Becky Hill to Headline Siyam World Maldives' First-Ever New Year's Extravanganza
Newly opened resort gamechanger Siyam World, Maldives is gearing up for a first-ever festive season packed with memorable island escapades.

Newly opened resort gamechanger Siyam World, Maldives is gearing up for a first-ever festive season packed with memorable island escapades – including a dazzling array of ‘Global Thrills and World Adventures’-themed celebrations; DJ set by celebrity duo Mel Blatt and Jaime Winstone; and an exclusive headline performance by British singer and songwriter, Becky Hill. Over the course of Siyam World’s blockbusting festive fortnight, guests will find themselves transported into the worlds of some of the greatest and most exhilarating TV and movie hits of all times, from Peaky Blinders and James Bond to Money Heist and The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine.

Becky Hill will ring in the New Year with an exclusive headline performance. She is a British singer and songwriter from Bewdley. She rose to prominence after appearing on the first series of The Voice UK, auditioning with John Legend’s “Ordinary People”. In early 2021, Becky Hill released the singles “Last Time” and “Remember” with David Guetta. They peaked at number thirty-nine and number three respectively, the latter becoming Hill’s fourth top-ten hit. Celebrity DJ duo, All Saints star Mel Blatt and actor Jaime Winstone will then take to the decks to keep the dancefloor going with a show-stopping set of party anthems.

The festive season kicks off with an eye-popping array of sports activities and contests, including football, volleyball and tennis competitions, fun family games and challenges that really release the inner child and create bonds with fellow festive guests. Kids are also invited to participate in a range of activities from fashion shows, mermaid masterclasses and mocktail-making, to coral planting, coconut bowling, t-shirt tie-dying, and of course meeting Santa.

Evenings will be full steam ahead with themes including The Beatles’ psychedelic adventure ‘Yellow Submarine’, and a sophisticated and suave 007 Christmas cocktail beach party. Guests will also be treated to a Christmas Day brunch and an array of festive gala menus at the resort’s restaurants, from Asian fusion at The Wahoo Grill and Mediterranean at Andalucía, to Lobster & Champagne dinners and wine and cheese nights. The celebrations start early on the last day of 2021, with Shelby’s private pool party – by order of The Peaky Blinders!

Guests can make a splash at the Indian Ocean’s biggest floating water park with the Siyam Water World Warrior challenge, as well as unlimited access and numerous water-based activities to keep everyone entertained and active throughout the season. Think fun parkour challenges, banana boat rides, beach parties and funky sounds played by the resort’s resident DJs. Exuberant adults meanwhile can live their best lives at Siyam World’s epic beach pool and foam parties, or get wet and wild with exhilarating seabob rides, electric jet surfing, flyboarding, snorkelling and diving at the resort’s watersports centre, Shipwrecked.

With global thrills and world adventures, we are excited to welcome guests for our first festive season at Siyam World and looking forward to delivering an unforgettable holiday experience for everyone.

Visit Maldives Partners with Indian Filmmaker Farah Khan to Present Maldives’ Island Life in Festive Spirit

Farah Khan collaborates with MMPRC / Visit Maldives

Renowned Indian film director and choreographer, and producer, Farah Khan recently spent a few unforgettable days in the Maldives, soaking up island culture and joining in the vibrant spirit of Eid al-Adha. She visited the country from June 5 to June 8, 2025, as part of a special cultural collaboration that Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC/Visit Maldives) organised to highlight the nation’s rich local traditions and engage Indian audiences during one of its most cherished celebrations.

Farah Khan’s Trip to the Maldives

Best known for her larger-than-life Bollywood choreography and hit films, Farah Khan has also built a strong reputation as a popular television personality. With more than 13 million followers across her social media platforms, she connects deeply with Indian and South Asian families, especially those planning leisure travel. Her broad appeal made her the ideal figure to bring attention to the Maldives’ cultural charm.

As part of the summer 2025 destination marketing campaign, Farah Khan stayed at the luxury resort Sun Siyam Olhuveli, and Arena Beach Maldives, a popular hotel on Maafushi Island. She experienced both the peaceful elegance of the islands and the genuine warmth of their local communities. A combination that defines the Maldives’ distinct character.

What did the collaboration involve?

Farah didn’t visit just to relax. Alongside her five-member crew, she came to the Maldives to film a special series of content pieces focused on everyday island life during Eid. She will soon release a full YouTube vlog and other engaging content to give viewers an up-close and personal look at the Maldives beyond its famous luxury resorts and postcard beaches.

During the Eid al-Adha festivities, Farah joined in the cultural celebrations by wearing the traditional red Dhivehi libaas, a moment captured on video and shared by MMPRC. In that video, she delivered heartfelt Eid wishes on behalf of India to the people of the Maldives, adding a warm, personal gesture to the collaboration.

Why does this campaign matter?

Visit Maldives continues to team up with well-known and relatable public figures to reach key international markets. India remains one of the Maldives’ top tourism source markets, and by partnering with someone as familiar and trusted as Farah Khan, the destination strengthens its visibility and appeal for Indian travellers.

By blending luxurious experiences with cultural richness, this campaign paints a full picture of what the Maldives offers, especially during meaningful moments like Eid.

What content can viewers look forward to?

  • A YouTube vlog that documents Farah Khan’s Eid journey in the Maldives
  • Short-form video content that showcases:
    • Local island celebrations during Eid Al-Adha
    • Cultural exchanges and real community life
    • The unique combination of tradition and hospitality in the Maldives
    • A deeper look at the destination beyond five-star resorts

This campaign speaks directly to travellers looking for more than just a beach escape. And with Farah Khan guiding the experience, audiences can expect a warm, vibrant, and culturally rich window into the soul of the Maldives.
