Day two will continue with some fun in the sun at the hotspot of the island, the Fish & Crab Shack. Guests will be able to bring out their inner kid with beach volleyball, games and water rides, or just chill out and enjoy light bites and curated cocktails. The Baa Baa Beach Diner will be the evening hotspot for food trucks serving easy grazing food, before a one-of-a-kind night dancing to the smooth sounds of Grammy award-winning artist, Robin Thicke.
As the weekend wraps up on July 30th, the final day will be filled with tarot card readings and poolside spa treatments while guests unwind to the classic sounds of legendary 60’s and 70’s female artists.

Finolhu’s stylish 125 villas come on the ocean, the lagoon or by the beach, with or without a pool in either one or two bedroom options – an eclectic retreat with a buzzy bon-vivant vibe, bringing toes-in-the-sand relaxation to fun-loving beach-erati.
Pick a spot poolside or on the beach at the 1OAK Beach Club and graze from the live cooking stations at the Baa Baa Beach Diner for breakfast, lunch or dinner while resident Area 51 mermaids and stilt walkers surprise with jaw-dropping performances. Other grazing choices range from the Fish & Crab Shack, an oasis of rustic chic deliciousness halfway along Finolhu’s stunning 1.8km sandbank; the star dining venue Kanusan with a theatrically Asian spirit; or boutique-style Baahaa Grill where guests can enjoy magical Maghreb flavors.
Finolhu’s Marine HUB (i.e. Home of the Underwater Biosphere) hosts epic water activities including diving, snorkeling trips, and excursions. The Oceaneers Club is ideal for tots to teens, with activities specially created to suit the kids who are on the island, rather than a prescribed menu. For power junkies and action seekers, Thunderball is home to a variety of water sports and beach games located at Palm Beach.
The Cove Club is a happening hub of 10 chandelier-lit, pastel-coloured beach Divans that are complemented by a fitness center, movement pavilion, outdoor ‘Palm Beach gym’ and a mellow retro revival area where massage, movement and chilling is medicinal.
