The festive spirit has checked in early, casting a magical glow over the Taj group’s marquee resorts in the Maldives – Taj Exotica Resort & Spa and Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa. In the week leading up to Christmas, New Year and beyond, guests can expect a bonanza of activities and adventures designed to usher in unforgettable vacations. The celebrations are part of IHCL’s ‘Moments of Joy’ holiday packages offered at select resorts across the Taj portfolio. Extending the festivities into a brand-new year, the stay packages – applicable to be booked through January and valid until March 2024 – offer special room rates, spa and dining privileges. 

Sparking little big joys 

Families checking into both resorts will be delighted at the activities specifically planned for children. From movie nights on the beach with popcorn and milkshakes, ‘Sundae’ Socials by the pool, carnivals and treasure hunts to sandcastle competitions and gingerbread house decorations, young guests of all ages will be physically, mentally and socially engaged and entertained in a magical wonderland. 

Renewing Traditions

The festivities at Taj Maldives invite guests to start or renew family traditions in a pristine landscape that inspires creativity and joy. Whether lighting up eco-friendly Christmas trees with friends and family, welcoming Santa Claus or tucked into a blanket with a mug of eggnog, the resorts create an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia that heralds a soulful beginning to 2024.

That Festive Glow

The year-end flurry of travel and social commitments often results in an exhausted body and tired mind. Taj Maldives has crafted several holistic wellness packages for the holidays that help guests achieve a connection between body, mind, and soul. From fun aqua aerobics and aerial yoga classes to spa glow-up packages, revellers can expect to look and feel glorious. For adventure-seekers, Taj Maldives has crafted an itinerary of exciting Indian Ocean adventures. Sunset cruises, guided scuba diving and snorkelling sessions, sandbank picnics outings and island tours have been designed for serendipitous moments that feel like Christmas miracles choreographed by Nature.  

New Year Galas

Holiday parties at Taj Maldives are legendary on the island nation. Guests can mingle during relaxed beach barbecues with live music, elegant dinners and memorable parties throughout the season. The New Year bashes at both resorts pull out all the stops with themed balls, sensational music, dance performances, and gourmet feasts. The Black and Gold Gala at Taj Coral Reef promises to transport guests into a world of sophistication and glamour veiled under uniquely crafted masks. At the same time, the All-White Party at Taj Exotica is designed as a mystical landscape of feathers, silk and velvet with mood lighting and reverberating house music.
