After Christmas and winter holidays, let the Maldives amaze you with what it has for Easter. With many luxury resorts celebrating the festival, Amilla Maldives and LUX* North Malé Atoll are two of our favourites.
Find the perfect balance between fun and fitness at Amilla Maldives’ Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory-themed celebrations.
Apart from the resort’s very own ‘Oompah Loompas’, specialist chocolatier Yannick Abrahams is jetting in to host a Chocolate Petit Fours Class as well as a five course Chocolate Degustation Menu on Easter Monday, whilst Amilla’s Javvu Spa will lay on a Cacao Ceremony.
While kids will be able to grab a ‘Golden Ticket’ to a special football camp hosted by former Netherlands winger Arjen Robben and Maldives captain Ali Ashfaq, guests of all ages will be able to take part in a pro tennis camp. Meanwhile, Grandmaster Aniket Bhosale will host martial arts classes and one-on-one coaching.
The Easter Bunny will perform acrobatics followed by a fashion parade hosted by Willy Wonka and the Candy Girls. Wonka himself will lead an Extreme Easter Eggs Hunt around the island on Easter Sunday, culminating in a fabulous pool party full of fun and games including a magic workshop.
Watch the magic happen from April 9 to 14, starting with an immersive Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at Café LUX* where guests can put their creativity to the test with latte art classes and a special ‘babycino’ hot cocoa-decorating class for our little guests.
The highlight of the five-day Easter program must be Alice’s Underwater Easter Egg Hunt where a lucky guest will stand a chance to win a one-night stay in a 351 square-metre Beach or Overwater Villa with daily breakfast for two persons.
Easter is not complete without an exciting Champagne Brunch at INTI restaurant with a South American spread prepared by Chef de Cuisine Roberto Guevara. Those seeking livelier actions can enjoy a feast of international cuisine on the beach with a fire show and live music lined up for Easter evening.
