Every time one hears of the Maldives, it is the exquisite scenery that first comes to mind. The large expanses of sparkling blue ocean, endless islands, the soothing silence only disturbed by the sound of nature; all this makes it sound like the perfect honeymoon destination. But that is not all. Maldives is an excellent location to travel with the kids as well. Although it is not particularly aimed at the little ones, there is one thing you can certainly be sure of; where there is water, the kids will be occupied.
Children – as mothers would know- spend hours and hours splashing away in the water and they never get tired and they never get board. Maldives has plenty of opportunity for children to indulge in with seemingly anything there heart desires as long as it has something to do with water. They can build castles in the sand, play ball on the beach, snorkel with parents and embark on thrilling boat rides. The shallow waters also give kids the added pleasure of walking several metres into the sea, with their parents by their side of course.
In addition to basking in the spectacular tropical setting that anyone of any age would love, the Maldives affords fun with sports performed in the water. Indulging in one of the many water sports really depends on the child’s age but at least a boat ride would certainly be something that the whole family can enjoy. You can also try hiring a kayak with a glass bottom; the kids would fall in love with the wide variety of fish that would swim just under the boat. The many spectacular and colourful sponges and corals will certainly get the little ones squealing with delight too.
The many resorts found abundantly in the Maldives provide ample facilities for juniors. Most of them are equipped with kiddie pools that the little ones find fun and the rooms have cable television that host all their favourite TV shows. Rest assured a holiday with the kids in beautiful Maldives will keep them just as entertained as you will be.
Stay at the luxurious Anantara Veli Maldives when holidaying in the island and enjoy a Maldives resort that is well suited for families as well. It features elegant Maldives bungalows as well as offering a host of water sports that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
