This year, the Maldives is preparing to celebrate the holidays in spectacular style. From 22 December to 7 January, Sirru Fen Fushi-Private Lagoon Resort in the Shaviyani Atoll will transform into a stage for world-class talent, unforgettable dining, and one-of-a-kind experiences, all inspired by the theme “Symphony of the Island.”
Imagine spending Christmas and New Year surrounded by turquoise waters, while Grammy-winning musicians, Michelin-starred chefs, champion athletes, and even a NASA astronaut bring magic to the island. That’s exactly what awaits at Sirru Fen Fushi.
Music That Moves the Island
When the clock ticks down to midnight on New Year’s Eve, the celebrations will be set to the sound of a true All-Star Band. Leading the line-up is Rami Jaffee from the Foo Fighters, joined by violinist and vocalist Jessy Greene, drummer Erik Aldenius, multi-instrumentalist Todd Morse, and bassist Bill Reynolds. Their performance promises an electrifying soundtrack to welcome 2026 in unforgettable style.
The Art of the Cocktail
At Onu Onu Beach Bar, the nights will sparkle with creativity as some of the world’s best mixologists take over the bar. Expect signature cocktails and surprising new flavors from talents like Harrison Kenny, Millie Tang, and Pham Quoc Dat, each bringing their own flair to the island’s beachside evenings.
A Feast for the Senses
Food will be another star of the season. Guests can look forward to exclusive dinners created by Michelin-starred chefs. Among them: Chef Valentino Cassanelli of Lux Lucis and Jean-Philippe Blondet from Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester. Working alongside the resort’s Executive Chef Girish Sharma, these masters of cuisine will deliver dining experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.
Wellbeing and Inspiration
The celebrations aren’t only about indulgence-they’re also about balance. From private sessions with World Cup Champion Christoph Kramer and tennis pro Alexandra Viktorovitch, to sound healing and yoga with Tamuna Lomidze, the island invites guests to nurture both body and mind.
Art, Elegance, and the Cosmos
On 6 January, the island turns into a stage of pure grace as Daria Pavlenko, Principal Ballerina of the Mariinsky Ballet, performs by the sea. And for those who dream of the stars, NASA Astronaut Dominic Antoneli will share stories of space exploration, offering a rare glimpse into life beyond our planet.
