soaking in the last moments of paradise. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, take a final dip in the ocean, or simply relax on your deck with a good book and a glass of finest bubbles in your hand. As you prepare to leave, know that Nova has become a part of your soul’s story, leaving you with memories to treasure forever.
