The programme blends classic traditions with beachside flair, from poolside rangoli and kids crafts to henna artistry, a shoreline feast and lively Bollywood sounds after dark. Activities are designed to be drop in, so families and couples can move between moments that suit their pace.

Getting there is easy. Villa Nautica is reached by direct speedboat transfer in about 20 minutes from Velana International Airport, making arrival smooth for quick getaways and longer holidays alike. Food is an essential part of the celebration without taking center stage. Expect a festive spread that nods to regional Indian flavours, balanced with approachable choices for all ages, and plenty of chances to taste something new in a relaxed, oceanfront setting.

Families will find generous space in larger categories such as the Two Bedroom Beach Villa with Two Pools and the Two Bedroom Ocean Suite with Pool. Both place the lagoon close by while giving parents and children room to unwind between Diwali highlights and everyday island activities. Younger guests can also look forward to creative sessions at Wavy Navy Kids Club, including simple card making and lantern crafts guided by friendly hosts.

As evening gathers, the island lights up with gentle lanterns, live entertainment by the beach and a finale set to Bollywood favourites. It is a warm, welcoming way to mark the Festival of Lights in the Maldives. Seasonal value is available with Villa Resorts’ Winter Offer at 20 percent off stays, pairing celebration with savings for couples, families and friends planning a Diwali escape.
