Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island presents ‘The Symphony of Love’ this February
Nestled in the tranquil embrace of North Malé Atoll, Jumeirah Maldives Olhahali Island invites couples to celebrate the month of love with its exclusive ‘The Symphony of Love’ programme. This collection of experiences seamlessly weaves together spa indulgences, gastronomic delights, adventure escapes, and artistic expressions, resonating with the stunning Maldivian surroundings.
Harmony of Bonds at Talise Spa
Discover the harmony of bonds at the resort’s renowned Talise Spa. The ‘Space for Togetherness’ package is a sensorial delight, offers a 60-minute spa treatment, a 30-minute aroma bath ritual, and a choice of a fruit platter or chocolate, accompanied by a mocktail or a glass of champagne. ‘Island of Romance’ experience indulges couples in a 30-minute full-body scrub, a 60-minute spa treatment, and a choice of culinary delights in a specially adorned ambiance. Culminating the wellness journey is the ‘Firumaalaa’ Couple’s Ritual — a moonlit beachside affair with a bespoke setup or at the private rooftop terrace of the villa, and a three-course intimate dinner.
Gastronomic Affair at the Heart of Romance
A floating tray in the villa’s pool, adorned with fragrant rose petals, fine wine, and a carefully curated breakfast menu sets the tone for a day filled with love. The resort’s ultra-spacious over water and beach villas become a canvas for the love birds to start their day in style. Alternatively, opt for a lagoon-side breakfast amidst a thoughtfully arranged beach lagoon setup. Escape to an intimate sandbank picnic mere minutes away from the island, featuring a gourmet picnic box lunch, premium wine, and a meticulously arranged setup for a relaxing afternoon. As the sun sets on 14th February, Shimmers Beach hosts an exquisite dinner with Valentine-themed beachside tables, a welcoming glass of rosé, live musical notes, and a four-course chef’s selection.
Olhahali’s Everlasting Love Escapades
The adventure at Jumeriah Maldives Olhahali Island unfolds with a romantic private sunset cruise, offering a serene voyage accompanied by canapés and a bottle of champagne. Elevating the island treat is a two-hour expedition on a secluded sandbank, complemented by a refreshing coconut juice or selected soft drinks. On the evening of 16th February, couples have the opportunity to enjoy handcrafted cocktails while glancing through a romantic artisan street market, showcasing one-of-a-kind artworks, crafted treasures, and artisanal crafts from local talents at the heart of the island. The pinnacle of romantic adventure is the ‘Eternal Love Adventure’ available from 14th to 16th February — an all-day experience featuring a floating or lagoon breakfast, a 60-minute couple’s massage, a sandbank picnic, sunset cruise with champagne, a romantic beachfront dinner, and a bubble bath accompanied by bites and bubbly to conclude the day.
Artful Love at MURACA Art Studio

Tailored Romance
