On Easter Sunday, we were all gathered at the Mystique Garden in Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences, eagerly awaiting to go on an egg quest themed ‘The Secret Garden’. The quest was inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic fairy tale and was led by Amilla’s very own animators, Des and Zoie O’Connor.
Throughout the week building up to Easter Sunday. Various activities were organized with an element of sustainability woven thoughtfully into each activity. The seasonal theme of rebirth and renewal of Easter was embraced at the egg quest, taking the audience of young and young at heart alike through a mysterious hunt across the island’s homegrown garden.
The children were immediately drawn to the quest trying to figure out the puzzles that were each presented to them by the captivating performances of an aerial dancer, a sand artist, a yogi, and a magician. No doubt, the kids pieced together one clue after the other and headed to the sandy beach for a thrilling egg hunt.
With their baskets full with colorful eggs they decorated earlier in the week, the kids were pumped by the end of the hunt to quickly exchange their eggs for delicious chocolatey treats.
Amilla will be celebrating the month of laughter, connection, and sharing with Nature Bunny leading crafts, Easter egg-tossing, and of course, delicious cuisine and cocktails until April 24, Orthodox Easter.
