In het besef van de groei van langzame en ervaringsgerichte reistrends in de GCC, zal dit Eid Al-Adha, van 16 tot en met 19 juni, Nova Malediven extends an invitation to join a journey that integrates traditional and modern aspects of Maldivian culture. Set against the backdrop of the island’s serene beauty, Nova is preparing an extensive cultural event that allows guests to delve into the heritage and customs of the Maldives.
Central to the festivities is the Holhuashi event, redefining traditional storytelling on Wink Beach. The term “Holhuashi,” meaning “public meeting space,” has been adapted here to create a dynamic space for cultural exchange. During the event, master storytellers will share traditional Maldivian stories, aiming to connect guests with the historical roots of the Maldives.

Abdulla Aboobakuru, General Manager of Nova Maldives, commented on the relevance of this year’s event, saying, “One of the notable GCC travel trends to Maldives this year is slow and experiential travel, which emphasises longer duration stays and a deep immersion into the local culture. The Maldivian Eid celebration at Nova is the perfect opportunity for GCC travellers to engage deeply with the unique cultural aspects of the Maldives.”
Daarnaast zullen op het evenement gerenommeerde Maldivische kunstenaars en ambachtslieden hun vaardigheden in traditionele ambachten demonstreren. Deze presentatie is niet alleen bedoeld om te bekijken, maar ook om de gasten te laten ervaren, aangezien elk stuk een mix van erfgoed en innovatie laat zien.
Gedurende de Eid Al-Adha-periode krijgen gasten de gelegenheid om dieper in te gaan op de Maldivische cultuur. Tot de activiteiten behoren taallessen, culinaire ervaringen met de lokale keuken en kennismaking met Maldivische rituelen en overtuigingen. Deze elementen zijn gezamenlijk bedoeld om een alomvattend inzicht te geven in de Maldivische manier van leven.

Guests can now book their stay at 45% off for stays up to September 2024. Rates for the Beach Villa start from AED 2711 for 2 guests on an all-inclusive basis, inclusive of all taxes and green tax. The offer includes complimentary use of snorkelling fins and masks during the stay, daily complimentary group Sunrise Yoga, a 30-minute photo session, complimentary rental of standard kayaks and paddleboards (non-guided) once per stay, and discounts on water sports, spa treatments, and à la carte restaurants.
Guests staying 6 nights or more will enjoy a complimentary 3-course dinner at Nova’s speciality restaurants, Mizu and Flames.
