Eid at Nova Maldives: Where Time Slows and Moments are Shared
This Eid, Nova Maldives invites guests to embrace the warmth and togetherness that define the Maldives, where families and communities across the islands come together in a season of shared joy, gratitude, and meaningful connection. After Ramadan, loved ones gather to pray, exchange heartfelt greetings, and enjoy generous meals, celebrating the spirit of togetherness. At Nova, these traditions unfold against a backdrop of turquoise waters and open skies, where time slows and moments are savoured.
The spirit of Eid can be felt in every corner of the island, from shared laughter over festive meals to participating in traditional prayers and exchanging warm greetings with family and friends. Leisurely walks along soft sandy beaches and quiet moments watching the sun dip below the horizon offer space for reflection and gratitude, while the gentle rhythm of island life encourages storytelling, connection, and the celebration of community. Each experience becomes a meaningful part of Eid, filled with warmth, shared joy, and lasting memories that linger long after the sun has set.
Evenings of Reflection
As the sun dips into the horizon, evenings at Nova come alive with a sense of calm and connection. Beach Iftars bring guests together on soft sands, where Maldivian short eats meet Arabic favourites, served with dates, watermelon juice, and aromatic tea in a relaxed, open-air setting.
For those seeking a quieter pace, the Nava Pavilion offers a serene space to break fast, with a curated spread of mezze, freshly baked bread, island classics, and comforting favourites. Every meal becomes more than nourishment, it is a shared moment of warmth, conversation, and togetherness.
Malaafaiy Keyn: A Celebration of Unity
At the heart of Maldivian tradition lies the Malaafaiy Keyn, a communal dining experience where food is shared from a large circular platter, symbolising generosity, connection, and celebration. Nova brings this tradition to life with a Malaafaiy Keyn dinner on the beach, where tables under the starry sky invite guests to connect.
Authentic curries, freshly grilled fish, aromatic Arabic tagines, kebabs, koftas, and decadent sweets come together, creating a joyful atmosphere where every bite honours the spirit of Eid.
The Sights, Sounds, and Flavours of Eid
Eid at Nova is not just a meal; it is a full celebration of Maldivian culture and hospitality. Traditional music, storytelling, and local crafts set the scene, as guests explore a curated tasting of Maldivian and Arabic favourites, falafel, lamb sambousek, baklava, and beloved island bites.
Sweet and savoury notes flow effortlessly, creating a festive tapestry of flavours that feels authentic, generous, and warmly shared.
