Christmas and New Years are welcomed by the weather with perfect days, sun-drenched beaches, clear blue skies, moderate humidity and fresh ocean breezes.
If in the first half of December the rains can be more frequent and heavy, then the second half of December, as well as January, are considered a dry season, so nothing will prevent you from enjoying the holidays to the fullest.
Since the Maldives is a Muslim country, visitors to the islands should be prepared for the fact that the Christmas mood here is somewhat different from the traditional one.
Some hotels are limited to festive decorations and inviting guests to a Christmas dinner.
However, there are resorts that start to create a festive mood long before the holiday itself. For example, guests can take part in the making of Christmas decorations and the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The youngest guests are given the opportunity to create interesting Christmas tree decorations from salted dough with their own hands.
Since Christmas is primarily a family holiday, various events, quests, games and workshops for the whole family are organized for guests. For example, guests can unleash their creativity and create a gingerbread decoration for their villa with their own hands, search for holiday treats using clues hidden along the paths of the island, or write a letter to Santa.
Resorts can host cocktail parties on Christmas Eve, which seamlessly evolve into gala dinners with interactive cooking shows and a delectable selection of holiday delicacies. Some resorts continue to celebrate the next day with champagne brunch and gourmet snacks.
In addition, between Christmas and New Year’s, some resorts may host various sports events, marathons, football championships, tennis tournaments, water polo and bowling, yoga, badminton, family fitness, which includes family relay races, and others. Fun and energetic activities for vacationers of all ages.
Guests looking for peace and solitude can spend Christmas in the Maldives on a quiet beach, relaxing and enjoying the wonderful weather and sightseeing with their loved ones.
