On Christmas Eve, celebrations will continue with sunset drinks and a special dinner starring festive dishes from around the world at The Market. Christmas Day starts with a leisurely Champagne Breakfast and a visit from Santa on the beach.
The energy stays high throughout the season with White Parties at Sand Bar and a family-friendly celebration at the Maldives’ biggest infinity pool.
Gourmands will enjoy a selection of special dinners including a lobster barbecue served by the sea on 21 December, and a Wine & Dine menu of delectable dishes paired with wines from around the world, served on Christmas Day and 2 January.
The popular Thai Street Food Festival returns to the award-winning Benjarong restaurant with authentic Siamese flavours at live cooking stations, and Amazonian Night promises jungle-themed banqueting in a canopy-covered South American wonderland.
