Festive Celebration 2023

FESTIVE CELEBRATION

DEAR VALUED GUEST,

The team and I are delighted to host you for an exciting season of sparkle and spectacle on the Island of Celebration.

From a breathtaking tree lighting ceremony to Santa's water-borne arrival, the festivities get off to a Christmassy start filled with memories to treasure.

New Year's Eve is set to be a lavish affair, complete with glitz, glamour and tantalising live entertainment. Prepare for stunning costumes, live music that will have you dancing all night, and a party worthy of this century’s roaring twenties.

Enjoy music-filled family-friendly parties. Wine and dine your way through indulgent culinary journeys from a five-course degustation dinner at Benjarong to an authentic street food festival. Discover wellness experiences to balance mind body and soul.

As we bid farewell to 2023 and usher in 2024, I would like to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for making this Island of Celebration your home away from home. The entire team at Dusit Thani Maldives wishes you the most happy of holidays.

Reinhold Johann General Manager
