Nova Maldives

We had the most incredible stay at Nova Maldives! The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are beyond friendly – everyone made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We stayed in a Water Villa with a pool, and it was absolute heaven – waking up to those ocean views was pure bliss. The food was consistently amazing, with great variety and quality across all meals. Honestly, 5 days just wasn’t enough – we could have easily stayed longer. Special shoutout to Kevin – he’s such a gem! Super friendly, full of positive vibes, and really made our stay extra memorable. The Supremacy Band were another highlight – they brought amazing energy to the evenings and were so fun to jam with. Absolute stars! The team really took care of us from beginning to end – even making sure our departure went smoothly and that we didn’t miss our flight. Truly above and beyond. Nova is a slice of paradise – we’re already dreaming about our return!

Overall, Nova is a wonderful place. On arrival our room was upgraded to one with jacuzzi, what was super surprise. Villa on water was spacious and modern, super clean with wonderful ocean view. Lots of colorful fishes, sharks just outside. Nice reef around. Good variety of food. In all in package quite good variety of drinks. Beautifull clean beach, a lot of space for everyone. And last but not least, fantastic service - people are a great advantage of this place.

We have been to 3 resorts in total and this was definitely the best. All worked super smoothly, from being picked up at the airport, to transferring to the seaplane terminal, to a comfortable Manta Air seaplane ride without any waiting time. The island is small and intimate, easily walkable with a beautiful beach and house reef for snorkelling, where we saw several black tip reef sharks, soooo many fish, an egale ray etc. The overwater villa was extremely spacious and so comfortable, with direct access to the water. The food was delicious (we booked full-board which was more than enough for us) and staff was extremely friendly. We also used the gym, which is nicely located with a full glass front in the middle of the island. In hindsight, we would only stay in Nova :)

Excellent service and very polite and friendly staff, who really worry about their gusts experience. Food and drinks are awesome. There was always a variety of seafood, meat, pasta, sides, desserts and fruits. The atmosphere of the hotel is super chill, however there are a lot of things to do such as snorkeling, fishing, whale sharks and mantas snorkeling. No crowds, loud music etc. Home reef is incredible!

A very unique experience to say the least - first the organising of the Seaplanes was amazing and well co-ordinated Expensive but most certainly worth the money. Greetings from the staff and explanation from the staff was informative and concise. Activities on the island were super easy to book and use (things such as; snorkelling gear, dolphin trips, kayaking, spas/massages, along with lunch or dinner at any of the restaurants) There were 2 very local souvenir shops. The complimentary photoshoot was also a very memorable experience. There is a pool on one side of the island and it is awesome to have (just because sometimes you don't want to jump into seawater) Nothing about the room itself, but the fact this is an island means it has many fishes swimming around - we were ecstatic to see a coral reef shark and to be able to swim near so many different types of colourful and beautiful fishes, honestly an unforgettable experience Our room cleaning was looked after by Easa - a very polite man and thorough with his cleaning. The room was cleaned twice a day and there were a couple times when my wife and I was in the room and he asked us if it was okay to clean now or come back later. No shortcuts, bed was made, floor was swept, towels and other amenities replenished. A+ service!
