Set against the natural beauty of Raa Atoll, the resort’s Lunar New Year celebrations blend tradition with contemporary island living, offering meaningful moments of togetherness, creativity, and indulgence throughout the four-day programme.

The celebrations commence on 16 February with a Lunar New Year Cocktail at Café Umi Beach, followed by the resort’s signature Lunar New Year Gala Beach Dinner, an elegant evening featuring festive cuisine, fresh seafood, and vibrant live performances including the Lion Dance and Fire Show beneath the Maldivian night sky.

Culinary experiences remain at the heart of the programme, with a series of themed dinners and tastings curated to reflect the spirit of the season. Highlights include wine-led dining journeys, a celebratory reunion dinner, a seafood-focused evening at Fish Market, and an Asian BBQ pop-up buffet, each offering guests the opportunity to gather and share in the joy of the Lunar New Year through food.

Wellness takes a central role with restorative offerings designed to encourage balance and renewal. Guests can enjoy signature spa rituals inspired by local traditions, immersive sound healing sessions, and energising fitness experiences, complemented by the presence of a visiting integrative somatic practitioner supporting mind-body wellbeing throughout the festive period.

The programme also features daily entertainment and cultural performances, including ribbon and fan dances, umbrella performances, fire shows, and a full day dedicated to Olympic-style island games for all ages. Younger guests are invited to take part in creative workshops, festive crafts, and outdoor activities, while art enthusiasts can explore resin art workshops led by the resort’s resident artist.
