Experience-led travel fuels Chinese market growth at Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives
Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives has recorded strong demand from the Chinese market during the recent Lunar New Year period, with the resort reaching high occupancy levels and limited villa availability throughout the festive season.
The performance reflects a growing preference among Chinese travellers for experience-led luxury shaped by meaning, intention, and connection, rather than celebration alone.
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, marks a period of renewal and forward momentum. In the Year of the Fire Horse, traditionally associated with passion, confidence, and bold new journeys, couples are increasingly looking ahead to shared experiences and future travel plans that reflect their aspirations together.
With availability during the peak festive period limited, the resort has introduced a new offer designed for future stays. The Lunar Retreat: New Moon, New Memories offers a 30 percent saving and encourages guests to plan travel beyond the festive peak, allowing for a more relaxed and immersive island experience.
Inspired by the symbolism of the new moon and fresh beginnings, the offer invites couples to plan a future escape to the Maldives at a time that allows for deeper relaxation, reflection, and connection. The experience is shaped around a more considered rhythm of island living, blending contemporary design with moments that encourage reconnection with oneself, with one another, and with the natural flow of life on a private island.
Days unfold at an unhurried pace, allowing space for meaningful togetherness alongside moments of quiet retreat. Available for direct booking via the resort’s official website from mid-February, the offer applies to stays through to the end of May 2026.
Designed to carry the intentions set during Chinese New Year into the months ahead, the offer transforms seasonal reflection into shared experiences. Selected elements of the stay can be enhanced through curated moments that bring guests together while preserving privacy, calm, and intimacy.
Commenting on the demand, Raffaele Solferino, General Manager of Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives, said: “We are delighted to see such strong interest from our Chinese guests during Chinese New Year. While availability during the festive period itself is limited, The Lunar Retreat allows couples to carry the meaning of the season forward—turning new intentions into new memories, at a time that feels unhurried and deeply personal.”
Located on a private island just minutes from Malé, Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives is known for its overwater and beachfront villas, immersive wellness experiences, and personalised service, offering a balanced setting for couples seeking both romance and renewal.
