Hello everyone! We’ve just finished five wonderful days at Nova Maldives. It was our first time visiting the Maldives, and I must say — compared to other countries we’ve been to, the Maldives are truly exceptional. A stunning destination that everyone should experience. It’s a completely different kind of holiday.

Now to the point — Nova Maldives. We flew in from Malaysia to Malé, and then took a seaplane to the resort. The flight took just 20 minutes.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the Nova Maldives team — a big thank you to them for such a kind and friendly reception. We were offered cool towels, which were a lovely touch after the flight. We arrived around midday, and our room was ready straight away.

As for the room itself — it was excellent. Everything needed for a relaxing stay was there. Spacious, clean and cosy. The bathroom featured both a tropical rain shower and a classic one. We were very happy with the room — it was simply perfect.

Now, about the food. The resort offers full board — breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also an all-inclusive option for those who want alcoholic drinks, but we went with the standard full board package, which included non-alcoholic beverages like fresh juices, cola, Sprite and so on. That was more than enough for us, as we don’t drink alcohol. Those who do can either pay separately or opt for the all-inclusive package.

Now to the most important part — the ocean. The Maldives are simply stunning. Crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sand. We walked barefoot everywhere — around the island, to breakfast, lunch, dinner — never once wore shoes. That alone says a lot about the experience.

The food was excellent — varied and delicious. The menu changed daily, so it never got boring. There was always something for every taste. It was a truly relaxing, luxurious and enjoyable stay.

As for the guests, most were Europeans — Swiss, Germans, Italians. There were also some visitors from East Asia — Chinese, Japanese, Koreans. Everyone was very calm and respectful. The Maldives are perfect for those seeking a peaceful, quiet holiday with no stress or fuss.

In terms of activities, the resort offers fishing, snorkelling and various other water sports — there’s something for everyone. Naturally, these are available at an extra cost. The resort also has a football pitch, a volleyball court and a gym. Whether you’re looking for something active or something relaxing, you’ll find exactly what suits you here.

And now, the most important part — the staff. First and foremost, we’d like to thank our personal host, Marzhan. She was available 24/7, always responsive, helpful and supportive throughout our stay. We truly felt cared for and looked after every step of the way.

We’d also like to mention Anar at reception — always ready to assist, very welcoming. In fact, the entire front desk team was kind and attentive. Overall, the whole staff at the resort was incredibly friendly and warm. It created a special atmosphere that made our stay truly unforgettable.

We would also like to mention our housekeeper, Amin. He always kept our room spotless — everything was perfectly clean and tidy. He clearly knows what he’s doing, and we’re very grateful for his work.

Special thanks to Dmitry and Jerry, who accompanied us on our snorkelling trip. Even though there were quite a few guests, they were constantly attentive, checking on everyone and ensuring we all felt safe and comfortable in the water. They never took their eyes off us — that’s real professionalism, and it made the whole experience even better.

To sum it all up — our family gives Nova Maldives a solid 10 out of 10. We truly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a genuine, unforgettable holiday. You definitely won’t regret it.

P.S. A special mention goes to Banu, the instructor who led my wife’s stretching and yoga sessions. My wife has been practising both for years and was impressed by Banu’s professionalism and skill. She’s clearly an expert in her field — just like the rest of the team at Nova Maldives.

All in all, Nova Maldives is a place that truly stays with you.
