Outrigger is the place to be for families and couples ‘eggscaping’ to paradise in the Indian Ocean over the Easter school holidays

KONOTTA ISLAND, THE MALDIVES – Outrigger Konotta Maldives Resort has announced special activities for Easter 2020, April 10-13.

Guests can expect family activities such as Easter egg hunt, mini-Olympics, kids’ cooking classes, nature trail discoveries, Easter rabbit arts-and-craft sessions and open-air movie nights with classics such as Peter Pan. Pirates of The Ocean is a fun live show for all the family.

Adults can get active with a Castaway Island experience, aqua and sunrise yoga, water polo, kayak island tour, picnic on a sandbank, local island excursions, or a special introduction to scuba.

For nature enthusiasts, there will be a special session from the resort’s in-house marine biologist.

Curious gourmands can enjoy Indian, Maldivian, Sri Lankan or Japanese-cooking classes. Or simply sit back and partake of special dining set pieces such as a sunset beach barbecue, Vietnamese hot pot, Arabic mezze, Teppanyaki, and Chef’s Easter gourmet buffet special on the Sunday.

For romance, try the very Maldivian three-course sunken beach table dining experience by candlelight. Or arrange a renewal of vows with your partner at sundown.

On the island, guests should look out for Outrigger’s “Easter Eggsperts” – executive chef Christopher Long, yoga and fitness instructor Ajay Sharma Kumar, wine specialist Khail Van Niekerk, drinks mixologist, Don Sheehan, and Coral Kids Club attendants Reena and Rasshfa. The Easter Bunny will be prominent on Konotta island too.
