Gin, Champagne & Coral Sunsets: OZEN’s Adults-Only Gin Bar & Guy Charbaut Masterclass

Gin Is In: An Adults-Only Sanctuary of Botanicals

Perched above turquoise waters, ‘Gin Is In’ isn’t just a bar—it’s a curated journey through 18+ rare and exquisite gins. Vibrant interiors mirror the Indian Ocean’s hues, while master mixologists craft cocktails like:

• Lanka Spice: London Dry Gin kissed with cinnamon, evoking Maldivian spice routes.

• Sea Dew: Hendrick’s gin, fresh cucumber, absinthe, and rosemary—an oceanic elixir.

Why it’s unique: Steward-led tasting sessions decode gin histories and perfect pairings (think artisanal tonics and tropical fruits). As dusk paints the sky coral, this lounge becomes a sanctuary for sipping amidst salt-kissed breezes.

Crafting Your Odyssey

Plan around October 2025 to witness the Champagne series. By day, dive coral reefs; by dusk, head to ‘Gin Is In’ for a Sea Dew as the sun melts into the Indian Ocean. Reserve masterclasses early—they sell out.

Pro Tip: Book a Wind Villa with a pool for sunset views. Post-tasting, stroll to Joie de Vivre Beach Club for wood-fired pizza under the stars.

“These shores amplify Champagne’s vibrancy—the salt-kissed air is our collaborator.”
— Xavier Charbaut on OZEN’s magic.

In the Maldives, luxury isn’t just seen—it’s sipped. At OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, gin and Champagne become liquid postcards from paradise, framed by coral sunsets and boundless blue.
