Festive Season at Royal Island, Maldives
Where the season glows in Baa Atoll
Island celebrations for couples and families with seaside galas, countdown parties and children’s activities
Where the Season Glows
Christmas, New Year and Orthodox Christmas at Royal Island
Celebrate the festive season at Royal Island in the Maldives with island traditions, lantern-lit evenings, and music by the shore. Christmas opens with candlelit seaside dining and mellow live sets, then easy days of gingerbread making, palm-leaf weaving, and tree planting. Families find playful energy in treasure hunts and pool parties, while couples slip into spa rituals, wine tastings at sunset, or a quiet toast on the beach. As night falls, boduberu drums, DJ nights, and white-theme parties bring everyone together beneath the stars, with menus that highlight seafood and Maldivian flavours.
When the year turns, the shoreline becomes the stage for a starlit countdown, followed by brunches, craft sessions, and cultural showcases. The season flows into Orthodox Christmas, an intimate oceanfront gathering with soulful music and buffets. Between festivities, explore reefs on snorkels and return to beachside cocktails or cinema under the palms. Royal Island’s festive programme pairs Maldivian hospitality with family-friendly fun and corners for two, making every day feel bright and unmistakably Maldives.
