Celebrations of Lunar New Year resume at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort
A Lunar New Year celebrations program is also being encouraged by the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort for its guests and visitors in celebrating the Lunar New Year from 16 to 19 February 2026, marking the year of the Horse.
With the picturesque surroundings of Raa Atoll as a backdrop, the resort’s celebration of the Lunar New Year seamlessly merges traditions of the past with the realities of living in the present through shared experiences of creativity, indulgence, and togetherness over these four days.
Celebrations kick off on 16 February with Lunar New Year Cocktail at Café Umi Beach, and then followed by Lunar New Year Gala Beach Dinner, which comes with signature elements of Lunar New Year-special cuisine, seafood, and performances that include Lion Dance and Fire Show under the Maldivian night sky.
Food experiences remain at the heart of the event, with theme dinners and wine tastings planned in keeping with the essence of the season. These include wine dinner journeys, a reunion dinner, a seafood dinner at Fish Market, and an Asian BBQ pop-up buffet dinner, where customers have ample chances to come together in celebration.
Well-being will also take center stage, with restorative experiences that encourage balance. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy signature spa experiences, local sound healing, or fitness offerings. As part of festivities, a somatic practitioner will be available to provide mind-body well-being assistance.
There will be entertainment and cultural performances daily, such as ribbon and fan performances, umbrella shows, fire performances, as well as an entire day of island games, aptly named the Olympic Island games. Younger guests will have the chance to participate in workshops, while those with artistic expressions can attend resin art workshops conducted by the resort’s artist.
Further, the resort also provides relaxed festivals available all through the festival period, such as the lunar new year cocktail and shisha services available in select locations, which entitle the guests to enjoy the festivals at relaxed times.
