Villa Park unveils its Festive 2025–2026 programme, a relaxed island rhythm from 20 December 2025 to 6 January 2026 that moves from bright mornings on the lagoon to music-filled evenings on the sand. Guests can expect a warm sunset welcome as the season opens, unhurried beach barbecues, creative afternoons, Christmas Eve dinner, Santa’s island visit on 25 December, and a polished New Year’s Eve gala with a midnight beach countdown, followed by a gentle reset on New Year’s Day and Orthodox Christmas to close the season. The tone is easy and beach-first, with the island’s glow carrying through each moment without fuss or rush.

The programme keeps details practical and the atmosphere unpretentious. Days layer in chef demonstrations, art sessions by the shore, and mellow live music. Evenings lean into romantic tables, treetop dining for two, and simple, photogenic set-ups that let the setting do the work. It is festive and welcoming, designed so couples, friends, and families can dip in and out as they please.

For families, the season shines at Park Players, positioned as the Maldives’ largest kids’ club, where little ones roll from letters to Santa and gingerbread crafts to ocean-blue art, movement classes, story time, and cosy movie nights. Groups are kept small and the care is hands-on, so parents can enjoy their own island rituals knowing the kids are happy.

Villa Park’s family focus is recognised beyond the holidays, with the resort named among the Best Resorts for Families in the Maldives at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025. It is a reader-voted nod that reflects what guests experience on island: generous space, thoughtful programming, and the freedom to set an easy pace together.

Across the calendar, private moments feel just as special as the big celebrations. Think candlelit tables on soft sand, treetop tastings, floating breakfasts for a slow start, and open-air cinema for two. Whether it is a spirited evening by the beach or a quiet walk under lanterns and palms, Villa Park lets each guest decide how their season should glow, from sunrise colour to midnight confetti, then softly into tomorrow.
