In this article
Six Senses Kanuhura in Lhaviyani Atoll has published its festive programme for 2026–27. It runs from 21 December 2026 to 7 January 2027 under the theme "The Art of Coming Together", with something on the calendar for every age most days.
The festive dates
21 December: tree lighting and a toast to open the season.
24 December: a Christmas Eve soirée with a beach barbecue dinner, and a Christmas dive.
25 December: a family festive feast, and Santa arrives at the kids' club.
31 December: a beach barbecue and a party through midnight.
6 January: an Orthodox Christmas communal feast.
Guest chefs and dinners
Three one-night dinners stand out: Tokyo Omakase with Chef Hotaka on 26 December, Little Italy with Chef Andrea on 28 December, and a blindfold dinner with Chef Oğuzhan on 4 January. Around them run Tacos Tuesday, a maguro kaitai tuna-cutting show, The Fisherman's Table and a wine and cheese pairing. Chef Suranga leads a chocolate truffle workshop on 30 December.
On the water
The turtle safari runs on 21, 24, 26 and 28 December and on 4 and 6 January. There is also nurse shark snorkelling, night and adventure snorkelling, sunset dolphin cruises, sunset fishing and a sunset cruise on the resort's Aquila 42. Private charters can be arranged.
Wellness
Daily yoga, Pilates and meditation, plus spa workshops at the Alchemy Bar. Visiting practitioner Meghan Martin offers osteopathy and breathwork from 15 December 2026 to 15 January 2027.
For children
The Neverland kids' club runs a daily programme of crafts, games and beach activities, with pizza making at Bottega, a turtle discovery session and a kids' talent show on 30 December. Families can also join the hands-on workshops: coconut leaf weaving, Christmas card making, glass melting, wind chimes and coconut oil.
What it means for your stay
Kanuhura is a 40-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, and seaplanes fly in daylight only, so an evening landing means a night in Malé before you reach the island. Over the festive fortnight that night matters, so send us your flight times before you book. Several activities need a reservation; once you are booked, the resort's guest experience team can hold places for you.
Tell us your dates and we will check availability and send you a costing for the festive period: holidays@360degreeworld.com.
