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.
