Holhuashi

Discover the richness of Maldivian culture at Nova’s weekly Holhuashi event, where storytelling will captivate your spirit as you learn about the local traditions and lifestyle.

‘Holhuashi’ refers to a communal place to rest. As evening falls after a long day of work, Maldivians would make their way to the holhuashi to relax and have a chat while enjoying the cool ocean breeze.

Gathered together under the shade of the banyan tree, join us as we reveal ancient tales of wonder and mystique. Explore the bits and pieces of the local language Dhivehi, dive into the flavours of authentic Maldivian cuisine, and unlock the secrets, rituals and beliefs that have withstood the test of time.

Your soul awaits an unforgettable story.
