This year, Crown & Champa Resorts in the Maldives invites guests to embrace freedom, break routines, and follow your heart across horizons, as it marks the Year of the Fire Horse, a zodiac celebrated for bold leaps, fearless choices, and life-changing journeys. For travellers who honour Lunar New Year traditions or delight in the principles of Feng Shui, this is a year to step into adventure, embrace passion, and welcome transformation, and no destination embodies this spirit more beautifully than the Maldives.
Picture starting the year where fire meets water: golden sunrises spilling across calm lagoons, tangerine and coral sunsets melting into turquoise seas, and warm island light softening into tranquil dawns and dusky skies. Here, the free-spirited energy of the Fire Horse seems to drift gently across every wave and breeze, inviting you to leave behind the ordinary and embrace experiences that inspire the heart.
Start each day with intention in the Maldives. Watch the first sunrise from an overwater or beach villa deck, or even knee-deep in the lagoon, as the sky glows in vibrant Fire Horse hues. Let the gentle breeze carry your wishes for love, prosperity, and new beginnings.
In the evenings, trade the pace of daily life for the spectacular Maldivian sunset. Enjoy a sunset dolphin cruise or a private yacht experience, releasing anything you wish to leave behind as the sun dips beneath the horizon.
Refresh your body and mind with wellness activities designed to harmonise with the year’s energy. Indulge in spa treatments, yoga sessions by the water, or quiet meditation, letting the tranquil Maldivian surroundings enhance your sense of clarity and calm.
Dive into experiences that feel like good omens for the year ahead. Snorkel alongside turtles, drift with manta rays, or enjoy destination dining at the 5.8 All-Glass Undersea Restaurant as colourful fish glide by. Candle-lit beach dinners, Teppanyaki experiences, and romantic sunset cruises create moments that mirror the Fire Horse’s invitation to embrace change gracefully.
With ten resort islands, hundreds of activities, and a variety of accommodations, from overwater villas to boutique wellness retreats, Crown & Champa Resorts offer experiences for every kind of traveller.
Whether it’s a couple’s getaway, a family escape, or a luxurious adults-only retreat, every stay offers a sense of space and perspective that only wide-open seas can provide. With minimal light pollution, the night sky becomes a canvas for stargazing, perfect for wishing upon the Milky Way.
