Nine divine years of this exquisite island paradise in Lhaviyani Atoll… Fushifaru Maldives gears up to celebrate its ninth anniversary this October with a special programme of experiences taking place from 20 to 24 October 2026, culminating in the resort’s official anniversary celebration on 24 October.

Over the past nine years, Fushifaru has established itself as an award-winning boutique resort in The Maldives known for its intimate barefoot island atmosphere, personalised service, rich Maldivian character and memorable guest experiences.

To mark the occasion, the resort has created a programme designed to bring guests, team members and the island community together in true #FeelingFantastic spirit. Celebrations will begin with Bodukakka–Guest Chef Challenge, inviting guests to team up with Fushifaru’s culinary team for a friendly cooking competition inspired by local flavours. Guests can also take part in a SUP Race around the island, with the winner receiving a romantic sandbank dinner for two.

Guests will also witness Fushifaru’s connection to the natural environment through Coral Planting and Guided Snorkelling, offering guests the opportunity to contribute to marine conservation while exploring the island’s underwater world.

The celebrations will culminate on 24 October with Fushifaru’s official 9th Anniversary Celebration, bringing together guests and the Fushifaru team for an evening dedicated to nine years of memories, friendships and exceptional experiences. The milestone reflects Fushifaru’s continued focus on creating meaningful and authentic Maldivian experiences while building lasting relationships with guests from around the world.

Meyyafushi will celebrate its first anniversary from 1 to 3 November 2026 with a three-day programme of wellness, gastronomy, entertainment, culture and meaningful island experiences.

The anniversary marks an important milestone for the five-star Premium All-Inclusive resort, which has spent its first year welcoming guests to experience its distinctive combination of contemporary luxury, immersive dining, recreation and connection. To celebrate, Meyyafushi has curated a programme showcasing some of the resort’s most memorable experiences.

The festivities will begin with a serene Sunrise Floating Sound Bath at the Sky Lounge, offering guests a peaceful start to the celebrations, a Golden Cocktail Hour and Gala Dinner await in the evening, followed by a vibrant Glow in the Dark Grand Party.

The second day will focus on both sustainability and gastronomy. Guests will be invited to join a Coral Planting Journey, supporting the resort’s marine conservation efforts and pillar of kindness #KindnesstotheEnvironment, followed by an exclusive four-course Dinner with Chef Wout Bru, a renowned Belgian Michelin-starred chef.

On the final day, guests can enjoy a refined Wine & Charcuterie Tasting Experience at overwater Wine Cellar Raa, before the celebrations conclude with a Cultural Show and Bonfire, bringing together music, tradition and the relaxed spirit of island life.
