A celebration in the Maldives is about the island: one that can take the whole party in villas side by side, or a private island where the party has the place to itself. The water does the rest.

Tell us the occasion, the size of the party and the dates. We shortlist islands by villa count, transfer and what the children and the grandparents will each do.

Where we go

Islands with beach and overwater villas close together, a house reef for snorkelling and a short transfer from Malé; or an entire private island for a party that wants no one else. Sri Lanka adds a cultural first act.

How the week runs

Guests arrive over a day or two and are met at the airport. Snorkelling, diving, boats, a spa and the pool fill the days loosely. The celebration dinner is on the beach or a sandbank, planned with the hosts and confirmed in writing.

Who it suits and when

Significant birthdays, anniversaries and families gathering from several countries. November to April is the dry season; the shoulder months are quieter and better value.

Best time
November to April for dry weather and calm seas. May to October is greener, cheaper, and better for surf.
Suits
