The programme spans music, wellness, gastronomy, art, and marine conservation across three days and two resorts, moving from reflective mornings to conversational afternoons, to gatherings in the evenings and performances at night.
Golden Globe, Emmy and Olivier Award-winning and BAFTA and Academy Award-nominated actor Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Saltburn) headlines the 2026 festival as a returning guest and has been part of shaping this edition from the inside.
Pre-opening, Pike will host a charity dinner as Ambassador for Mines Advisory Group, the humanitarian organisation dedicated to clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance from conflict zones around the world.
Her involvement includes a solo address on creative expression and a guided meditation in partnership with psychedelic meditation app Lumenate, where she will introduce Nova, the game-changing light therapy mask which allows access to a place of insight and calm. Rounding out her programme: a Maldivian cooking class at Patina Maldives' newly-launched Kandu restaurant.
Alongside Rosamund Pike, the programme brings together exceptional artists, designers, and culinary talents. Globally recognised designer and cultural tastemaker Sean Wotherspoon, known for the iconic Nike Air Max 1/97 collaboration and his influence across fashion, streetwear, and sustainability, will create a collective art installation and design the official festival merchandise.
Cult French musician, producer, and creative icon Sébastian Tellier, recently appointed Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government, closes the festival with a live piano set. Michelin-starred Hong Kong-born chef and founder of Parisian neo-bistrot SENsation Chef Samuel Lee brings his refined Cantonese cooking shaped by French influences.
WAGYUMAFIA and Dry Wave Cocktail Studio showcase bold dining and cocktails.
Wellness by Bamford returns as the festival's wellness partner, led by CJ Jones-Leake and Stephanie Waxberg, to offer a new signature treatment at both resorts' spas alongside nutrition and movement sessions.
