Soulmate Serenity in the South Ari Atoll this Valentine’s Day

London, UK, 11 December 2024: Couples are invited to embrace a unique underwater romance with extraordinary ocean adventures in the heart of the South Ari Atoll this Valentine’s Day. An intimate, adult-centric sanctuary for treasuring connections and sharing unforgettable moments with loved ones, Nova Maldives’ all-natural island is surrounded by crystalline lagoons, teeming with marine life. Its beach and overwater villas offer a retreat for unwinding, reconnecting and experiencing pure paradise together, while serene surroundings and matchless marine life create the perfect backdrop for reconnection with self, nature and loved ones. Dive alongside whale sharks, encounter manta rays, and explore vibrant coral reefs within the Atoll. This year, Nova’s Valentine’s Day itinerary has been thoughtfully curated for couples, offering a once-in-a-lifetime getaway and unique shared experiences.

Shared Experiences Beneath the Waves

For marine enthusiasts, Nova offers intimate opportunities to explore the ocean’s wonders together. Capture timeless experiences with a personalised underwater GoPro photoshoot, where you can dive hand in hand and leave with keepsakes to cherish. As evening falls, take the plunge on a private night dive, experiencing the house reef’s nocturnal wonders under the moonlight.

For a truly connecting experience, Nova’s "His & Hers" diving lessons allow couples to build skills and share the joy of discovery side-by-side. Nova’s prime location within the South Ari Marine Park (SAMPa), the Maldives' largest protected area spanning 42 km² of coral reef habitat, offers a truly unique opportunity to observe whale sharks and manta rays year-round, making it one of the world's most exceptional sites for marine biodiversity. Couples can explore the Atoll’s underwater wonders together with a snorkelling excursion alongside the ocean’s gentle giants, while creating a special bond not only with these majestic creatures, but also with each other.

Celebrate Love with a Purpose

Eco-conscious couples can dive into a Valentine’s Day filled with purpose and beauty at Nova. Begin with a guided Marine Biodiversity Tour, led by Nova's Aquaholics Soulmates, where snorkellers and divers alike will uncover the diverse marine life, building a deeper connection to the Maldives' unique ecosystem. For a truly meaningful experience, take part in a couples’ coral planting session, a hands-on conservation activity that allows couples to help restore Nova’s reefs, creating a lasting impact to protect this extraordinary ecosystem for future generations. Guests can adopt their coral, receiving bi-annual updates on its progress for years to come.

Indulge in Ultimate Serenity

Couples can prepare for ocean adventures or simply take some time to unwind together with a rejuvenating couple’s treatment at Eskape Spa. Designed to relax body and mind, this massage is designed for divine revitalisation and relaxation. For the ultimate shared overwater experience, Nova’s tranquil sunset cruise takes off during golden hour, while a dolphin cruise allows couples to witness playful pods in their natural habitat.
