The Maldives isn’t just a honeymoon destination — it’s also a fantastic choice for a family holiday. With calm lagoons, playful marine life, and resorts designed to keep both kids and adults happy, it’s easier than ever to enjoy island time together. Here are some of the best activities that make a Maldives resort stay exciting for families.
Snorkelling Adventures for All Ages
Many resorts offer shallow reef access right from the beach, perfect for beginners. Kids love spotting clownfish and turtles in the clear water, while parents enjoy the calm pace and stunning views. Staying in a family water villa in Maldives adds to the fun, with direct lagoon access making snorkelling just steps away.
Creative Fun at a Kids’ Club
Many Maldives resorts have dedicated kids’ clubs designed to keep young travellers active and entertained. These clubs often include creative workshops, nature walks, and games led by trained staff. For example, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas offers the Thiththi Boli Kids’ Club, where children aged 4 to 12 can enjoy supervised fun in a safe and engaging setting.
Family Dolphin Cruises
Head out on a gentle boat ride and watch wild dolphins play in the open sea. It’s a magical experience that even the youngest travellers won’t forget.
Cooking Classes for Little Chefs
Some resorts offer mini cooking sessions where kids can try their hand at Maldivian dishes or decorate sweet treats.
Beach Games and Movie Nights
From beach volleyball to outdoor movie screenings under the stars, evening fun is easy to find and perfect for winding down after a sun-filled day.
