This September, Nova Maldives is set to redefine solo travel with its second annual Solo Traveller Month, offering an innovative wellness experience that promises personal transformation and community connection in the heart of the Maldives.
Responding to the growing trend of meaningful travel, the resort introduces a week-long Flow Retreat designed for individuals seeking deeper self-discovery and holistic wellness. With the Forbes Travel Trends Report indicating that 76% of Millennials and Gen Z are planning solo trips, Nova Maldives is perfectly positioned to meet this emerging traveler demographic.
The retreat, running from 15–21 September 2025, is led by renowned wellness facilitator Yasmina Cherquaoui, who will guide participants through an immersive journey of yoga, breathwork, meditation, and creative healing modalities. Unlike traditional solo travel experiences, this program emphasizes connection—offering a unique environment where individuals can explore personal growth while feeling supported by a like-minded community.
Daily activities are thoughtfully curated to provide a holistic wellness experience. Mornings begin with sunrise sessions featuring somatic movement and mindful practices, while evenings offer transformative experiences like cacao ceremonies, sound healing, and even a silent disco under the stars. The flexible program allows participants to engage as deeply or lightly as they prefer, ensuring a personalized journey of renewal.
For those seeking additional wellness experiences, Nova offers complementary add-ons that extend the retreat’s transformative potential. The Wellness Diving Offering provides meditative underwater experiences, while the EsKape Spa offers bespoke treatments inspired by Maldivian botanicals.
Beyond individual practices, the retreat integrates cultural immersion through guided nature walks, local music experiences, and communal dining at Soul Kitchen and Flames. This approach transforms solo travel from a solitary experience into a meaningful journey of personal and collective connection.
Nova Maldives has crafted an experience that goes beyond traditional wellness retreats—it’s an invitation to travel slowly, intentionally, and with purpose. By offering a supportive environment that celebrates individual exploration while fostering community, the Solo Traveller Month represents a new paradigm in mindful travel.
Whether you’re seeking emotional release, personal clarity, or simply a chance to reset and reconnect, this September’s Flow Retreat promises a transformative experience that extends far beyond a typical vacation. Solo travelers will discover that in this carefully curated space, they are never truly alone.
