Families can look forward to separate activity calendars for children and teens, ensuring that every family member can make the most of their holiday in the Maldives.

Merry Christmas, Naturally

The introduction of Nature’s Mystique sets the stage for a magical holiday experience, starting with a delightful Christmas tree lighting ceremony and carol singing on December 21. Guests can immerse themselves in the festive spirit with a cocktail reception, marking the beginning of a season filled with joy and wonder.

On Christmas morning, the resort will welcome Santa Claus onto the island, where he will bring goodwill and joy by distributing gifts and presents to guests throughout the day. On New Year’s Eve, guests are invited to the resort’s New Year’s Eve gala dinner for a festive evening of food, live music and fireworks.

Fun for Young Guests

The spirit of Christmas is spread across the entire resort and guests can find all manner of festive activities to help get them in the holiday spirit.

For more adrenalised family time, guests should go out of their way to sign up for the guided  Snorkie Talkie tours led by the hotel’s marine biologist in residence. Or put their names down for the thrill of parasailing and Jet Ski trips to local sandbars. There are also night fishing trips, dolphin safaris and sunset cruises with Santa Claus himself.
