World-renowned fashion illustrator Alena Lavdovskaya returns to the luxurious Milaidhoo Maldives for the third time, bringing her signature blend of art, fashion, and island inspiration. From 22–29 September 2025, guests will be treated to an immersive week of artistic discovery in one of the world’s most serene island settings.
A Third Artistic Chapter at Milaidhoo
After two hugely successful residencies, Alena is once again ready to paint her magic across the turquoise blues of the Indian Ocean. Her artistic journey in Milaidhoo Island Maldives, one of the top luxury boutique resorts, promises guests the rare chance to learn from one of fashion’s most beloved illustrators. With her work featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and InStyle, and collaborations with elite fashion brands, Alena is celebrated for her graceful, emotive sketches. Her return to Milaidhoo cements the resort’s reputation as a haven for creative luxury experiences.
Group Art Masterclasses in Paradise
This exclusive residency includes two intimate group art masterclasses, open to guests of all artistic abilities. Whether you’re a beginner exploring sketching or a seasoned artist refining your style, these sessions offer a rare chance to learn directly from Alena. Set in tranquil open-air locations surrounded by nature, the classes take inspiration from the Maldivian way of life – from vibrant marine life to the rhythm of traditional bodu beru drumming and the fluidity of island motion. It’s art that comes alive through island culture and sensory experience.
