This holiday season, the Maldives shimmers with renewed splendour as Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts and Colours of OBLU unveil an extraordinary festive celebration. A tapestry of tropical indulgence, glittering soirées, and heartfelt island traditions comes alive across every resort. Festivities begin well before Christmas and flow seamlessly into the New Year, unfolding in waves of warmth, joy, and island magic.
Two island favourites, Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives and OBLU SELECT Lobigili, are bringing these festivities to life with thoughtfully designed events that capture the true spirit of the season across their distinctive all-inclusive island escapes.
Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives brings the season to life with sunlit mornings, festive sparkles, and warm island energy. From 21 December 2025 to 7 January 2026, days begin with sunrise yoga or calm lagoon cruises before easing into the glow of the Grand Kanifushi Christmas Tree, cheerful carols, and lively themed evenings. Christmas Eve unfolds with Santa’s arrival, flowing drinks, upbeat music, and a beachfront gala that rolls into an open-air DJ party. Christmas Day stays relaxed with a festive lunch, live tunes, and “Cinema Under the Stars.” The celebrations crest with the Twilight Fantazia New Year’s Gala, lighting up the beach with fireworks as 2026 arrives. Enhancing the festive escape is a holiday offer, featuring a 20% saving on a minimum four-night stay, along with complimentary round-trip seaplane transfers, the signature all-inclusive KANIFUSHI Plan™, curated festive dining experiences, live entertainment, and the much-anticipated New Year’s Eve gala dinner.

Over at OBLU SELECT Lobigili, the adults-only island sets a romantic tone for couples, with celebrations running from 22 December 2025 to 9 January 2026. Days unfold at a gentle, refreshing pace, think lagoon adventures, energising wellness sessions, and soothing couples’ workshops. As Christmas approaches, the island adds a festive glow with its tree-lighting ceremony, sweet seasonal touches, and cosy evening entertainment. Christmas Eve is all about sunset cocktails, a lovely gala dinner at Ylang Ylang, and a Movie Under the Stars. The season reaches its sparkling finale on New Year’s Eve with a Masquerade-themed night of music, dancing, and fireworks over the lagoon. OBLU SELECT Lobigili™ also invites couples to celebrate the season with its romantic festive offer, where you can enjoy up to 20% off on a minimum four-night stay with complimentary round-trip transfers, the all-inclusive LOBI™ Plan, a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, gingerbread decorating, festive pool party, Christmas Eve gala dinner, and cosy movie night under the stars.
Across all Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts and Colours of OBLU resorts, the festive season unfolds as more than a celebration; it becomes a collection of cherished moments, warm and heartfelt, set against the beauty of the Maldives.
