If you want some quality time with kids on a vacation getaway, look no further than the Maldives. Here are a few reasons to consider it as your next travel destination with the family.
If you want to see what's happening in the ocean beneath you while taking a relaxing boat ride, this might be just the activity for the whole family. These boats are equipped with comfortable seating, and the clear glass panel beneath the boat will emanate the colourful world beneath you to your feet. Some trips complete the journey with a prepared lunch for the visitors on the beach. It might be the ideal adventure with kids who don't know how to swim but want to experience sea life up close. Boat ride packages can be arranged by your accommodation upon request.
Most islands will have activities not restricted to indoor kids' clubs. They combine group snorkelling, scavenger hunts, beach Olympics, hermit crab races, sunset activities such as bonfires with roasted marshmallows, pyjama parties, and movie nights.
If you want to start letting your kids learn to dive, select an island that allows the PADI Bubblemaker preparatory course for diving. For older kids, some resorts have rock climbing, painting studios, gaming centres, and teens clubs to keep them busy.
A visit to the capital and economic centre of the Maldives will be an enjoyable trip for kids and a change from the luxurious setting of private resorts. It is a good way to get children acquainted with the culture of the Maldives. Although it is a small island, it is the capital and most populated of all the islands in the Maldives. Visit the National Museum and the Grand Mosque. Further, check out Newport, a trendy spot located on the busy beachside road. They have an exciting array of restaurants to have a nice meal. If you want to stay close to the capital many star-class resorts such as Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas offer great luxury accommodation and villa in Maldives.
Water sports and activities are perhaps what the Maldives is most popular. Get kids acquainted with scuba diving or snorkelling. For older children who can swim, it is a great opportunity to learn a water sport.
A tour of some of the islands will be an unforgettable experience for everyone! With hundreds of islands in the Maldives, what better way to get acquainted with Maldivian culture and traditions.
