From December 21, 2024 to January 10, 2025, Joali Maldives will transform into a magical Christmas island where guests can enjoy a magical holiday.

From classic festive events, including a Christmas tree lighting ceremony and a visit from Santa Claus, to a lavish gala and Christmas brunch, Joali Maldives will embrace the spirit of the holiday while staying true to its concept of immersive art. Guests will be guided by an on-site artist to explore their artistic potential by creating unique pottery pieces.

A special event will also feature guests contributing to the resort’s Joali Reef Restoration Project by planting coral fragments on a specially-designed Christmas tree structure that will complement the island’s house reef.

Guests will be able to join the resort’s models to showcase exclusive clothing collections created especially for Joali in collaboration with Aquazzura and Frescobol Carioca on the tropical catwalk.

Joali Maldives will also invite several world-renowned chefs and experts to help guests fully experience the festive atmosphere this winter:

• Ekaterina Alyokhina is the first female chef in Russia to be awarded a Michelin star. Her Moscow restaurant Biologie is based on the concept of closed-loop cooking, which unites the biological kingdoms of animals, plants, fungi and bacteria. Ekaterina Alyokhina will host a gourmet dinner with wine pairing, inspired by the concept and menu of Biologie.

• Chef Nina Tarasova, who has over ten years of experience in gastronomy and was trained in France, often represents the country at various international festivals and forums. During her visit to the resort, Nina Tarasova will create festive desserts to accompany special meals, including a dinner with guest chef Ekaterina Alyokhina and a seafood, sushi and sake tasting dinner at Saoke.

• Dr. Sanket Yadahalli, who works with leading luxury resorts, wellness centers and sports clinics, will help relieve chronic muscle tension, back and joint pain, stress, sleep disorders, digestive and hormonal imbalances during one-on-one therapy sessions. She will also lead a session of Trataka meditation, an ancient practice that takes you on a transformational journey of self-discovery to improve focus, mental clarity and inner peace.

• Fitness trainer Gaia Pagnini has a fundamental education in the field of physiology. Her approach takes into account the individual needs, goals and concerns of her clients. Gaia’s passion for fitness and healthy living has led her to collaborate with Technogym and Barry’s Bootcamp. The trainer will create personalized training plans for guests and host a variety of events, including Boot Camp by Gaia and a Core & Balance Masterclass.
