Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa invites guests to embrace the magic of Diwali in paradise with a five-day celebration that brings together vibrant Indian traditions and the natural beauty of the Maldives. From October 16 to 20, 2025 the resort will radiate with light, rhythm, and color, creating an unforgettable holiday for couples, families, and friends.
The festivities commence on October 16 with intricate henna art, uplifting DJ beats on Kakuni Beach, and a lively Bollywood dance workshop. As the sun sets, the celebration continues with chilled sunset grooves, a dazzling LED light performance, a kids’ disco, and the energetic sounds of a live Bollywood band under the stars.
Each day unfolds as a tapestry of culture, wellness, and creativity. Guests may start mornings with calming sunrise stretches, explore traditional elegance at the Sari and Kurta Style Corner, or express creativity with rangoli designs, diya painting, tote bag block-printing, and lantern making. Families will delight in kid-friendly activities ranging from glow paint sessions and balloon fun to playful discos designed to spark joy for little ones late into the evening.
Evenings transform into a festival of light and music. Guests can sway to saxophone serenades at sunset, feel the pulse of Maldivian Boduberu drums, and marvel at fire dance performances inspired by island culture. From October 16 to 19, Masala Hut presents an elevated dining journey with a free-flow feast of vegetarian and non-vegetarian delights showcasing the authentic flavors of India — an experience rich with warmth, spice, and festive charm.
The celebration reaches its pinnacle on October 19 with the enchanting Floating Lantern Wishes Ceremony. As lanterns drift across the pool, families and couples share a collective moment of hope, unity, and light, capturing the very essence of Diwali.
On October 20, the festivities conclude with the Grand Seaside Feast & Grill Night at Anchorage Beach. Against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean, guests will indulge in a lavish buffet combining Indian favorites with Western classics, fresh seafood, and sizzling grilled specialties. The evening features the soulful melodies of a live trio band, the Rangoli Lighting Ceremony, the spectacular Diwali Dhamaka Show, and a finale of live Bollywood music that carries the lively celebration late into the night.
