The tourist brochures had painted Maldives in such a light that one is highly unlikely to think of this assortment of 1190 islands as a family vacation spot. And yet, Maldives does offer as unforgettable an experience for families as it does for couples on their vacation.
The waters of Maldives are clear and transparent that even if your kids are unable to snorkel or swim, they will be able to witness the colourful fish. For the little ones who have mastered the art of staying afloat, Maldives offer beginners snorkel spots and plenty of activities for children. The key thing to remember, though, is to make your reservation at a Maldives Family Resort. This will ensure that you and your family are given the best possible care and that you are not inconveniencing other guests with the temper tantrums of the little ones. Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives, for instance, has a dedicated kids’ club. It is not uncommon for family resorts to have such clubs, and even professional childminders so that you do not have to worry too much about entertaining your kids – and can even sneak away for a date while the kids are under the best care.
Another reason to make Maldives a family vacation destination is the educational opportunities it provides for the younger ones. This is a country that takes the preservation of its environment very seriously. Not only do they allow only one resort per island, but the resort cannot be taller than the tallest palm tree on the island. Such regulations, coupled with the novel mechanisms of recycling that the island resorts have adopted, will provide your younger ones with an opportunity to see the ways of sustainable development first hand. In an era where global warming is a hot potato, it would do them a world of good to see that there are ways to integrate nature into comfort in a healthy manner.
Maldives is not only for the young couple in their doe-eyed love. It is also ideal for the parents who want a picturesque getaway and the children who wish to see a part of the world that they are yet to experience.
