Vibrant, intimate Eid al-Adha celebration at THE OZEN COLLECTION
Eid al-Adha is a time for prayer and exuberant celebrations. This festive season, THE OZEN COLLECTION curates an assortment of exclusive experiences to fill guests’ day with good vibes and soul-touching peace of Eid al-Adha.
In keeping with the resorts’ drenched-in-natural-beauty spirit, the day will see plenty of powdered colour to play with, beachfront games and ocean excursions, a feast of local and international delicacies, and pleasing Arabic melodies to set the mood.
Expansive white beaches and secluded villas offer an ideal setting for a memorable Eid al-Adha celebration holiday.

Elegant Eid escapes at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI
Paint Bolifushi island red, yellow, blue, and every other hue of happiness. An exciting Eid experience awaits guests at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI – elevated with a touch of sophistication.
A Carnival of Colours with bright colours to play with on the beach kicks off the evening on a lively note. In Maldivian culture, islanders apply these fun natural colour powders to each other as a part of Eid festivities.
Next on the fun roster is a beloved Maldivian tradition, Koadi Kendun (cutting down of a wooden stick). Koadi is a wooden stick crafted from a coconut palm and decorated with palm leaves. Join islanders as they dance around the Koadi. A playful game of the men trying to pull down the Koadi from a tree while women protect it adds to the fun.
The celebrations continue with three Signature Eid Mocktails to match the stunning Maldivian sunset views.

A Saffron Peach Colada reimagines the classic tropical cocktail with a touch of saffron adorned with a fruit and ice ball. An inspired take on Sangria builds upon fresh fruit chunks and flavour infusions to match the festivities. Smoky Magic, a gourmet take on an apple-inspired creation, marries smoked apple, ginger, caramel, and lime.
Conclude with a Gala Eid Dinner at Vista Del Mar.

Eid Majaa at OZEN LIFE MAADHOO
