Three islands. One celebration. Carnival of the Isles returns to Sun Siyam Olhuveli Maldives this festive season

This December, Sun Siyam Olhuveli, part of the Lifestyle Collection by Sun Siyam, is turning three interconnected islands into one vibrant celebration as Carnival of the Isles returns from 21 December 2026 to 8 January 2027. Bringing together world-class entertainment, island culture and unforgettable experiences, this year's line-up is headlined by BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra's Jeremiah Asiamah, alongside returning British Rapper & DJ Ironik, Canadian Bellydancer Nourah, and LA-Based Performance Company Wildfire Arts.

Created exclusively for Sun Siyam Olhuveli, Carnival of the Isles reimagines the festive season through the vibrant lens of island life. More than a holiday programme, it transforms the resort into one continuous celebration where music, culture, food and adventure unfold across three unique islands, each with its own atmosphere yet connected through one unforgettable experience. From sunrise wellness sessions and family adventures to waterfront celebrations, beach clubs and after-dark entertainment, guests are invited to discover a festive escape that feels spontaneous, social and unmistakably Maldivian.
