Celebrating the Season, Together
Marhaba, a warm welcome to Jumeirah Olhahali Island, and thank you for choosing to spend this special time of year with us. It is a true privilege to be part of your festive journey, and we look forward to creating moments you will carry with you long after the stay.
Across the season, our team has curated a series of experiences to bring you joy, wonder, and stillness in equal measure. From the sparkle of our Christmas Eve and Orthodox Soirées to the energy of our New Year’s Eve celebration beneath the stars, each
moment is crafted to bring people together in the spirit of the holidays.
Beyond these highlights, our island ofers space to simply be. To pause, to play, to reconnect. Indulge in serene spa rituals over the water, venture into the reefs teeming with colour, or share in candlelit dinners beneath a canopy of stars. However you choose to celebrate, we are here to make it meaningful, through care in every detail, warmth in every gesture, and the natural magic of the Maldives.
From all of us at Jumeirah Olhahali Island, we wish you a joyful Christmas and a bright, beautiful New Year. Should there be anything we can do to make your time with us even more special, we are always here.
