Emerald Maldives Resort & SPA invites families to trade in their traditional Christmas trees for some luscious, tropical palms, and celebrate the festive season on the Raa Atoll this year. The 5* member of Leading Hotels of The World promises a socially distanced, activity-filled, restorative winter holiday.
Emerald is excited to announce a series of activities and initiatives to delight guests staying over the festive season, all of which are thoughtfully included within the resort’s fabulous Deluxe All-inclusive offering.
Warming Up: Christmas Tree Decoration (22nd December)
To mark the start of the festive period, guests are invited to take part in the resort decorations. The magnificent Christmas Tree will be embellished with marine-inspired elements and the décor will reflect the Ocean’s natural colour palette, with touches of blues, green and silver. Following the hard work, guests will be rewarded with a cocktail by the Sunset Pool Café, a Flair Show and a live DJ set from 10.30pm onwards.
Cooling Down: Pool Party and Beach Activities (23rd December 2020)
Emerald’s large main pool invites guests for a socially distanced Pool Party, accompanied by BBQ delicacies and refreshing cocktails, as well as fresh coconut stations. Sports enthusiasts will be able to test their volleyball skills during Emerald’s very own volleyball tournament and challenge their family and friends. As night falls and the sea breeze caresses, a live music performance sounds in the background.
Christmas Eve: Carol on the Beach (24th December 2020)
A totally unique experience, families are invited to join the resort team on the Water Sports Beach for one of the most traditional Christmas activities: attending the Christmas carol play, with the sun diving into the Indian Ocean as backdrop. A change of scenery follows, with guests invited to join the Gala Dinner at the resort’s signature Aqua restaurant, located just a few steps from the sea and boasting panoramic views of the ocean framed by the clearer starry sky.
Christmas Day: Brunch with Santa (25th December 2020)
Cutting waves on his jet ski, Santa will make his scenic arrival at Emerald on Christmas morning, joining guests for the Christmas Brunch at Aqua. From 6pm, adults are invited to a one-of-a-kind wine tasting, in the setting of the Sun Set Pool Café while kids will be seated at the resort cinema and served ice creams, popcorn and marshmallows, that they can grill in the kids-friendly barbecue.
