Easter candy is hitting the shelves, and that means one thing – it’s time for hot cross buns, succulent roast and chocolate treats galore. And what better way to enjoy them than somewhere sunny and tropical? This April, The Standard, Huruvalhi Maldives is serving up “Easter Escapades” from 18–20 April, promising festive feasts, poolside fun, a spa reset and island adventures for all ages.

Touch down in Malé on 18 April, take a short flight over the shimmering constellation of atolls, and step onto the sandy shores of Huruvalhi just in time for Kula’s Maldivian Night under the stars. The laid-back feast is a weekly showcase of the popular local dishes where coconuts and the ocean’s bounty are elevated by aromatic spices. For a more traditional Easter celebration, join fellow guests for a festive BBQ on the main beach the day after.

Ten Things To Do on Easter Sunday

On 20 April, kids will be bunny-hopping out of bed, eager to dive into the fun-filled schedule curated by The Standard team. After breakfast, it’s off to an egg hunt and playtime with the Easter Bunny, topped off by a mocktail-making session with the resort’s mixologists. Over at the spa, wellness-minded youngsters will be treated to an hour of massages, scrubs and takeaway bunny toys ($35 per child), along with complimentary Easter-ready hairdos during the ‘Braids and Bunnies’ activity. 

Meanwhile, parents can gear up for the Easter Sunday marathon with mindful Mantra Meditation before dressing in their Sunday best for a pastel-hued Easter brunch. Late afternoon is for letting loose at the beautifully soundtracked pool party and unwinding with festive cocktails and riotous adults-only egg hunt during Happy Bunny Hour. The evening wraps up with a lavish seafood feast at Kula for the entire family

Easter Extras

Two spa packages available exclusively on 18-20 April aim to tackle sleeplessness and fatigue. The Renewal Package combines sound healing and deep sleep therapy with a takeaway lavender essential oil, meanwhile The Rejuvenation Package restores your natural glow with facials, wraps, signature massages and a facial moisturiser to take home.  

Finally, the Dive Centre is offering a 10% discount on wakeboarding and water sports for kids from April 17-24. Perfect for burning off that post-Easter sugar rush.
