Have you ever wondered why the waters surrounding the Maldives shimmer in an enchanting spectrum of blues? At Nova Maldives, nestled in the heart of the South Ari Atoll, we invite you to immerse yourself in these mesmerising hues and discover the secrets of our laidback island’s vibrant aquatic canvas.

The Science Behind the Blue

At Nova, our guests often marvel at the extraordinary clarity and colour of the ocean. This brilliance is due to the Maldives’ unique underwater topography and the purity of its waters. The white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, rich in dissolved minerals, act as a mirror, reflecting the sky’s azure tones. Additionally, the abundant coral reefs, thriving just beneath the surface, play a pivotal role in scattering sunlight, enhancing the water’s vivid blue appearance.

From Sky to Sea

The experience at Nova transcends just observing the water’s colour. Here, you can indulge in a spectrum of blue, from the gentle turquoise of the shallows to the deep cerulean of the open sea. Our guests often find themselves lost in contemplation, watching the shifting shades as the sun makes its journey across the sky, painting the ocean in a dynamic, ever-changing palette.
