This Easter, Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, part of The Centara Collection, is transforming the long weekend into a festive, tropical celebration for the whole family. From April 19th to 21st, guests can look forward to a packed schedule of Easter-themed events, creative kids’ activities, family beach games, and indulgent feasts — all set against the stunning backdrop of the Maldives.
The holiday kicks off with a mix of creative fun for young guests at Camp Safari, the resort’s kids’ club. Activities include Easter egg painting, hat-making, and crafting personalised Easter baskets. Older children can also get hands-on with palm leaf origami, learning a unique island skill while creating their own keepsake.
For families, highlights include the Easter Eggciting Hunt, where guests search the island for hidden chocolates and win prizes, and the Easter Family Beach Games at Water Sports Beach. Expect friendly competition with sack races, balloon fights, and tug-of-war, perfect for bonding in the sun.
On April 20th, the Easter Parade brings music and colour to the island, led by the Easter Bunny and traditional Boduberu drummers. The following night, guests can dance the evening away at the Easter Pool Disco Party with live music by DJ Roshan.
The food is just as festive, with a lavish Easter Buffet Breakfast and a grand Easter Brunch at The Reef. The brunch includes a selection of meats, sides, and desserts, priced at USD 99 for adults, with a 50% discount for children and free for all-inclusive guests.
For those seeking a slower pace, there’s sunrise yoga at North Beach or a cosy movie night under the stars with popcorn on April 19th.
April is also a great time to explore the island’s vibrant house reef, where visibility reaches over 30 metres. The reef features colourful corals, a shipwreck, and marine life such as nurse sharks, rays, and reef fish. The resort’s dive centre offers guidance for safe and sustainable exploration.
With activities complimentary for in-house guests (excluding the Easter brunch), Machchafushi Island Resort offers a truly memorable way to celebrate Easter in one of the world’s most beautiful island destinations.
