In the idyllic setting of the Maldives, the joyous spirit of Eid al-Fitr reverberated throughout the archipelago as communities joined to celebrate together. From 10th April to 12th April 2024, the nation enjoyed three days of festivities, marking this auspicious occasion also known as Kuda Eid with reverence and jubilation. Synonymous with the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic Calendar, Eid al-Fitr holds profound significance as it signifies the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.

The festivities commenced at the break of dawn, as the faithful gathered in mosques across the Maldives to offer prayers of gratitude and reflection. Following the morning prayer, devotees listened to sermons delivered by religious scholars, drawing inspiration from timeless teachings and ethical principles, while getting involved in charitable acts was another key aspect of this day. The atmosphere was further transformed into one of conviviality and camaraderie, as families and friends embarked on a tradition of visiting loved ones and sharing elaborate meals together. Amongst the best places for travellers to stay during such times is at a private island all inclusive hotel; Maldives getaways to such properties including OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI provide an ideal opportunity to experience the festive atmosphere during cultural celebrations throughout the year.
