This festive season, Finolhu transforms into a dazzling playground of oceanfront elegance and celebration. Experience enchanting moments under the stars, from gala dinners and artisanal markets to the Seaside Smokehouse & Sounds. 

Families arriving early will find playful beach-gatherings, a “Sweet Freeze” setting at the Crab Shack, and children mixing fruit cakes in the signature “Family Fruit Cake Mixing & Baking” tradition.

Christmas Day brings the arrival of Santa himself to the Beach Club and the fun continues with a Paella & Sangria lunch by the sea, a teen-only Maldivian cooking class, and a family fun challenge on the beach. Later, the “Maldivian Festive Market” invites you to browse art, crafts, live rhythms of Boduberu and a fire show beneath the stars. 

Christmas Eve is one of the brightest moments of the season. Guests first gather beneath lantern-lit skies for a social cocktail celebration, followed by an elegant oceanfront gala starring seafood, international flavours and festive touches. The night continues with a dazzling beach party and entertainers that bring the shoreline to life.

When New Year’s Eve arrives, the festivities light up the lagoon and beach. A sand-bank gathering sets the stage, leading into the “New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner” — live music, vibrant beats, cultural performances, dancing into the night, and fireworks above the ocean. 

In the days that follow, the tone softens into reflection and renewal: relaxing brunches, sunset cocktails, children’s craft workshops, rum & chocolate pairings, and underwater “discovery mermaid” sessions – a gentle transition into the new year with island elegance and playful luxury.

Throughout the season, special excursions await: a Turtle & Dolphin Safari, PADI Bubble Maker for kids aged 8-9, Big Game Fishing, SEABOB family packages available to book.
