Long Stay at NOVA
Take more time for the sea, diving and a slower pace of life. Our 10-, 15- and 30-day long-stay plans bring accommodation, meals and diving together, with flexible extensions tailored to your plans.
Why Stay Longer?
Settle into your room, enjoy meals at the resort and balance days in the water with time to rest. Choose a Twin Room Garden View (SD) or Superior Twin Garden View (DX) room and let us know how you would like to spend your stay.

The Long Stay package is based on two boat dives per day.
A third dive may be available at no additional charge when joining other guests, depending on the diving schedule and boat operations.
Availability and any applicable charges will be confirmed according to the day’s arrangements.
When Long Stay guests join other guests on a Balicasag or Pamilacan excursion, the excursion supplement may be waived, depending on joining arrangements and boat operations. This is not an unconditional offer of free participation.
The number of dives is not guaranteed.
If you arrive early in the morning, package diving may be possible on your arrival day at no additional charge, depending on operations and other conditions. No diving is scheduled on your departure day, to allow for safety before flying.
Appropriate rest days will be scheduled to avoid prolonged periods of consecutive diving.
Flexible Extensions
The 10-, 15- and 30-day plans are starting points. You may extend your stay beyond the basic plan. Stays longer than 30 days can be arranged individually, provided you hold appropriate permission to stay in the Philippines.
There is no fixed extension package rate. We prepare an individual quotation by combining the services you request:
- Accommodation: standard room rates on our Accommodation page, charged per room, per night.
- Meals: Guest Information meal rates, shown on our Dining page.
- Diving: Diving Only Rates.
- Sightseeing and other options: rates on our Optional Services page.
Booking & Payment Information
Stays of 10 days or more are eligible for Long Stay arrangements. The prices above are basic plan prices. NOVA will review your stay dates, length of stay, number of guests, room type and requested services, including any extensions, diving and options. We will calculate the applicable plan and charges and provide a quotation in Philippine pesos before you book the accommodation through Booking.com.
Please review our Payment & Cancellation Policy for accommodation booking through Booking.com, payment and booking-confirmation procedures. The Booking.com accommodation amount counts toward the total quotation; the remaining balance for diving and other services is settled at the resort. NOVA checks the Booking.com notification against your accommodation and diving arrangements before sending a booking confirmation.
The current Payment & Cancellation Policy explains that accommodation booked through Booking.com is subject to the rate plan selected when booking, including for Long Stay arrangements. The accommodation cancellation charge does not include diving charges scheduled for settlement at the resort. Please review the policy before submitting your request.

Submitting a request does not confirm your booking.
