Exclusive island packages selling fast for June 2026 performances at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives


Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, together with event organisers Music in Paradise, has announced the return of one of Australia’s most celebrated singer-songwriters, Missy Higgins, for a series of intimate performances at the resort’s private island from 13–20 June 2026.

Following her inaugural 2025 Maldives concerts—praised widely by fans and media—Higgins expressed that she had “unfinished business” in the tropics and promised to return for more music, surfing, diving, and island relaxation.

The week-long event will blend the magic of a Maldivian getaway with three exclusive sunset concerts performed by Higgins against the backdrop of swaying palms and turquoise waters. Guests will be treated to beachfront and rooftop Sunset Bar shows, along with unique meet-and-greet opportunities with the artist.

With 26 ARIA Award nominations and five Australian No. 1 singles, Higgins’ return to Kandooma is anticipated to be one of 2026’s most sought-after events. Attendance is capped at 200 guests to ensure an intimate and memorable experience.

“There’s nothing better than great live music and a beach. Add in Missy Higgins and the Maldives, and you’ve got the ultimate getaway. Bring your mates, bring your family — this is one trip you’ll be talking about for years,” said Mark Eletr, General Manager of Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.


“Imagine starting the day diving or snorkelling in the Maldives, then ending it with Missy Higgins singing just metres from the water’s edge. That’s what awaits at Kandooma in 2026, and after the experience of her last performance here, it’s certain to be something guests will carry with them forever,” he added.

The Gold Experience Package, priced at A$4,490 per person twin share, is selling quickly and includes:

• Entry to three exclusive evening events • Three intimate performances by Missy Higgins • Meet & greet session with the artist • Professional photo opportunity • Music in Paradise welcome bag, commemorative poster & t-shirt • Seven nights in a Beach View Villa (13–20 June 2026) • Daily buffet breakfast at Kandooma Café • Return shared speedboat transfers from Malé • Welcome drink & cold towel on arrival • Tea, coffee & bottled water in-villa, replenished daily • Complimentary snorkel trip & snorkelling gear • Two scuba dives per day for two (T&Cs apply, licensed divers only) • Music in Paradise Traveller Care Guarantee

Located in the South Malé Atoll, just 40–45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is a tropical escape of white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and lush coconut palms.
