With a growing number of family-friendly resorts and kids’ clubs around the islands, the Maldives is quickly transforming into a dream holiday getaway for everyone. Discover the best adventures in paradise for the whole family, with a guide to exploring beyond the beaches.
Sunset Dolphin Cruises
Thanks to nutrient-rich currents and coral reefs, the Maldives is a paradise for dolphin spotting! Many resorts around the islands offer exciting cruises at sunset, gliding past pods of dancing dolphins leaping over the waves.
Spa Days (For Everyone!)
A stay at a luxurious Maldives spa resort is no longer exclusive to honeymooners and couples. Locations like Bandos Maldives Resort are bringing the soothing magic of salt scrubs and Ayurvedic oils to the whole family, with age-appropriate spa experiences tailored for kids.
Snorkelling Fun
No trip to the Maldives is complete without an underwater adventure. Swim in shallow lagoons and discover the beauty of tropical coral reefs, brimming with colourful reef fish, sea turtles, manta rays, and more!
Jet Skis, Banana Boats, and Other Watersports
Beyond snorkelling, enjoy a day out on the water with an endless number of watersports available in the Maldives. Older kids and parents will love zipping across the water on a thrilling jet ski, while the whole family can bounce along the waves on a fun banana boat adventure.
Local Island Adventures
Introducing your kids to the culture of a destination is just as important as your typical holiday activities. Wander through the streets of Malé and sample classic Maldivian flavours, or shop for memorable souvenirs that showcase incredible island craftsmanship.
