Nový Život (Hungarian: Illésháza, pronounced [ˈilleːʃhaːzɒ]) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia.

Outer rural areas preserve the names of erstwhile villages which disappeared over the centuries.

Szerhásháza, mentioned in 1464 as Esterháza was the age-old estate of the Esterházy, while Salamon was that of the Illésházy Hungarian noble families.

Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Somorja district of Pozsony County.

After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
