A Tropical Paradise
Fairmont Maldives sits within one of the largest resort lagoons in the Maldives, surrounded by a reef boasting kaleidoscope colours. The resort offers a range of accommodation options, including sunrise and sunset beach and overwater villas. Each villa features a private pool and direct access to the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean.
Notably, the resort boasts 4, 5, and 7-bedroom Deluxe Beach Villas, perfect for accommodating groups of up to 20 guests. For adventure enthusiasts, villas on the sunrise side of the island provide the best snorkelling opportunities, with access to over 250 species of ocean life and the chance to join the resident marine biologist in tracking local turtles. Eco-conscious travellers can partake in turning plastic waste into unique souvenirs and crafting special gifts for local children at the Sustainability Lab, aptly known as ‘Santa’s Lab’ during the festive season.
A Diverse Wonderland Programme
The Tropical Wonderland programme at Fairmont Maldives has been thoughtfully curated to cater to all guests, from tiny explorers to seasoned travellers. In addition to the extensive underwater adventures, those who prefer to stay on solid ground can enjoy tennis lessons with renowned coach Julian Hein, Christmas cake baking overseen by Fairmont Maldives’ skilled chefs, dance classes, and art workshops led by local artists. Creatively inclined guests can even design their own Christmas cards, while younger visitors can write letters to Santa. Santa himself is set to make a special appearance on the island, arriving with a sleigh full of presents following a unique tree lighting ceremony on December 20th.
No festive escape is complete without indulgent and hearty cuisine, and Fairmont Maldives introduces an all-inclusive dining experience. Guests can savour delectable meals at any of the three restaurants or opt for in-villa dining. Raha Market, recently refurbished, offers live cooking stations and a diverse range of global cuisines. Alternatively, guests can relish a three-course meal at the beachfront Azure and Japanese Kata restaurants, accompanied by a selection of cocktails, mocktails, and expertly crafted non-alcoholic beverages.
In the spirit of the season, a sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner at Raha is on the menu, while the New Year’s Eve extravaganza promises a remarkable culinary journey paired with flowing wines and chilled Champagnes. The festive programme is further enhanced by world-class entertainment, including live music by local artists, beachside beats from the resident DJ, and a talented troupe of multi-skilled circus performers.
