Sun Siyam Olhuveli hosts the annual Christmas cake-mixing tradition celebration
Sun Siyam Olhuveli celebrated the much-anticipated start of the festive season with a vibrant Christmas Cake Mixing ceremony held on the pristine Watersports Beach, set against the breathtaking Maldivian sunset. This joyous event held last November 15, 2024 marks the resort’s tradition of welcoming the upcoming festive season this year, inspired by the classic European Rumtopf practice, where seasonal fruits are soaked in rum to create a delightful treat for the holiday season.
Under the breathtaking hues of the nightfall sky, guests gathered to partake in the age-old ritual, mixing an assortment of dry fruits, spices, and spirits that will mature to become the base for the Christmas cakes and heartwarming treats served during the resort’s festivities. The spirited atmosphere was further enlivened by the participation of the resort’s culinary team and management leaders, who guided guests through the experience, sharing reminiscence about the tradition's origins and its significance in building anticipation for the festive holidays.
Following the cake mixing, the resort hosted an exclusive Management Cocktail event as a gesture of appreciation to the guests for choosing Sun Siyam Olhuveli as their holiday destination. The cocktail gathering featured a curated selection of beverages and canapés, allowing guests to unwind and connect with fellow holiday makers and the resort’s management team. As part of the celebration, exciting prizes and gift vouchers were distributed, adding a layer of surprise and joy to the evening.
"With the cake mixing ceremony, we set the tone for a season of joy, togetherness, and celebration. It’s a cherished tradition that brings our guests and team together, creating unforgettable memories as we head into the holiday season," said Hassan Didi, Executive Chef at Sun Siyam Olhuveli Maldives.
