New Year’s Eve at Milaidhoo Island Maldives
We had a full programme in place to welcome 2017 in style at Milaidhoo Maldives! We began in the afternoon with a Maldivian tea time at Compass Pool Bar.
We then progressed to a lovely “Milaidhoo and Billecart Moments” champagne reception at The Shoreline Grill where we all enjoyed our house champagne – Billecart Salmon – on the beach with the waves and our resident band to serenade us.
The New Year’s Eve gala dinner at Ocean was a sight to behold, with tables loaded with gourmet pleasures from around the world and the team of chefs on hand for live cooking.
Finally, the party moved to Compass Pool Bar for more drinks, fireworks at midnight and dancing barefoot on the sand to our live band, The Kabans, until the early hours of the morning.
On to 2017: while some guests were up bright and early to go snorkelling with our resident marine biologist, we think the ‘recovery from the night before’ drinks menu at Compass this morning will be much appreciated by others!
