Lily Beach Resort & Spa Maldives is set to sparkle this festive season with a spectacular programme themed “Black & White Vintage”, a tribute to timeless elegance and joyful island living. From 20th December 2025 to 7th January 2026, the award-winning all-inclusive resort invites guests to celebrate the holidays surrounded by pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and unforgettable experiences that
During this festive period, Lily Beach’s idyllic island setting transforms into a vibrant wonderland: azure waters sparkle under star-filled skies, and the décor celebrates both tropical charm and seasonal elegance. Guests can expect haute cuisine, family-friendly adventures, signature wellness sessions, and themed events that span the sands, the reef and the horizon beyond.
A highlight of the season is the presence of celebrated marine scientist and storyteller Bill François and astronomer-explorer Bob François, who bring two spectacular strands of programming to life: marine-life exploration and cosmic discovery. From dolphin-cruises titled “The Truth Behind the Smile” to hands-on workshops for kids and stargazing evenings with high-end telescope imagery, these sessions elevate the festive narrative into a journey of wonder.
On Christmas Eve, the island will welcome a tree-lighting ceremony followed by an elegant gala dinner on the beach. Guests can also join the arrival of Santa on the Watersports Beach followed by live music and DJ sets.
Families will find dedicated fun at every turn — from sand-castle competitions, beach games, henna tattoos at the kids’ club and coral-garden snorkelling, to turtle snorkel tours and sunset cruises. Wellness aficionados will enjoy sunrise yoga and meditation at Tamara Spa, while those seeking adrenaline can join Ocean Adventure or the WOW at Vaavu Xperience.
The grand New Year’s Eve celebration showcases Lily Beach’s flair for festive storytelling: a “Great Menu of Wonders” stand-up gastronomic show with Bill François, a black-and-white gala dinner at Lily Maa, followed by a DJ-led beach party under the stars, complete with fireworks reflecting on the lagoon.
Lily Beach’s festive programme weaves luxury, nature and culture. The resort emphasises sustainable celebrations - décor features locally-sourced materials, events highlight marine-conservation awareness, and every activity reflects the island’s spirit of barefoot elegance. In short: guests will leave with memories, not just photos.
