Jumeirah Vittaveli’s Ice Rink on Beach

Jumeirah Vittaveli will mark the second anniversary of its eco-friendly open air ice rink with an ice skating masterclass by Evgeni Plushenko, Olympic gold medalist.

In 2018, Mr Plushenko inaugurated the ice rink back with an extraordinary presentation – showcasing his trademark jumps and head spinning pirouettes on the 87 square meter skating surface.

For the first anniversary in March 2019, Mr Plushenko surprised the resort by gifting one of his costumes and a pair of skates that he wore during his gold medal winning performance at the Olympics 2014 in Sochi.

“I can’t thank Evgeni enough for his support of our ice skating endeavour in one of the most unlikely countries for such a sport – the tropical island nation of the Maldives,” stated Amit Majumder, former General Manager of Jumeirah Vittaveli and current Vice President, Boutique Resorts at Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts.
