This is a  family Christmas holiday with a tropical twist. Nothing screams Christmas holiday like meeting Santa  Claus in high spirits. Under the tropical winter sun of Kodhipparu, the resort opens up a world of  outdoor opportunities for young explorers to embark on this holiday. From Mini-Olympics to exciting  scavenger hunts and reindeer sleigh rides on the ocean, Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives’ Christmas  wonderland is every kid’s tropical dream. Parents can sit back and let the elves at the kids’ club create  magic for the whole family.  

For the more sophisticated traveller, there will be plenty of wine pairing and degustation dinners mixed  with soulful and melty jazz performances. New Year’s Eve will be an event to look forward. A sensation  Breeze Pool Bar party is in prep with full steam ahead, with a stylish countdown, spectacular fireworks,  world-class live DJ entertainment and a fashionable Gala Dinner Event. The days in between will be  balmy and sensational with culinary & mixologists masterclasses, massage lessons, aura reading  sessions and complimentary aqua yoga, or circuit training based on each guest’s tastes, to make this  festive holiday at Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives, a celebration with incredible moments in time.
