With the bloom of spring ushering in a season of transformation and fresh beginnings, we are excited to spotlight some of our thoughtfully crafted mindful offerings at Nova Maldives, a wellness and wildlife-centric resort dedicated to promoting holistic wellness through unforgettable experiences.
Here’s a glimpse into the enriching experiences the resort offers, catering to the diverse needs of our guests seeking wellness, relaxation, and a renewed sense of balance:
Sunset Yoga Classes: Takes place on the beach, and offered as a community group class, these beginner-friendly yoga classes are arranged weekly and open for guests’ participation. Designed to help participants feel recentered and find their inner balance, they focus on gentle stretches, mindful breathing, and other bodily movements
Healthy Indulgences: Hoping to inspire healthy eating that does not come at the expense of flavour, the resort regularly curates delightful health-conscious drinks for guests. Earlier this year, the resort’s team unveiled a series of mocktails that travellers can try making from home in celebration of Veganuary and Dry January, including the tropical Solis Sunset Cooler and refreshing Cucumber Basil Fizz with recipes available here. Mizu, Nova’s Teppanyaki restaurant has also introduced an innovative seaweed-themed menu in the past to raise awareness on this mineral and vitamin-rich ingredient, which can be incorporated into desserts and main dishes creatively.
Wellness Diving Offering: Newly introduced this spring, this special diving package is curated for couples as well as friends interested in discovering wider benefits of diving as a form of underwater meditation, which can help develop an awareness of breath control and mindfulness, that enhances mental health. This programme combines workshops led by the resort’s PADI-certified dive center, and complementary activities like buoyancy practices and underwater yoga to help attendees achieve a deeper sense of relaxation.
Full Recuperation at EsKape Spa: Nova’s in-house spa offers an array of treatments and massages to help promote detoxification and rejuvenation, ranging from widely-popular Balinese massage and aromatherapy, to warm stone massage to soothe aching muscles and tensions, as well as unique rituals that harness the benefits of the nourishing coconut fruit. Each treatment room is thoughtfully designed with glass viewing panels, to allow guests to enjoy mesmerising marine views while receiving expert care from skilled therapists, thoughtfully incorporating marine life into part of the wellness journey.
Thematic Retreats: Collaborating with wellness practitioners from around the world, Nova runs unique thematic retreats multiple times a year to offer tailored and more comprehensive wellness itineraries, focusing on a variety of wellness practices, including holistic wellness, Ayurveda, qigong, reiki, sound bath, acupuncture and more. Stay tuned for the latest announcements on new retreats scheduled for this year that will be available to book in the months to come.
