A Global Odyssey in the Heart of the Baa Atoll
Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences ushered in 2026 with a high-concept celebration titled “Around the World in Wonder.” Inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, the resort transformed into a global stage, proving once again why it remains a leader in creative, experience-led luxury.
For travel trade partners, Amilla’s festive programming offers a robust narrative for high-net-worth clients seeking a blend of high-energy entertainment, cultural depth, and the seclusion of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Culinary Artistry: “Around the World in a Glass”
The New Year’s Eve journey began with a focus on liquid craftsmanship and global gastronomy.
- Beachfront Journey: The evening launched with “Around the World in a Glass,” a cocktail experience featuring spirits and infusions from across the continents.
- Starlit Dining: A gourmet dinner buffet showcased Amilla’s signature “Homegrown@Amilla” and “Ethical Eating” philosophies, with dishes ranging from Mediterranean classics to Pan-Asian delicacies.
- Leadership Presence: General Manager Morgan Martinello personally welcomed guests, reinforcing the resort’s commitment to “Island Homes” hospitality.
Entertainment: A Multi-Sensory Poolside Spectacle
The celebration centered on a dramatic stage built directly over the resort’s iconic pool, featuring a world-class lineup of international talent.
