The team of talented resident mixologists will be showcasing the sparkling Jumhooree Spice, a rum-based cocktail infused with a blend of local spices, tea, passionfruit and coconut, barrel-aged to perfection in the Cocktail Lab.The after-party takes place from 9:00 pm onwards, with an entertainment lineup featuring guest DJs and a fire show.
A collection of birthday pralines will be given during the evening turndown service. These come in flavors inspired by signature desserts at each of the restaurants: green tea-infused white chocolate from Sip Tea Lounge; hazelnut imperial from Habitat; vanilla and cheese from Origin; tiramisu from Aura; and smoky citrus from Beach Shack. The celebration continues through to July 15, with all guests staying at the resort receiving special savings off selected salon treatments, watersports and food and beverage, as well as complimentary photography during the ever-popular Try Mermaid and Try Scuba sessions.
Guests will also be able to explore several installations by well-known Maldivian artist Rappe, who maintains an art studio on the island. These include a paper art gate, as well as a full exhibit of curated pieces. Called “Ehtherevari’, the exhibit takes its name from a Dhivehi word for the calm waters enclosed by surrounding reefs, and highlights the delicate nature of the marine ecosystem.
