CROSSROADS Maldives Brought Traditional Culture and Luxury Together for Eid

Crossroads Maldives offered a unique Eid Al Fitr celebration blending traditional culture and modern luxury at its resorts

This Eid Al-Fitr, CROSSROADS Maldives offered a unique celebration, inviting visitors to enjoy the perfect blend of traditional Maldivian culture and modern luxury at its two world-class resorts: SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton and Hard Rock Hotel Maldives. The resort’s vibrant festivities created lasting memories for all, combining spiritual reflection with exciting entertainment in a stunning tropical setting.

A Festive Start to Eid: The Koadi Parade and Cultural Immersion

Eid Al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a time for deep reflection. CROSSROADS Maldives captured this spirit beautifully. First, the festivities began with the lively Koadi Parade, a grand procession starting at Sessions Beach at Hard Rock Hotel Maldives and making its way to SAii Beach Club. Guests watched in awe as Maali dancers, dressed in vibrant Maldivian attire, swayed to the rhythm of Boduberu drumming. This lively display brought the island’s cultural heritage to life, inviting both locals and visitors to join in the joyous celebration of tradition. Most importantly, the parade set the tone for the rest of the day’s events.

Unforgettable Experiences: Activities and Entertainment for All Ages

At SAii Beach Club, the resort kept guests entertained throughout the day with a variety of exciting activities. For instance, they participated in Aqua Zumba, Pool Volleyball, and Water Polo, enjoying the water-based events in a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere. Additionally, families gathered at the Family Pool Party, where lively music and entertainment created an upbeat atmosphere. Thrill-seekers, on the other hand, joined the Amazing Race Games, adding an adventurous touch to the day. As the evening approached, guests savored a delicious Eid buffet by the beach, all while listening to the soulful tunes of the V’Nez Band. The combination of flavors, music, and the beachside setting made for an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, it created a perfect ending to a day filled with fun and cultural immersion.

Across the bridge, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives added its unique energy to the celebrations. Guests took part in exciting pool games and refreshing Aqua Aerobics sessions. As night fell, they enjoyed the tranquil Eid Sundown Ritual, a moment of reflection as the sun set over the horizon. The evening, therefore, culminated with a sumptuous Seafood Buffet Dinner at Sessions, where live entertainment kept the festive mood alive well into the night.

A Complete Eid Experience: Market, Music, and Memories

On 4th April, the Marina@CROSSROADS hosted a lively Street Market. Guests explored a variety of stalls offering delicious food, refreshing drinks, unique art souvenirs, and more. The market created an inviting atmosphere for visitors to discover the vibrant culture of the Maldives and take home a special memento from their trip. As a result, it offered an enriching experience beyond the festivities at the resorts.

With its combination of cultural traditions, luxurious amenities, and engaging activities, CROSSROADS Maldives provided the ideal destination for a memorable Eid celebration. Guests created lasting memories, whether they sought spiritual reflection, thrilling adventures, or peaceful relaxation. Ultimately, the resort ensured an unforgettable Eid experience for everyone.

InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort - Emilia Métaireau

This summer, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with yourself. In celebration of International Yoga Day on June 21st, the resort hosts an immersive five-day yoga retreat from June 20th to 24th, guided by the highly experienced and respected yoga instructor Emilia Métaireau. With its serene surroundings, the retreat provides a peaceful sanctuary for wellness seekers to refresh their mind, body, and spirit while embracing the transformative power of yoga, meditation, and mindful movement.

A Mid-Summer Reset in Paradise

Held at an ideal time for a mid-summer reset, this retreat invites participants to rediscover their inner balance in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations. Surrounded by the Maldives’ crystal-clear waters, vibrant reefs, and unspoiled beauty, guests step away from their routines and focus on restoring their energy and clarity. Moreover, Emilia, whose teachings span over a decade and more than 2,500 hours of global experience, brings a grounded and expansive presence to the experience. She blends breathwork, ancient wisdom, and conscious movement, guiding each guest toward a deeper connection with themselves.

A Thoughtful and Immersive Daily Practice

The retreat begins each day with rejuvenating sunrise yoga, allowing guests to wake up and center themselves before embracing the day ahead. In the evenings, the focus shifts to calming rituals designed to soothe the body and still the mind. To enhance this immersive experience further, guided meditations and energy healing practices integrate seamlessly into the program, creating a journey of self-discovery and spiritual connection. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to help participants not only practice yoga but also experience the deeper emotional and mental benefits that come with it.

Exploring the Five Koshas: A Journey Inward

A key focus of the retreat is the ancient yogic philosophy of the five koshas—five interconnected layers of being that shape our experiences of life, health, and spirituality. These layers include the physical body (Annamaya Kosha), the energy body (Pranamaya Kosha), the mental body (Manomaya Kosha), the intellectual body (Vijnanamaya Kosha), and the bliss body (Anandamaya Kosha). Throughout the retreat, guests explore these layers through mindful movement, meditation, and yoga, with each practice designed to bring them closer to a state of peace, clarity, and self-awareness.

Luxurious Spa Treatments to Complement Your Journey

Adding to the holistic experience, guests indulge in treatments at the resort’s luxurious AVI Spa, a sanctuary perched over the water and designed to promote deep relaxation and wellness. Named after the local word for “sunshine,” AVI Spa offers a variety of signature treatments and therapies that nurture the body and soul, perfectly complementing the retreat’s focus on mindfulness and rejuvenation.

An Idyllic Setting for Renewal and Rejuvenation

Furthermore, the stunning location of the resort enhances the retreat experience. Situated at the southern tip of Raa Atoll, bordering a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and a juvenile manta ray aggregation site, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers a peaceful and inspiring backdrop for reflection and rejuvenation. As the first and only all-Club InterContinental resort, it provides exclusive benefits to guests, including indulgent amenities and luxurious accommodations. The resort features overwater villas, an adults-only area, an exquisite spa, and a variety of dining options, ensuring that each guest enjoys a complete experience of luxury and wellness.
