Maldives.net.mv – The upcoming Festive Season at Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives will offer a wonderful array of events and joyful experiences. Between 23 December 2013 and 02 January 2014, Christmas and New Year celebrations will have something for all ages to enjoy.

In addition to the many repeat guests from previous years, the first timers will also be wowed and welcomed by the many Laamu experiences.

Some of the Holiday highlights include:

A Sandbank BBQ, for a romantic escape and unique dining experience. After a romantic sunset boat ride to the resort’s sandbank and a sunset cocktail, hosts will discretely serve a specially prepared menu for two accompanied with a bottle of champagne

New Years’ Eve Party on Sunset Beach has DJ Vifak on the decks ! He invites everyone to dance to his beat and get ready for the New Year countdown! We raise our glasses and bid farewell to the old year and welcome a bright 2014.

Resident DJ Garry Tee will be setting the mood with tunes inspired by the incandescence of the sunset, creating special music moments for our guests, every evening at Chill Bar.

For some very personal relaxation, the Six Senses Spa hosts have put together a sequence of wellness and fitness activities in addition to the comprehensive Spa treatment menu. A wide range of classes, from yingyang yoga to movida fitness will be held daily in the Spa. For those who simply wish to soak up the spa journey, the options of treatments are plenty, with local specialties, signature treatments, ayuverdic and many more.

Adventures and activities have being planned for younger guests, giving them the opportunity to be creative and learn while having fun. Pirates will be invading the island and taking young guests on a raid, while a Christmas stocking snorkelling treasure hunt at the house reef is not to be missed.

Festive Season is about family and friends so family excursions to nearby islands will be coordinated, giving the chance to enjoy a real Robinson Crusoe experience. Guests will have an island for themselves for a day, including a delicious picnic lunch and refreshments. There are many more underwater and overwater adventures planned for everyone no matter what age, plus a few sports activities with the resort’s hosts.

DJ Garry Tee is considered the finest DJ around, by the cool crowds from places like Sydney and Kuala Lumpur. His creative blend of favourite tracks creates a unique music experience. Garry’s compilations include the best of his personally selected tunes, from an ambient composition inspired by the pure vibration of time to the beatific and romantically inspired bossanova.

Or perhaps toe tapping to the latest of cocktail hour beats to the occasional surprise trip down one’s personal music memory lane.

DJ Vifak spins a soundtrack of his chart-topping playlist along with the sound of the waves on the beach! He grew up in Maldives and since 2000 he has been pumping up parties from the white sandy beaches and resorts to international clubs. His love for music makes his mixing smoothly run over different music styles. Influenced by the surrounding lush nature of his home he added a soulful twist to his sets, which set the key for soon sharing the decks with legendary names like Claude Challe, Jose Padilla and DJ Ravin.
