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.
