Mindful Maldives Vacations

Barefoot on warm white sands, salty breeze in your hair, waves gently syncing with your breath, and every moment inviting you to pause, breathe, and just be. Nestled in the heart of South Ari Atoll, Nova Maldives is your sanctuary of mindful living.

Here, time stretches out in the best possible way. You’re not rushing from one thing to the next—you’re waking up slowly, moving with intention, choosing joy over obligation. At Nova, you don’t have to do anything to have a meaningful experience. Just arrive as you are. Let the island do the rest. And if you’re not sure where to start, allow us to guide you.

A New Kind of Mindful

Mindfulness isn’t about sitting cross-legged on a yoga mat all day (although we love that too). At Nova, it’s about immersing yourself in meaningful moments—slow sips of coconut water by Solis Pool, laughter around a communal table at Soul Kitchen, conversations that matter, and real connections. Here, mindfulness means tuning into yourself and your surroundings. It’s about living in the now with your whole heart.

Wake Up to Wellness

Your mindful journey begins with how you start your day. Think sunrise yoga on a wooden deck overlooking the endless ocean, where your only to-do is to feel good. Or a solo swim in our turquoise lagoon before breakfast. Every space at Nova, from our airy villas to our calming spa, is designed to let you unwind naturally and feel restored. No stress, no pressure. Just you being your best self.

Breathe, Dive, Reconnect.

Step into three days of soul-deep serenity with Nova Maldives’ Wellness Diving Retreat for two. Designed to restore your rhythm, this mindful journey blends underwater yoga, floating meditation, and guided scuba dives through the vibrant South Ari Marine Park. Fuelled by detox juices, nourishing meals, and a rejuvenating spa massage, it’s the perfect harmony of inner peace and oceanic wonder.

Eat with Intention, Savour with Joy

Nova’s all-inclusive approach means food freedom. And by freedom, we mean flavour-packed, heart-warming meals whenever your soul desires. From freshly grilled seafood to plant-based goodness, our menus are curated with love and local ingredients. Whether you’re sipping on a mocktail at Wink or sharing plates with newfound friends, every bite becomes a moment of mindful indulgence.

Explore Lightly, Live Fully

Mindful doesn’t mean missing out. It means choosing experiences that matter. Kayak at your own rhythm, snorkel with curious sea turtles, or join a sunset cruise where silence says more than words ever could. 

And on Fridays, something truly special happens. You’re invited to Holhuashi—Nova’s weekly gathering inspired by a cherished Maldivian tradition. Just like islanders once did after a day’s work, we come together under the banyan tree to share stories, laughter, and local flavours. You’ll hear ancient tales passed down through generations, taste traditional Maldivian dishes, and even pick up a few words of Dhivehi.

Come Alone, Leave Connected

Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with your tribe, Nova is a place where everyone’s welcome—and everyone belongs. Here, mindfulness also means community. We believe in soulful gatherings, spontaneous laughter, and the kind of kindness that stays with you long after the tan fades.
