COMO's two Maldives resorts have festive programmes running through December into January 2027, from a White Soirée and a Gatsby gala on New Year's Eve to visiting healers, plus festive rates with savings of up to 25%.
COMO has published its Christmas and New Year line-up for both of its Maldives islands, and both are offering festive room rates with savings of up to 25% (booking conditions apply).
COMO Cocoa Island
The small COMO Cocoa Island in South Malé Atoll centres its festive dining on Ufaa: a five-course Italian dinner with live music on 24 December, dinner under the stars on 25 December, a steak and seafood barbecue on 29 December and a White Soirée with live cooking stations and a band on 31 December. Guests who join the sunrise fishing trips on 20 or 27 December can have their catch turned into a four-course meal.
Between meals there are Italian cooking classes, sunset cruises, nurse shark and turtle trips, night snorkelling, tree planting and family games on the beach. At the COMO Shambhala spa, Japanese practitioner Yuki Nishikubo offers acupuncture and shiatsu from 16 November to 27 December.
COMO Maalifushi
At COMO Maalifushi in Thaa Atoll, the highlights are a five-course Christmas Around the World dinner, a French wine dinner on 27 December and Japanese dining nights. On selected dates a Fisherman's Table outing takes guests to a local fish market before the chefs cook the catch. New Year's Eve is a Tropical Gatsby gala on Madi Beach with a DJ and fireworks over the water.
Families get the Play by COMO kids' programme, marine safaris with the resident marine biologist and coral planting on 27 December, and there is a padel tournament too. Visiting practitioner Kimberly Rose Kneier offers acupuncture, qi gong and breathwork from 1 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, with free yoga on New Year's Day.
For guests
Cocoa Island is about 40 minutes from the airport by speedboat. Maalifushi is further south: about an hour by seaplane, or a domestic flight followed by a short boat ride. Christmas and New Year are the busiest weeks of the Maldives year, so if you want either island it is worth asking now. Ask us about Cocoa Island or ask us about Maalifushi.
