Published

on

Jumeirah Vittaveli is set to be the perfect place to celebrate Easter with your family this year.

Imagine being flown on a private seaplane 100km away from Male for the world’s most exclusive dinner or celebrating with the family at the resort’s Zootopia party.

World’s most exclusive dinner

For USD 500,000, guests can indulge in a gourmet journey beyond compare! A personal butler will pick guests up from their home country where they will enjoy the resort’s new check-in at home service. A private jet will then wait for them for a luxurious transfer to the Maldives, followed by a private yacht transfer to Jumeirah Vittaveli.

From the resort, a private seaplane will whisk guests to an untouched atoll where they will savour an exclusive dinner prepared by Michelin-starred Chef Ollie Dabbous on location for them. The night will be spent star-gazing from the deck of their very own luxury yacht.

The experience also includes a five-night stay in one of Jumeirah Vittaveli’s new Infinity Pool Ocean Villas, before a private jet will carry guests home, enriched with precious memories of their Maldivian escape.

Family fun at Easter

Families looking to spend Easter in style can relax on powder white beaches and swim in crystal clear waters before celebrating with the kids at the resort’s Zootopia party. Children can get creative and paint Easter Eggs with the Kuda Koli Kids Club team, feast on doughnuts, cotton candy and lollipops or dress up as a character from Zootopia and hunt for the Golden Egg. On Easter Sunday, keep a look out for the Easter bunny too.

Michelin starred experiences

Foodies will love the exclusive curated wine dinners hosted by London HIDE’s Chef Ollie. From April 19-24, Chef Ollie will cook at both Cuvée, the resort’s wine library, and Fenesse, the French fine dining restaurant. And for those who fancy a more exquisite experience, how about a sunset champagne cruise with canapes before enjoying an intimate dinner onboard?

“We delight our guests by creating special memories. A one-of-a-kind dining experience on a virgin island in a remote atoll with Chef Ollie is another highlight on our path to exceed guest expectations. I am thrilled to have Ollie on-board who will make this gourmet dream a reality,” Amit Majumder, General Manager at Jumeirah Vittaveli, was quoted in a statement, as saying.

‘Bunnies Gone Wild’ becomes bold, Playboy-inspired Easter celebration at Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort

Published

on

Mercure Maldives Kooddoo has taken a daring new direction with its Easter 2025 celebrations, turning up the volume on its already provocative theme, Bunnies Gone Wild. Originally teased as a playful adults-only experience, the event has now evolved into a Playboy-inspired celebration; one that invites guests to explore a new kind of freedom, sensuality, and self-expression unlike anything the Maldives has seen before.

The resort had previously announced a week-long Easter program filled with lively entertainment, decadent dining, and themed poolside events. But in a bold, creative shift, Mercure Maldives Kooddoo has reimagined the entire atmosphere of the event, bringing in a seductive flair inspired by the iconic Playboy lifestyle. While still rooted in elegance and good taste, the newly enhanced program introduces elements of glamour, boldness, and a touch of provocation, transforming the experience into something much more than just a holiday celebration.

This is no longer just an Easter event, it is a curated escape for adults who want to feel free to explore, indulge, and enjoy themselves without limits. The Playboy-inspired twist lets Mercure Maldives create that fantasy in a tasteful yet thrilling way. It’s something never seen in the Maldives before.

Throughout the week, guests can expect seductive details woven into every moment, from cheeky in-villa surprises and risqué gift boxes to elevated versions of the resort’s experiences, such as the Bunnies Gone Wild pool party, late-night DJ gatherings, and mixology sessions that now come with a flirtatious edge.

This new direction doesn’t just change the look and feel of the Easter season, it reframes what kind of stories a Maldivian holiday can tell. Guests are invited to step into a space where fun is fearless, self-expression is celebrated, and the lines between luxury and playfulness are delightfully blurred.

Wellness and relaxation still play an essential role, with sound healing, yoga, and Watsu sessions offering guests balance amidst the vibrant energy. But even these moments are being approached with an intimacy and mood that reflect the deeper themes of connection and freedom.

With this final reveal of its enhanced Easter program, Mercure Maldives Kooddoo positions itself at the forefront of creative resort storytelling in the Maldives. By daring to do what others wouldn’t, it promises not just a stay, but an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
