Milaidhoo Maldives Beckons Guests To Embrace Maldivian Royalty This Festive Season
Sunday 30th of October 2022
The spectacular island resort Milaidhoo Maldives, located amidst the cyan blues and vibrant corals of a UNESCO Biosphere reserve, has unveiled its magical journey for the festive season. Milaidhoo Maldives is offering guests the chance to transverse back in time and experience the island life from the lens of a sultan, during the high-time of the Old Spice routes. Get a glimpse of the luxuries enjoyed by Sultans, the Maldivian royalty by indulging in rich flavours that graced the shores of the Maldives during the time.
Milaidhoo Maldives draws inspiration from real-life events from 5000 years ago when the island nation was deemed a prominent key port for traders from all over the continent. Sailors from Indonesia, India, and even Arabia used to drop anchor at the islands, bartering with the Maldivians cargoes of cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, cloves, ginger and pepper in exchange for coconuts, sun-dried fish, cordage, cowrie shells, and sails woven from coconut fibre. Afterwards, the bounty was distributed among the archipelago while tales of other lands, customs and cuisine reached the people.
At Milaidhoo, the remnants of history are yet again awoken by transforming the island resort into a haven filled with familiar island comforts while also heightening the senses with gastronomical delights from the Old Spice routes. The epicures among the guests can enjoy the best ingredients, infused with herbs and spices that will result in the most tantalizing aromas.
Bringing to the resort a sensory experience like no other, embark on a culinary experience marked by authentic Maldivian cuisines, tailored live stations and an exquisite Arabic-souk-themed dining experience. Moreover, add to your party skills by learning the arts of cocktail making by attending a cocktail masterclass session or channelling your competitiveness in the ‘Milaidhoo Mystery Spice Challenge’. Likewise, test your knowledge of spices and wines by taking up the blind-tasting sessions, forming part of the impressive itinerary this year. Or even opt to savour the island-inspired cuisine aboard a boat-in-a-lagoon restaurant at Ba’theli.
Apart from the many dining experiences, guests can immerse in wellness programmes focusing on self-care, that promotes healing through herbal and natural products. Furthermore, cruise to the Indian Ocean with a dedicated ‘Sailing like a Sultan’ experience and of course, enjoy the extravagant celebrations and festivities that Christmas and New Year bring to the resort.
Milaidhoo Maldives invites guests to spin their own island tale this festive season, complemented with delectable dishes and meaningful journeys from the lives of the Sultans.
