As the Maldives is a Muslim country, Christmas celebrations may not seem as grand as any other destination. Nonetheless, a few resorts do take an interest in creating the atmosphere for their guests.
Starting celebrations ahead
A few of the best resorts in Maldives begin their celebrations a little earlier than the rest. This involves activities for guests like decoration crafting and the ceremonial lighting of the Christmas Tree. The little ones can also help with creating Christmas décor made of salted dough.
Family games
Those travelling with family can look forward to fun games and activities for a memorable tropical Christmas. For example, resorts may organise quests to search for hidden holiday treats with a few clues around the resort. Some activities may also involve creating gingerbread houses with family.
Parties
Resorts like Grand Park Kodhipparu may organise special Christmas cocktail parties. Gala dinners on Christmas Eve with delicious international seasonal favourites and live stations are quite popular.
Sports events
Sports events are sometimes held in the period between Christmas and New Year. Badminton tournaments, marathons and various family fitness camps are popular.
