Nova Maldives

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 :)

Small but cozy and green Island, just 25 mins from Male by seaplane. Great wide lagoon, almost without rocks or corals. House reef is decent, with abundance of marine life. Room cleaned twice daily. Daikin ACs are quiet. The team is great, in particular everyone at the main Soul restaurant. We were cooked meals to our order even though they were not in the buffet. Our kids were presented with hand-made souvenirs personally made by the folks at the restaurant. Overall a very soulful vacation)

The best touristic experience of our life. The seaplane transfer was well organized, only 25 minutes to the island from MLE. We stayed 7 days in a beach villa, close to the peer. It was comfy, spacious and always very clean thanks to Esa from the maintenance compartment. The staff was very helpful, the kitchen was variable and really delicious. I have to say thanks to Ali and Sonjeet, they were extreme friendly and kind. Such as at the restaurant we had Heidi, Muneeb and Visham and the whole stuff; so wonderful people who are there for every moment to make our holiday even better then best! Nova is brand new, with an exceptional house reef and great sealife. Dive spots are really good, wreck dive can be done. Thanks to Tanya who was a great dive instructor for my AOWD course, and she was very patient and kind to my 8y old doughter at the boublemaker program. Do not miss the whaleshark watching! It was a breathtaking moment to see such a big fish so close to you. It was our 4th time in Maldives, but this experience is a different level then the others. Its really touched our soul! We (and chocolate the giraffe) gonna come back for sure! Thanks Nova!
