The Maldivian retreat will celebrate the festive season with
unique experiences, live performances and culinary excellence curated for the
whole family.
Those looking to escape to tropical shores this festive season
will not only enjoy the sand beneath their feet at the luxury Jumeirah
Vittaveli resort in the Maldives but are set to experience unique
activities and entertainment in keeping with the most wonderful time of the
year.
Situated in the South Male Atoll, the exclusive Maldivian isle
with its 90 suites and villas will commence the festivities with the lighting
of its Christmas Tree on 22nd December before its in-house
choir takes to the stage on the 24th and 25th for
the resorts annual carol singing tradition. In the past, Santa has made
surprise appearances on a jet-ski and by catamaran, and it is hoped he will
delight kids staying in the resort on the 25th December once
again.
Live performances and music will also get the resort into the
swing of the festive season with everything from ballet to acrobatics
and even a touch of magic. A resident five-piece band, saxophone soloist and DJ
will entertain guests from 24th December through to 7th January
at venues across the island paradise. The party will continue from New Years
Eve through to New Years Day at Samsara restaurant where a decadent
limited-edition menu will be served to celebrate on both days.
The culinary team will be offering up fresh oysters, lobster,
tiger prawns as well as suckling pig and a range of other delicacies. At the
stroke of midnight, the islands lagoon will be lit up by a mesmerizing
firework show to ring in the New Year, while guests are invited to party
beachside, with molecular cocktails and champagne. The theme of the NYE
celebrations will be the Great Gatsby with guests invited to dress in roaring
20s style or take advantage of the in-house tailor to create a Charleston style
dress or dapper suit.
Jumeirah Vittavelis General Manager Abhijit Ghosh is already in
the festive mood, stating: "Our team is excited to surprise our guests with
this years festive celebrations the Christmas tree will be a highlight onto
itself, and the Great Gatsby style New Years festivities are the extravagant
icing on top! It is a pure joy to see the enthusiasm of my team in making sure
everything is ready for a joyous festive holiday and am looking forward to
welcoming guests for this magical time of the year."
Indeed, a special culinary flair is a must for the festive season,
and Jumeirah Vittaveli will showcase a progressive journey from exclusive
vintage drinks to festive nibbles and a lavish dinner buffet for the festive
galas, planned for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Russian Orthodox Christmas
on 6th January. On other nights, a Louis Roederer crystal
champagne dinner at Cuvée and an oyster and caviar night
at Fenesse await guests who are eager to excite their palate.
For travellers looking to disconnect over the holiday season,
visiting holistic practitioner Isaac Vidjrakou will be at Talise
Spa at Jumeirah Vittaveli with a range of practical techniques to help
encourage mindfulness and wellbeing in everyday life including masterclasses in
Breathing, Meditation and Yoga, as well as his signature Saki Massage.
