If you’re thinking about making this Eid al-Adha extra memorable, Alila Kothaifaru might be just the place. Tucked away on a quiet private island in the Maldives, the resort offers an inviting mix of luxury and tradition-all set against a backdrop of turquoise water, soft sand, and total peace.
On Sunday, June 8, the island will come to life with a thoughtful celebration of Eid. It’s the kind of day that brings people together, where the rhythm of live Boduberu drumming and the grace of Badhiya dancing set the tone for something special. These traditional performances aren’t just entertainment-they’re a beautiful reflection of Maldivian culture, shared in a setting that feels both personal and celebratory.
Families are well looked after, too. While the grown-ups unwind, little ones can dive into creative kids’ activities designed to spark joy and keep them happily engaged throughout the day.
As the sun dips toward the horizon, guests gather on the beach for a sunset cocktail hour. With the sky glowing gold and local music playing softly in the background, it’s the kind of moment that makes you pause-a chance to take it all in with a drink in hand and your toes in the sand.
Dinner that evening is a highlight in itself. At Seasalt, the resort’s signature restaurant, the team will be serving an Eid buffet that blends Arabic and Maldivian flavours. Expect everything from smoky grills and colourful mezze to island favourites made with fresh, local ingredients. It’s a generous spread, served in a relaxed, open-air setting where the ocean’s never far from view.
Beyond the day’s celebration, Alila Kothaifaru is offering a Summer Getaway that makes staying even sweeter-including breakfast and dinner, savings on spa treatments and dining, plus roundtrip seaplane transfers. Guests can also join in on a range of complimentary weekly activities that showcase the island’s natural beauty, whether that’s a guided snorkel, a nature walk, or something a little more laid-back.
So if you’re looking to trade city noise for island calm-and celebrate Eid with a little more meaning-this might be your perfect chance.
