The Maldives, often synonymous with honeymoon bliss, might not be the first place that springs to mind for a family holiday. But fear not, parents! This island paradise offers an idyllic escape that caters to every member of the tribe, from sandcastle-obsessed toddlers to thrill-seeking teens!

Private Island Resort Getaways

Ditch the crowded beaches of other destinations and enjoy a private island resort experience for unforgettable family-friendly Maldives holidays. You can select a property in locations like North Malé Atoll, a short speedboat ride from the airport. Stay in ocean-view living spaces with an interconnected children’s room featuring bunk beds – the perfect home away from home for your little crew. Direct beach access means endless fun for the kids, while parents can finally unwind and soak up the idyllic scenery!

The Kids’ Clubs Are Magical

Gone are the days of begging your young ones to join the hotel kids’ club. The Maldives takes things to the next level with incredible offerings. Select a resort such as OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi with a multi-level kids’ club brimming with fun activities and experiences tailored to different age groups. Dedicated areas for younger children and older kids / teenagers ensure everyone is entertained. It also has a pool, arcade games, and a food corner for pizzas, pasta, and cake! Who wouldn’t want to be a kid again in a place like this?

Diverse Dining Options for All

Travelling with fussy eaters? Don’t worry, the right family resort in Maldives will cater to every palate. Parents can indulge in delicious curries and fresh seafood, while little ones will love yummy snacks and desserts to keep them happy. Consider an all-inclusive plan which adds to the convenience and savings. It can cover meals and drinks (including something stronger for the grown-ups!) as well as non-motorised water sports, daily live entertainment, and access to a kids’ club. Now that’s a holiday win-win!
