The resort’s culinary journey begins with a special Eid-themed market night on 31 March at the Glow Restaurant. This signature event will showcase an array of Middle Eastern delicacies, brought to life at live cooking stations where guests can enjoy the rich flavours and aromas of the region. Beyond this celebration, guests can enjoy intimate sunset gatherings on the resort’s Sunset Pier, where curated canapés and refreshing beverages are served in a serene majlis-style setting. Daily moments of indulgence continue at the oceanfront café, where Arabic teas and traditional sweet treats are enjoyed against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.
Guests are also invited to engage with the cultural spirit of Eid through creative expression at the MURACA Art Studio. Here, visitors can design hand-painted Eid candles or craft ceramic keepsakes inspired by traditional Islamic motifs offering meaningful souvenirs that capture the joy and significance of the season.
Wellness remains central to the Eid programming at Jumeirah Olhahali Island. The Talise Spa welcomes the return of visiting practitioner Yoko, a specialist in auriculotherapy, Japanese Usui Reiki, and aromatherapy. Her therapies, which combine the use of pure essential oils with intuitive healing techniques, are designed to relieve stress, restore energy balance, and encourage personal renewal. Complimentary wellness sessions include Japanese Reiki meditation and ear stretching yoga, while personalised aroma-auriculotherapy sessions provide targeted treatments to address specific wellness goals such as relaxation, vitality, or mental clarity. In addition, guests can participate in hands-on self-care workshops, including the creation of traditional Maldivian coconut scrubs, or take part in calming aqua meditation sessions set in the gentle embrace of the resort’s lagoon.
This Eid, Jumeirah Olhahali Island invites travellers to slow down, share special moments, and experience the beauty of the Maldives in harmony with the traditions of the season.
