Where to bring in the New Year in the Maldives

If the hottest question of the season hasn’t come around yet, it soon will: “So, what’re your plans for the New Year?” Your folks must be jet-setting to exotic locations, making reservations for the parties everyone’s talking about—in a club or on a cruise. But in case you’re in the mood for something different, something more serene, something that wears off the worries of the year gone by, choose to steer clear of the crowds and make your way to an idyllic island. And what better place than the Maldives could that be!

A tropical retreat awaits
Like a pearl in the ocean, Velaa Private Island in Noonu Atoll is surrounded by nothing but the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean. Its elegant, well-appointed villas are made using natural materials and colours, and thereby complement the pristine surroundings of the archipelago. Every morning itself is therapeutic to the eyes—you wake up to the soft sea breeze, watch the palm trees sway, and watch the sun rays kiss the sand. How else would you choose to celebrate the beginning of a new beginning?

Pamper yourself
For a befitting start to the year, cleanse your mind, body and spirit of the stresses from the past. Head to the on-property spa and immerse yourself in an Asian-inspired treatment—ayurveda, yoga and meditation—or better still, create your own bespoke experience during the duration of your stay. Thereafter, park yourself at one of the many dining venues for some experiential dining: Southeast Asian and Teppan grill at Tavaru, European delicacies at the overwater Aragu or traditional Maldivian flavours at Athiri restaurant. Could your present be any better, you ask? While you’re at it, don’t forget to raise a toast to what lies ahead, too. A happy new year, indeed.
