Lily Beach Resort & Spa Maldives is set to shimmer this festive season with a “Black & White Vintage” celebration – an ode to timeless elegance and joyful island living. From 20 December 2025 to 7 January 2026, the award-winning all-inclusive resort invites guests to mark the holidays amid pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons and a calendar of unforgettable experiences.
Throughout the season, the resort transforms into a vivid island wonderland: star-lit skies, seasonal accents and tropical textures blend to create a festive ambience that feels both elevated and easy. Guests can look forward to haute cuisine, family-friendly adventures, signature wellness sessions and themed experiences that stretch from reef to horizon.
A key highlight of the programme is the arrival of two celebrated guest experts: marine scientist and storyteller Bill François and astronomer-explorer Bob François. Together, they spark a dual journey-one into the ocean’s secret language, the other into the cosmos. Expect dolphin cruises titled The Truth Behind the Smile, hands-on marine workshops for children and spellbinding stargazing nights powered by high-end telescopes. Their presence transforms the festive narrative into a season of discovery.
Christmas Eve brings a traditional tree-lighting ceremony followed by an elegant gala dinner on the beach. Santa makes his entrance the next day at the Watersports Beach, where celebrations continue with live music and DJ sets.
Families will find dedicated fun at every turn-from sandcastle competitions, beach games and henna tattoos at the kids’ club to coral-garden snorkelling, turtle tours and sunset cruises. Wellness enthusiasts can begin the day with sunrise yoga and meditation at Tamara Spa, while thrill-seekers join Ocean Adventure or the WOW at Vaavu Xperience excursions.
New Year’s Eve showcases Lily Beach’s flair for celebratory storytelling. The night features a “Great Menu of Wonders” stand-up gastronomic show with Bill François, followed by a chic black-and-white gala dinner at Lily Maa and a starlit beach party with fireworks dancing over the lagoon.
Lily Beach’s festive season blends nature, culture and luxury with purpose. Décor incorporates locally sourced materials, events highlight marine-conservation themes and the overarching spirit is one of barefoot elegance. Guests are invited not just to celebrate, but to connect-to place, to people, and to memories that linger long after the season ends.
