Velaa Private Island has announced The Velaa Vampire Chronicles, an eight-day Halloween takeover running from 25^th October to 1^st  November 2026 in the Maldives’ Noonu Atoll.

For GCC travellers, the programme lands on a Halloween weekend, the 31st falls on a Saturday this year, making it a short-haul family escape at the close of the region’s October school break period.

Rather than a single themed night, the Chronicles run as a series of separate experiences, with a dedicated children’s strand across all eight days.

Across the resort, the weekend brings several experiences together at once. Younger guests can join the Lha Velaa Kids Club’s Little Vampires programme, while the Vampire’s Lair Escape Room and Scary Train Ride offer after-dark thrills for the whole family. Meanwhile, The Immortals’ Stage brings a night of live music and entertainment, before it all builds to the gothic-themed Halloween Gala Dinner on 31st October.
