In this article
Six Senses Laamu in Laamu Atoll has published two festive programmes for 2026–27: "Quiet Wonders" for adults and "Wonders for Little VIPs" for children. Both run from 23 December 2026 to 3 January 2027, with something new on the calendar every day.
The festive dates
23 December: a Maldivian cultural beach dinner at Sip Sip, full moon yoga with a fire ceremony, and stargazing on the SHELL rooftop.
24 December: Christmas Eve cocktails on Sip Sip Beach, then Christmas Eve dinner at Longitude.
25 December: a Santa surf session in the morning (timing depends on the waves), Christmas dinner at Leaf with Chef Gihan, an Asian street market at Longitude and a film at the Jungle Cinema.
30 December: the SHELL-ebration on SHELL Beach and a second Maldivian cultural beach dinner.
31 December: New Year's Eve cocktails on Sip Sip Beach, then dinner at Longitude.
Dining
Lunches rotate through the fortnight: Chef Yupin's Thai beach stalls, Chef Isa's sandwich shack, tacos and margaritas, a poke bar and a salad bar at Sip Sip. In the evenings there is a lobster beach barbecue (28 December), the Laamu Tuna Experience (26 December and 2 January), an Italian night, a Mediterranean street market, and Indian Night at Longitude on 28 December and 3 January. Whiskey and chocolate pairings run at the Chill Bar on 23 and 30 December.
On the water
Each morning brings a different water sport to try: X-Jetblade, Seabob, a jet surfboard, an e-foil, wakeboarding and waterskiing, and introductions to catamaran sailing and windsurfing. Deep Blue Divers runs an underwater scooter trip to a pinnacle on 24 December and 3 January, and there is a "meet the mermaid" house reef snorkel on 28 December. Turtle safaris, dolphin cruises, morning fishing, guided seagrass snorkelling and mangrove kayaking in Hithadhoo can be booked on other days.
Wellness
Visiting practitioner Dr Ana Mattos leads a morning vitality session on Christmas Day and offers osteopathy and a manual facelift treatment. Around her run floating sound healing, stand-up paddle yoga, facial yoga, a breathing class, a couples' head massage workshop and a crystal workshop.
For children and teens
The Den, the resort's kids' club, runs activities every day from 10:00 through to 17:00, followed most evenings by Little VIPs Cinema under the Stars. Highlights include Santa's visit at Longitude on Christmas morning, a gingerbread house competition, sushi making, a Maldivian cooking class, chocolate making, a kids' fishing trip and a children's dolphin cruise. Children under three must be with a parent or babysitter, and babysitters can be arranged.
For older children, PADI Bubble Maker (ages 8 to 9) and Discover Scuba for teens (13 to 19) run every other afternoon. The Junior Marine Biology Program (7 to 12) is taught by the Maldives Underwater Initiative team at SHELL, the resort's marine centre, for children who are comfortable snorkelling.
What it means for your stay
Laamu is a 65-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, and seaplanes fly in daylight only, so you need to land at Velana by about 15:00 to reach the island the same day. A domestic flight and speedboat can be arranged for later arrivals. Over the festive fortnight, send us your flight times before you book. Most activities need a reservation; once you are booked, the resort's guest experience team can hold places for you.
Our Six Senses Laamu review covers the island, the villas and the surf in more detail.
