Alila Kothaifaru Maldives presents Tides of Wonder for Christmas and New Year 2026

This festive season, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives presents Tides of Wonder, a celebration that follows the changing rhythm of island life  from Christmas through the New Year and Orthodox Christmas.

Beginning on 21 December, the programme moves between the ocean, the table and  the island itself, with each day offering a different reason to linger. The season opens  with the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on Mirus Beach, followed by days of  dolphin cruises, reef encounters, Maldivian traditions, wellness rituals and family  experiences.
