 In a celebration that fuses timeless heritage with elevated indulgence, THE OZEN COLLECTION teams up with Champagne Guy Charbaut for the fifth consecutive year. This milestone marks a deepening partnership between the iconic Maldivian hospitality brand and the historic French champagne house, bringing a week-long series of refined experiences across two dreamy resorts—OZEN LIFE MAADHOO and OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI—from 20th to 26th October 2025.

Founded in 1936, Champagne Guy Charbaut has nearly a century of expertise crafting elegant cuvées shaped by the terroir of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Known for its refined approach to winemaking, the Maison’s philosophy aligns perfectly with THE OZEN COLLECTION’s commitment to crafting unforgettable luxury moments.

OZEN LIFE MAADHOO | 20–22 October 2025

The celebration kicks off underwater at M6m on 20th October, where a dual lunch and dinner will be elevated by expertly curated Champagne pairings. The next day, the bold flavors of TRADITION INDOCEYLON take the spotlight in a “Champagne & Spice” dinner—a bold blend of Indian culinary tradition and French finesse. The festivities at MAADHOO conclude on 22nd October with the Champagne Brunch Royale at THE PALMS, a relaxed, bubbly affair that perfectly captures the essence of barefoot luxury.

OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI | 24–26 October 2025

From 24th October—World Champagne Day—BOLIFUSHI will host a captivating overwater dining experience at ORIGINƎ, where the finest vintages accompany gourmet, ocean-inspired fare. On 25th October, the fan-favorite “Champagne & Spice” dinner returns at SAFFRON, once again marrying the bold warmth of Indian flavors with the elegance of French Champagne. The series wraps on a high note with a sunset pool party at OZAR on 26th October, where golden bubbles sparkle against the backdrop of the Maldivian golden hour.

“We have discovered something extraordinary with THE OZEN COLLECTION,” shared Xavier Charbaut.
“What began as a meeting of philosophies—our devotion to terroir and their dedication to curated moments—has grown into a cherished tradition. The Maldives feels like a second home for our champagnes. We’re already imagining the next chapter: daring new pairings, deeper connections with our vintages, and a few surprises from our cellars.”

A Partnership Beyond the Events

The collaboration isn’t limited to a single week. Throughout the year, guests at both resorts can explore the Maison’s impressive portfolio—from the refined Cuvée de Réserve ‘Old Vines’ Brut to the vibrant Rosé 1er Cru Brut. Each pour is an invitation to transform ordinary moments into exceptional memories.

“This partnership exemplifies what luxury truly means today,” says Nicolas Laguette, Director of Wines at Atmosphere Core.
“It’s a celebration of tradition and innovation coming together—where every detail is intentional and every guest moment is designed to inspire.”

With five years of exceptional experiences behind them, THE OZEN COLLECTION and Champagne Guy Charbaut look ahead to a sparkling future filled with elegance, discovery, and plenty of bubbles.
