Kuda Villingili Resort Maldives Welcomes the Year of the Horse with an Immersive Lunar New Year Celebration
Kuda Villingili Resort Maldives invites guests to celebrate the Lunar New Year with a four-day programme blending time-honoured traditions with the luxury of island living. Now in its fifth consecutive year, the festivities reflect the resort’s philosophy of Time & Space Redefined, creating meaningful moments for families, couples, and multigenerational travellers alike.
Set against the turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean, Kuda Villingili offers a refined sanctuary for the festive season, anchored by its collection of expansive Beach and Water Villas with private pools. Elevated above the lagoon, the Water Villas provide uninterrupted ocean views and complete privacy—an idyllic setting to welcome a year symbolising strength, freedom, and vitality.
Culinary experiences take centre stage throughout the celebrations. Guests can enjoy an array of dining options across the island, including East, the resort’s signature Asian restaurant, where bold flavours and contemporary interpretations honour the richness of Asian cuisine. Lunar festivities continue with Wansuk Hot Pot, designed for convivial sharing, and Teppanyaki by Mar-Umi, where live culinary theatrics transform dining into an engaging family experience. The programme culminates with a Lunar New Year Gala Dinner, complemented by sunset cocktails and vibrant cultural performances inspired by Chinese heritage.
Beyond gastronomy, the island comes alive with festive entertainment and immersive activities. Traditional lion and dragon dances, cultural performances, and live shows create a celebratory rhythm across the resort, while Kuda Fiyo Kids Club offers a thoughtfully curated schedule of crafts, games, movie nights, and themed activities, ensuring younger guests experience the magic of the Lunar New Year in playful and meaningful ways.
Guests may also enrich their stay with Kuda Villingili’s diverse island experiences—from floating breakfasts in private villa pools and bespoke dining under the stars to wellness rituals including spa therapies, yoga, fitness sessions, and private sound healing. For those seeking adventure, excursions across the North Malé Atoll, sunset dhoni cruises, and adrenaline-filled watersports and diving experiences with MSTS provide unforgettable ways to explore the surrounding natural beauty.
