This festive season, Mercure Maldives Kooddoo invites adults to step into Festive Royale, a holiday playground where glamour meets mischief and every night feels like a story in the making. From 22 December 2025 to 7 January 2026, the resort transforms into a stage for cheeky elves, daring parties, and celebrations that sparkle well past midnight.
Santa’s official scout Elf and his friends are sent to Mercure Maldives Kooddoo to set the fun tone for Adults. Mischievous, playful, and full of charm, they set the tone for nights for those who were naughty than nice this year.
On Christmas Eve, Alita Restaurant turns into a playful Elves playground with the Elf on a Shelf Christmas Eve Gala Dinner and continue with a DJ-led party under the stars. On Christmas Day, the Grinch himself makes a dramatic entrance, then the day keeps the indulgence rolling with a festive breakfast followed later by a lavish lunch and dinner buffet, ensuring the holiday spirit stretches from morning to evening. With Elves running the show, the mood stays lively, spirited, and just the right amount of wicked and fun.
As the year draws to a close, Mercure Maldives Kooddoo dresses the part in glitter and glamour for Operation Countdown, a New Year’s Eve inspired by the suave allure of ‘The 007’. Guests begin with cocktails on the Pool Bar Deck before stepping into a gala dinner that sets the scene for an evening of seduction, style, and surprises. The night swells into a poolside countdown party with DJ sets driving the energy until 2025 closes and 2026 begins. On New Year’s Day, guests are welcomed back to Alita Restaurant for a long, bubbly brunch.
Between indulgent nights and daring parties and games, Mercure offers ways to recharge or dive into something new. Guests can join lively pool gatherings, playful cocktail and cooking classes, or reset with yoga, meditation, and spa sessions at Suvadiva Spa. Guests can also join morning ‘Elf on a Shelf’ hunts, where the chase promises various gifts waiting to be uncovered, adding an element of playful mystery to the days, while evenings soften into reflective moments like sound healing under the stars, keeping the balance between mystery, energy, and renewal.
“This is the season where Elves run wild, the Grinch takes center stage, and the New Year feels like the set of a Bond film,” said Riaan Drever, Cluster General Manager. “At Mercure Maldives Kooddoo, guests can expect a celebration that flirts with mischief, dazzles with glamour, and keeps the island alive with energy from morning hunts to late-night beats.”
This December, Mercure Maldives Kooddoo invites guests to step into a festive playground of cheek, charm, and celebration, where every night writes its own story and no two are ever alike.
