We Are Music in Paradise
The most exclusive and intimate music event you will ever experience!
We Know How To Throw a Party!
Music in Paradise was born in 2014 from a simple but radical idea: what if your favourite artist didn't perform in a stadium — but right in front of you, metres from the ocean, as the sun disappeared into the horizon? We curate the world's most intimate music experiences, pairing legendary Australian artists with the most breathtaking resort destinations on earth — the Maldives, Fiji, Bali, Whitsundays and beyond. This isn't just a concert. It's a week you'll spend the rest of your life talking about.
Major Artists
Experience intimate performances from some of Australia’s most celebrated artists, with past line-ups featuring Jimmy Barnes, Delta Goodrem, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse, Xavier Rudd, Birds of Tokyo and many more.
Magical Experiences
Enjoy sunset concerts, private beach parties and relaxed days in paradise, with opportunities to swim, surf, explore or simply unwind alongside artists and like-minded music lovers.
More Than a Decade
Since 2014, Music in Paradise has brought thousands of guests together for unforgettable holidays combining live music, tropical destinations and exceptional resort experiences.

Bucket List Trip

Last year, my friends returned from Music in Paradise: Missy Higgins in the Maldives absolutely raving about it. At the time, I was in the middle of cancer treatment, and while I was thrilled for them, I couldn't help but dream that if the opportunity ever came around again, I would be healthy…

Another Great Experience

Our second MIP getaway with The Church. Great music (pity the weather was hit and miss), fantastic people and the MIP team looked after us. Could not ask for more. Will do it again if we can.

Just got back from the Jimmy / Mossy / Cruel Sea/ Magic Dirt show a couple of months ago. Was absolutely brilliant. Couldn't believe the work that went into the stage and sound. The staff at the Intercontinental were the best. Made you feel like a special guest. Will definitely go back for a MIP gig again.

Where it started
Perfect Travel Group, home of Perfect Wave Surf Experience, S-Resorts and A Perfect Foundation, among others, is the world’s largest surf & lifestyle group.
Sensing the time was right, in 2011 we made a conscious decision to channel resources into creating really cool, totally unique, exclusive experiences.
Perfect Wave’s Global Marketing Manager Ben Horvath and CEO Jamie Gray devised a completely original and unique offering – Music In Paradise.
Music in Paradise fuses a love of the ocean, and music, in one unique offering.
Days are spent playing in tropical crystal clear waters at the best resorts in Australia, Fiji, Maldives or Indonesia, and as the sun sets, music legends perform live with the crashing waves as percussion.
The intimate gigs ensure that guests enjoy direct interaction with the performers and a front-row experience.
Hang out with your favourite music artist while holidaying in paradise. It doesn’t get any better than this.
In June 2014, Perfect Travel Group launched the inaugural Music In Paradise series featuring Donavon Frankenreiter at Kandooma Resort, Maldives.
In June 2015 Pete Murray and Matt Smith performed. That September, Tex Perkins and Murray Patterson played 4 incredible gigs in 7 days, also at Kandooma.
Since then, Music in Paradise expanded to Bali, Fiji and Australia. Ocean Alley and Phil Jamieson at S-Resorts Hidden Valley, Jimmy Barnes at Kandooma as well as Daydream Island in the Whitsundays.
May 2022 was our biggest one yet with Daryl Braithwaite, Richard Clapton, Ian Moss, Troy Cassar Daley, The Living End, Phil Jamieson, Diesel and The Black Sorrows – massive two weeks of amazing music and unforgettable memories for everyone involved.
In 2023 Music in Paradise hosted Xavier Rudd, Delta Goodrem and Birds of Tokyo in Maldives, and Jimmy Barnes with Kate Ceberano, Ian Moss, The Black Sorrows and Mahalia Barnes in Whitsundays.
The question on everyone’s lips after all these MUSIC IN PARADISE gigs always is: How could you ever go to a standard gig ever again?
In 2026, you can look forward to Birds of Tokyo, The Living End and Delta Goodrem in Fiji, Kate Miller-Heidke, Missy Higgins, ICEHOUSE, and the Cat Empire in the Maldives, Jimy Barnes, Mark Seymour, The Church and Mahalia Barnes in the Whitsundays and Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss, Magic Dirt and The Cruel Sea in Bali.
Sitting literally metres from the stage on a bean bag, cocktail or beer in hand, partner, friends or family nearby, socializing with the musos and like-minded fans is unbeatable!
The most exclusive and intimate music events you will ever experience!
The feeling of value beyond the actual resort stay or a live music gig is unsurpassed in the marketplace.
