Nova x PADI Collaboration 2025

Nova Maldives, the soulful island resort nestled in the South Ari Atoll, believes in a greater calling than simply a lifestyle holiday destination. A modern All-Inclusive Community Concept, this laidback, all-natural island offers countless ways to spark joy. Smart, playful, rooted and responsible, Nova embodies the very essence of the Pulse Hotels & Resorts brand. Reached by a scenic seaplane flight, Nova features 76 land and overwater villas with private terraces and seemingly endless Indian Ocean views, all designed for real connection. Set within the South Ari Marine Protected Area, Nova enjoys one of the most remarkable locations in the Maldives, renowned for its year-round manta ray and whale shark sightings; one of the few places in the world where these gentle giants can be seen in their natural habitat. Nourish the soul with good food and great company in the vibrant dining outlets, pool and communal spaces. Explore breathtaking nearby scuba diving sites, join coral planting and reef regeneration experiences, play beach volleyball or immerse yourself in the local art and culture. At Nova, it’s all about taking the time to do what makes your soul happy.
