6 Best Things to Do with Kids in the Maldives – A memorable holiday for your family

The Maldives is the perfect destination for a luxury family holiday. It is blessed with beautiful beaches, underwater adventures, and hotels that provide a range of kid-friendly activities. Here are some of the best things to do with your kids.

1

Play on the beach

There is an endless supply of beaches in the Maldives. And which kid doesn't like getting their feet wet and enjoying the freedom a beach provides? Your kids can spend hours building sandcastles, swimming in the shallow waters, digging the sand, and letting their imagination soar. However, ask the locals about the best beaches to choose from since some are better than others.

2

The kids' clubs

Kids clubs can be seen in many of the islands in the Maldives. They generally have playgrounds, pools, and classes that encourage kids to paint, dance, and cook. These can provide a great opportunity for your kids to have some fun while also learning something useful. For those who are more inclined to sports than creative arts, there are still plenty of things to do. Ask the luxury resort in Maldives that you are staying at if they have their own kids' club.

Water sports

The Maldives is a go-to destination for water sports – not just for kids, but adults too. There are several sports such as parasailing, jet-skiing, surfing, snorkelling, and sailing. If your kids are very young, they will need you to accompany them. However, this can be a fun thing for the whole family to do together. Inquire from your holiday property – for instance, from The Residence Maldives Dhigurah – on the safest of water sports. Most reputed water sports companies in the region will pick the best for your kids.

Guided Snorkelling

If you have kids who are nature lovers and get excited about exploring and learning new things about the natural world, this will be a fun exercise for them. The lagoons surrounding the islands are home to incredible corals, which makes them ideal for a lot of marine life a well. Guided snorkelling usually takes place in such areas. Your kids will be safely taken through the beautiful waters to see incredible species such as fish, sharks, whales, and sea turtles.

5

Sandbanks

Sandbanks are unique parts of the islands that allow you to have a Robinson Crusoe-style experience. It provides an expansive sandy area right next to the lagoon and the ocean that will let your kids sunbathe, snorkel and swim while also enjoying some great food and beverages. You can even set up a BBQ and enjoy your day at the sandbanks.

6

Dolphin spotting

Another adventure for nature lovers! Dolphin spotting can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most people. The ability to see a group of dolphins swim across the ocean can be truly life-changing. These highly threatened species are quite difficult to see in most parts of the world. The Maldives is one of the few places where you can still see an abundance of these creatures. You may even see other marine creatures during the same activity.
