Amilla Maldives welcomed the New Year with “Around the World in Wonder,” a globally inspired celebration beneath the Maldivian night sky.

The evening began with Around the World in a Glass, a beachfront cocktail journey showcasing flavours from across the globe. A gourmet dinner buffet followed under the stars, with each dish reflecting Amilla’s signature culinary artistry. During the celebration, Morgan Martinello, General Manager of Amilla Maldives, addressed guests with a warm welcome, sharing words of gratitude and reflection to set the tone for the night.

The main stage, set over the pool, became the heart of the evening, bringing together an international line-up of performers. World rhythms flowed throughout the night with DJ Elaiva, vibrant saxophone interludes by Sharif, and live sets from Australia’s Hamilton Band. Visual theatre unfolded as acrobats, aerialists, and fire-led performances by Fiesta Creations created stunning displays of movement and light, while cultural dance moments invited guests to join in. Sid, the emcee, guided the celebration with warmth and charm.

As midnight approached, the Hamilton Band led the countdown, with fireworks illuminating the lagoon and creating a dazzling finale to the evening’s performances. The celebration continued into the early hours at Tessera, where DJ Kushan kept the rhythm alive, allowing guests to move seamlessly between music, conversation, and quiet moments by the sea.

Amilla Maldives’ Around the World in Wonder offered immersive, elegant, and personalised luxury, delivering an experience defined by connection, discovery, and island magic.
