Top 05 Things to do With the Family in Maldives – Fun-Filled Holidays for All

Providing lots of thrills and beachside relaxation in equal measure, the Maldives is the ideal destination for a family holiday. There is plenty to do and experience together that will help make for unforgettable memories; these are just some of the top things you can look forward to.

1

Spend Time at the Beach

This is the perfect destination to spend your days with the family enjoying the sun, sand and surf. Resorts in Maldives are located on private islands so you can look forward to just relaxing with loved ones on the beach, spending time together away from digital distractions! From building sandcastles and playing games to just having heart-to-heart chats with each other, there's much to do. You can also stay at beach villas right by the shore which the kids are bound to love since they can begin and end their day by the sand.

2

Go Snorkelling

One of the most popular water sports for families, snorkelling provides an easy way to explore the colourful marine world beneath the waves. No experience is required and the great thing is you can enjoy this activity right from the shore; resorts such as Kandolhu Maldives have house reefs that run around the island which can be easily explored from the surface, while snorkelling safaris are on offer too. Kids going snorkelling also have the chance to spot characters from the film Finding Nemo including clownfish (Nemo) and powder blue surgeonfish (Dory).

Enjoy Water Sports

Snorkelling aside, there are lots more water sports to look forward to trying with the family while enjoying a stay at an all-inclusive Maldives resort. Kayaking is one water-based activity you can give a go and some properties offer tandem kayaks perfect for some family exploration; check to see if glass-bottom kayaks are available which provide even better views of the marine life. Stand-up paddleboarding is another laidback water sport on offer, while older kids can look forward to kneeboarding, wakeboarding, windsurfing or some catamaran sailing.

Embark on Sunset cruises

Kids are bound to love an excursion out to sea which is why taking a sunset cruise is worth doing as well. The wind in your hair, the mesmerising sight of the sun dipping below the horizon and the promise of adventure combine to make this activity truly special. You may even be lucky enough to spot some dolphins which add to the fun. Certain resorts offer sunset cruises on special glass bottom boats so you can catch sight of diverse marine life too.

Visit Local Islands

It's a good idea to let your kids experience different cultures when on a holiday. In the Maldives, this can be done by way of visiting some local islands where families can observe more traditional lifestyles and livelihoods. Some resorts offer speedboat rides to such local islands which makes getting there part of the exciting experience, while your tour can also include having the chance to savour local dishes or afternoon tea. Depending on the property, you may also be able to visit one of the uninhabited islands for more quality family time amidst pristine shores.
