Découvrez cette saison festive à Jumeirah Olhahali Island

En cette période de fêtes, Île de Jumeirah Olhahali invites guests to create lasting memories with loved ones through a three-week series of experiences that embody the spirit of the island and warmth of the season. From tree lighting ceremonies to exclusive gala dinners, the all-villa resort’s curated programme promises to elevate and enrich every guest’s holiday moments.

The celebrations start on 18 December with a beachside Christmas tree lighting ceremony, featuring handcrafted canapés, refreshing beverages, and carol singing to set a joyful tone. Following the tree lighting ceremony, those looking to continue the glamorous evening can opt to join an exclusive ‘Taste of Al-Andalus’ dinner, where they will be treated to delicious Spanish cuisine under the Maldivian sky.

Les familles peuvent partager des moments riches en émotions avec des séances de décoration de maisons en pain d'épices ou des masterclasses de chocolat, où elles apprendront à créer des friandises décadentes tout en profitant des plaisirs de la saison. Pour les plus petits qui préfèrent passer leur temps à explorer les grands espaces, des quêtes de tortues et de dauphins les attendent, tandis que ceux qui préfèrent rester sur terre peuvent se joindre à une exploration d'une île locale, s'immergeant dans le mode de vie maldivien grâce à une visite instructive.

À l'approche de la veille de Noël, les invités sont invités à se déguiser pour un cocktail de Noël intime au Shimmers Beach, suivi d'un dîner de gala festif mettant en vedette les classiques de Noël ainsi qu'un délicieux buffet proposant des cuisines du monde entier. Des divertissements en direct complèteront l'atmosphère magique tandis que les invités célébreront la joie de la saison.

Christmas Day kicks off with a festive brunch and pool party, before families gather on the resort’s beach to extend a warm welcome to Santa himself as he cruises along the turquoise waters, delighting the little ones with wonderous surprises all the way from the North Pole. Those wishing to indulge further can opt for a Sabered & Stirred masterclass at Kayto to discover the art of sabrage while enjoying expertly crafted cocktails, while those who aren’t quite ready to let the festive spirit go will delight in the Boxing Day wine dinner taking place the following day.

As the year draws to a close, Jumeirah Olhahali Island hosts a New Year’s Eve beachside soirée at Fini Maizan, featuring cocktails and canapés as the sun sets. The revelry will then make its way to Glow for an extraordinary gala dinner, with a spectacular feast and captivating live performances against the backdrop of the starry night sky. The mesmerising evening culminates in a countdown as guests ring in the New Year under a dazzling firework display with their nearest and dearest.

For those seeking for a moment of revitalisation after the festivities, the resort’s visiting wellness guide, Dr. Shagnika Pradhan, will be on hand to ensure that guests can unwind amidst the serene surroundings of this island paradise. Available to guests from 24 December to 07 January, Dr. Pradhan brings her expertise in pain and stress management to the island, offering treatments such as acupuncture and sleep enhancement therapies to help guests truly relax this festive season. Alongside Dr. Pradhan’s treatments, the resort also offers a range of wellness and sporting activities, from Tibetan singing bowl sound healing sessions to a tennis tournament that will instil a little competitive spirit in the tropical retreat.

With exceptional dining experiences, wellness offerings and island activities to look forward to, Jumeirah Olhahali Island’s festive programme ensures that every guest can experience the magic of the season while creating lifelong bonds with their loved ones.
