Villa Park Maldives has launched its Festive 2025–2026 schedule, offering a laid-back island experience that runs from 20 December 2025 to 6 January 2026. The programme moves gently from calm lagoon mornings to evenings filled with live music on the beach. The season begins with a welcoming sunset reception, followed by casual beach barbecues, creative daytime sessions, a Christmas Eve dinner, Santa’s arrival on 25 December, and an elegant New Year’s Eve gala ending with a midnight countdown on the sand. A relaxed New Year’s Day recovery and Orthodox Christmas observances round off the festivities. Throughout, the atmosphere stays unhurried and beach-centred, allowing the island’s natural light to define every occasion.
The line-up combines practical arrangements with a straightforward, approachable feel. Daily offerings range from chef-led demonstrations and seaside art workshops to mellow acoustic performances. Evenings bring intimate dining tables, treetop dinners for couples, and understated, picture-perfect settings that showcase the surroundings. Built with flexibility at its core, the calendar lets couples, groups of friends, and families participate at whatever pace suits them.
Families find particular highlights at Park Players, recognised as one of the largest kids’ clubs in the Maldives. Children can take part in writing letters to Santa, decorating gingerbread, ocean-themed art classes, movement sessions, storytelling hours, and comfortable movie evenings. Limited group sizes and attentive supervision allow parents to enjoy their own island rhythm with complete peace of mind.
The resort’s strong family appeal continues year-round. Villa Park Maldives was recently voted among the Best Resorts for Families in the Maldives in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025, a reader-driven honour that reflects the spacious layout, carefully designed activities, and freedom to maintain a comfortable, collective tempo.
Within the festive period, quieter moments carry equal weight alongside the main events. Options include candlelit dinners on the sand, treetop tasting menus, floating breakfasts to ease into the day, and private open-air cinema screenings. Whether guests prefer a lively beach gathering or a peaceful stroll under lanterns and palms, Villa Park Maldives enables everyone to craft their own luminous holiday—from dawn hues to midnight fireworks, and gently onward into the new year.
