Marriott Offers Sun‑Soaked Festive Escape in the Maldives

Monday 18th of August 2025

As festive season arrives, the Maldives becomes a dreamy sanctuary of golden sunlight and turquoise waters—a perfect backdrop for slow moments and living in the present. With time on island time, personal connections, warmth, and renewal take centre stage. This year, Marriott Bonvoy’s private island resorts invite advance planners to gift themselves the island escape of a lifetime through the limited‑time Festive Early Bird offer.

Available to book until 15 October 2025 and valid for stays from 15 December 2025 to 10 January 2026, the offer includes oceanfront villa stays in picture‑perfect settings, daily breakfast, resort credits, seasonal festivities and non‑motorized water sports—without adding imaginary details. It’s a simple gesture: step away from everyday life for an island holiday that sparkles with barefoot luxury.

In North and South Malé Atoll, island-hopping by speedboat unveils two festive havens. At The Ritz‑Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, guests can bask in a Celestial Festive Escape. Mornings begin with breakfast at La Locanda before days unfold with gourmet indulgence, topped with sunset toasts or spa treatments at The Ritz‑Carlton’s Spa. A personal ‘Aris Meeha’ butler ensures every moment flows with ease, while the calm lagoon invites exploration with complimentary non‑motorized water sports.

Meanwhile at JW Marriott Maldives Kaafu Atoll Island Resort, the Festive Early Bird package introduces the island’s very first season of celebration. After breakfast at Veyo, guests can use resort credit toward a private beach dinner under the stars, a soothing spa treatment, or a serene sunset cruise. Non‑motorized water sports encourage playful days, and attentive 'Safeeru' service adds a touch of mindful luxury. Beyond the shore, guests may snorkel with vibrant marine life or spot playful dolphins, and a professional photographer captures holiday memories to last, while thoughtful service ensures all runs smoothly.

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa opens its shores to families seeking sun, sand, and celebration. Framed by tropical gardens and soft sands, the resort presents a convivial holiday with meals across a variety of venues, including specialty dining at Baan Thai or Sea Salt using dining credits. Fresh juices and aromatic coffees enhance each meal, and children under twelve dine free with adults. Shared speedboat transfers ease arrivals, and days offer paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling or tennis. A spa treatment gift of 15 percent off rounds out this spirited family escape.

In the tranquil Dhaalu and Shaviyani Atolls, understated luxury unfolds. At The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, the Exquisite Festive Retreat includes breakfast at ALBA and daily credit for culinary, spa or wine‑centric experiences. Guests can explore the lagoon via non‑motorized water sports or relax in the discreet care of signature St. Regis butlers, prioritizing seamless festive ease.

At JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa in Shaviyani Atoll, the Festive Splendor package brings multigenerational families together in peaceful style. Breakfast at Aailaa joins free‑time with resort credits for romantic beach dinners or spa rituals. Non‑motorized water sports create island play, while the JW Little Griffins Kids Club entertains younger guests with over a hundred activities. A photography session preserves holiday magic, while personalized butler service enhances every moment.

Heading toward the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, W Maldives showcases its playful Festive Favors package. A house reef brimming with marine life lies just beyond the villa deck. Guests enjoy breakfast at KITCHEN and leisurely meals across bold venues. Daily credits invite temptation at the AWAY Spa or for an oceanic adventure. A castaway evening with sunset cocktails on Gaathafushi private island adds eccentric flair between festive indulgences.

At The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, also in Baa Atoll, the Celebrate Festive early bird package leans into wellness. Guests move up from breakfast to half board, children under twelve stay and dine free, and spa treatments come with a 20 percent discount. Days invite kayaking across serene waters, photo sessions, and wellness activities through the resort’s recharging programs. Families leave feeling renewed and more closely connected.

Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa in Lhaviyani Atoll offers an eco-conscious festive season by the waves. Guests enjoy breakfast and can apply daily credits toward spa treatments, beachside lunches or a glass of rosé. A holiday calendar brings festive joy to all ages, and from 16 to 21 December, padel clinics led by champion Juani Mieres elevate the fun. Crystal clear waters offer kayaking, paddling or snorkeling, and the finale of each day is a scoop of homemade Le Scoop sorbet—a sweet note to end memories of family, fun and sun.

Across these stunning escapes, Marriott Bonvoy invites travelers to exchange wintry chill for sun-warmed sands, simple luxury, and curated moments. With the Festive Early Bird offer, travelers can secure a future filled with barefoot luxury, gentle time, and meaningful celebration.
