Why is the Maldives Becoming the Ultimate Friendmoon Destination?
Who says the Maldives should only be saved for a honeymoon? Pack your favourite people, swap the group chat for actual island time, and make those plans you have been talking about finally happen.
Slow and memorable days at Nova Maldives are also made for sharing. Our home in South Ari Atoll gives friends space to reconnect, explore the ocean, and enjoy the simple pleasure of having nowhere else to be.
What Exactly Is a Friendmoon?
Think of a friendmoon as a meaningful escape with your closest people. It could be to celebrate a birthday, mark a big life moment, or simply a chance for everyone to get away together. In the Maldives, that means leaving everyday routines for barefoot mornings and plenty of time in the same place, without trying to coordinate everyone through a screen.
Villas for Group Getaways
Sharing a holiday does not mean spending every moment together. Nova’s inter-connected villas make it easy for friends to stay close while still having their own space, while the Two Bedroom Beach Residence with Pool gives your crew plenty of room to settle in together. Start the morning over coffee, wander down to the beach when the mood takes you, then regroup by the pool for another good soul moment.
Make the Ocean Your Meeting Place
South Ari Atoll gives adventurous groups plenty of reasons to head into the blue, including the chance to encounter whale sharks all year round. Snorkel together around Nova’s house reef or head out with our Aquaholics team to discover the marine life beyond our island. Spotting a whale shark together is the kind of good soul moment your group chat will be talking about long after you are home.
Turn Dinner Into the Evening Plan
Start with global flavours and ocean views at Soul Kitchen, come together over grilled seafood and meats at Flames, or take a seat over the lagoon at Mizu for teppanyaki prepared right in front of you. With the Indian Ocean around you and your favourite people at the table, dinner becomes less about keeping to a schedule and more about sharing another good soul moment.
Leave Space for Doing Absolutely Nothing
Slow things down with a holistic ritual at Eskape Spa, claim a shady spot beneath the palms or drift in the lagoon with nowhere else to be. At Nova, doing less can be part of the plan, giving you and your favourite people time to talk, switch off and simply enjoy a good soul day together.
Bring Your Favourite People to Your Soul Place
Celebrate a milestone, head out on an ocean adventure or leave the day completely open. However you spend it, the point is having time to reconnect, without the usual schedules getting in the way.
