Tuesday, November 19, 2024 Located in the South Ari Atoll of the Maldives, the boutique resort Nova is proving to be a standout destination, despite its relatively recent opening just over a year ago. Formerly known as Vakarufalhi, the property has undergone an extensive refurbishment to offer a modern, all-inclusive community concept, designed to elevate the luxury travel experience. Nova is situated on a small, picturesque island, which, even by Maldivian standards, is compact.

The entire island can be explored on foot in under 10 minutes, offering visitors an intimate connection with its environment. With pristine white sandy beaches, a palm-fringed coastline, and crystal-clear, aquamarine waters, Nova is the epitome of a tropical paradise. From the moment guests arrive via seaplane, the resort presents a traditional yet modern vibe.

The low-rise buildings are harmoniously integrated into their surroundings, and everything, from the reception to the dining areas, is located just steps away from the azure sea—some even over it, providing a unique and serene atmosphere. A Relaxed, All-Inclusive Experience The allure of Nova lies not just in its beauty, but in its easy-going approach to luxury. Guests are encouraged to embrace a carefree and laid-back experience.

The moment they walk across the powdery sand to the open-to-the-elements reception, it’s clear that the resort’s design and culture are about making guests feel at home. Some visitors even choose to remain bare.
