Family hotels and homes in Dhangethi

We wholeheartedly recommend Nova Maldives without reservation! We spent 10 days there in May 2023. What sets this island apart? While all resorts in the Maldives have the beautiful ocean, house reefs, beaches, palm trees and similar leisure activities, Nova goes the extra mile with its exceptional service and hospitality. The staff members aren't merely friendly and polite; they genuinely engage with guests in an honest, authentic and caring manner. Whenever we had a small request or concern, they promptly addressed it to our complete satisfaction. For instance, when we realized we didn't have an underwater housing for our GoPro, the dive center graciously allowed us to borrow one at no charge. If a cocktail at the bar didn't meet our expectations, the bartender himself came to offer a suitable replacement. Following a total renovation, the rooms and facilities are in perfect condition, as the resort reopened in September 2022. Upon arrival, new guests receive a traditional Maldivian welcome from the manager, providing insights into the local culture and customs. Nova takes care to minimize the use of single-use plastics on the island, demonstrating their commitment to protecting the environment. The spa offers outstanding massages and there is a wide range of activities to enjoy, including beachside movie nights, live band performances and daily sports, yoga and creative sessions. The dining experience is exceptional, with a great buffet offering a vast selection at every meal. Additionally, they prepare personalized dishes, such as made-to-order sandwiches for lunch, waffles for breakfast or teppanyaki and wok dishes for dinner. We highly recommend trying the sushi lunch and teppanyaki evening at the Wink Restaurant. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to chef James, chef Rey, Fitri and all the other staff members at Nova (there are too many names to mention them all) who made our vacation incredibly enjoyable and unforgettable!

Good facility, always clean room, good breakfast, free snorkeling masks and so on.. Very nice hotel and people, thank you!☺️

staff are great, good is great, 30 second step from your beach villa past your private sun loungers on the beach and straight into the sea to snorkel the house reef and dropoff is great, sunset bar and pool are great

Had an amazaing stay at Lilys. The island’s house reef is amazing! We snorkeled with colorful fishes and reef sharks. The island itself is lush and feels like a tropical paradise. The buffet in the evening was great. The food was fantastic at Vibes and Aqua. All the staff they are amazing and will take care of you. As a cocktail lover, I was impressed—every drink was perfectly prepared!

The service was topnotch Spacious Villas with incredible views and access to crystal clear waters Decent snorkeling experience if you're willing to swim further out

People where very nice and always helpfull.

Nadheem & Ellen offer a "home away from home" experience and it really feels like that. I have rarely been on a holiday where I felt as relaxed as here. Great accommodation and absolutely wonderful hosts. Great area and amazing excursions. The whole island and all the locals give off a vibe that you can't explain if you haven't been here. We will definitely come back.

The yard is beautiful, with lots of green plants and a beautiful big parrot. The room is comfortable, too. We also used their kitchen, which was very convenient. The landlord and his father are very warm and kind. Living here is like living at home. We get along very well. There are also many sea play projects, because the homeowner Shaameen has direct motorboats and speedboats, it is very convenient to go to sea to play. The bikini beach next to it is very beautiful and fun. We go swimming and snorkeling every day, which is very convenient.

Staff super friendly and helpful!

The staff was really really good, helpful, toughfull with me and my wife. We were feeling at home, the room was every day cleaned up, the food was top ! Our host ODEY was very cool, kind and available for every informations and was always helpful. The locals on the island were also very kind, always with the smile on their face. Thank you to all of the staff there, Odey, Zahou, Ali, mohamed and the cooker (i forgot his name)
