At Vakkaru Maldives, celebrate the holidays among snow-white shores and myriad colours of brilliant blue. This year, the world is your oyster as the timeless refuge prepares to transport you "Around The World" on a thrilling voyage.

The tour spans Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and wherever else, allowing you to reunite with family and rejoice with them. Share memorable events, such as festive drinks and exquisite food, maritime excursions, and the dazzling New Year's Eve countdown.

From personalised meals, wine tours, and private dinners to children's talent performances, sports competitions, and bespoke wellness programmes, this island paradise provides something for all ages to get into the holiday mood.

In addition to the Lobster & Champagne Dinner, Marakkesh Night, Robatayaki Dinner, and South African and Australian wine tastings, the restaurant hosts a variety of unique gastronomic events. New Year's wellness resolution-makers may sign up for daily yoga and meditation classes led by the resident yoga instructor. In addition, there are workshops on coconut oil, head and shoulder massages, and Dr. Kalani Perera's Secret of Healthy Living by Siddhalepa Ayurveda.

An exciting schedule of leisure activities, including instruction by Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis, reviving spa experiences, and relaxing yoga and meditation classes, will complement your joyous vacation. Beyond our resort's white sand limits, Splash and our expert marine scientist will explore Baa Atoll's unique aquatic ecosystem.

In addition, stunning fire and light art exhibits, dancing troupes, live bands, and DJ performances make this year's finale an unforgettable celebration. Those interested in making health-related commitments for the new year may schedule a consultation with Domingos Folgado, a Portuguese wellness practitioner, therapist, acupuncture specialist, and certified personal trainer. This would be the third time that Folgado has visited our timeless refuge to inspire visitors to alter their lifestyles and enhance their overall health.

Young islanders have not been neglected. Activities for them include the Young Ambassador of the Ocean workshop - a customised curriculum for children and adolescents devised by our most recent visiting expert, Oliver Steeds, that instils a love for the ocean and coral reef, as well as a desire to conserve it. Kids Tennis Clinic by Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis, chocolate mixology, Little Masterchef, Santa Parade, Movies Under the stars, and Beach Olympics are among the many entertaining activities available. In addition, older children and their families may participate in football matches, padel tennis games, a beach obstacle course race, and a tennis competition, among other activities.

The celebrations begin on December 24 with drinks in the evening, followed by a lavish dinner.

A Christmas Eve gala buffet meal with live culinary stations including international specialties, a live band, DJ, and performers. On Christmas Day, see Santa Claus and enjoy a variety of family-friendly activities with prizes and freebies to add to the holiday spirit.
