One of the main allures of holidaying in the Maldives is the chance to stay at a private island resort; however, keep in mind not all will be family-friendly and may have limited facilities for kids. Check what kind of features the property has to offer; ideally, it should have babysitting services, a kids' club, special meals for children at the restaurants and an onsite doctor available 24 hours. It also helps if a special welcome kit is provided with items like a colouring book, sunhat and pencil kit, while all the better if movie screenings for little ones are held too!
