subject: Celebrate A Different Kind Of Christmas In Maldives [print this page] Soft white snowflakes, big warm sweaters and street side carols are all part of the usual Christmas cheer that you would experience. But how about we move it to somewhere sunnier? A place that has more blue than white and green in the form of tall coconut and palm trees. Who's up for some Christmas fun in the island of Maldives?
You would not have the annual Christmas parties, the visits you have to make and the planning of the Christmas dinner. There, is nothing wrong with them of course and there are very many people who love it, however for those of you who are looking forward to escape, why not escape to an island paradise to celebrate this Christmas in style?
Though a predominantly Islam country, Maldives has its share of Christians and they do celebrate this important festival with equal vigour and enthusiasm. Christmas procession begins a month in advance with people decorating houses, trees being put up and the works. Church services on the day of Christmas, exchanging of gifts and family dinners will happen too, so you aren't really missing out on any traditions but experiencing them with another culture.
Instead of building the traditional snowman, you can create your snowman in "sand" and snorkel, water ski instead of snow ski or surf and sun bathe, that's how different your celebrations would be. Every Maldives island resort offers special packages during the season. All you've got to do is pick out which island and which Maldives Villas are pleasing to your taste. Kurmathi Island is only 2km long but is the largest of the 6 islands that belong to the Alif Atoll administration. Not too small and not too big is what Kurmathi is.
Drop in at the Kurmathi Island Resort for a vacation that captures all the essence of Maldives. The Resort offers 9 kinds of guest villas, each distinct in design but unified by a theme of contemporary luxury. The garden villas and the beach villas offer private seclusion, while the deluxe and superior versions of them are a similar retreat with even more luxury including your own jacuzzi. The water villas are built on stilts and sit atop the lagoon, where stepping out is sliding in to calm waters.
