Azure waters, palm-fringed sands, and tropical bliss – it's impossible to think about the Maldives without conjuring up images of its picture-postcard beaches. Stock up on these tips to let your kids have the time of their life on these white sandy shores while keeping yourself from driving insane.
While you may be a seasoned sun lover, your little ones are not. So, it is imperative to avoid the time of the day when UV rays are strongest. Either hit the shores when those vitamin Ds are ready to be soaked or a few hours before the skies of Maldives prepare for a tranquil sunset.
Moms can't stress enough the need to keep their kids hydrated under the dazzling sun of the Maldives. Coming ready with a combo of H2O and juice can help make your task of enticing beach-thrilled rugrats to sip less stressful and get liquids in them that will keep 'em hydrated.
Packing a beach bag with all the must-haves can make or break your beach day, especially when you've got kids in tow. Make sure your beach bag has got all beach essentials and sun protection items, such as sunscreen, swimsuits, flip flops, cover-ups, bug spray and hats.
Don't keep your packing until the morning of your beach day, especially if you are planning on hitting the shores early in the day. Once your kiddos are tucked in for the night, you got to bite the bullet and get started on your packing.
The lesser skin exposed to the sun, the better. Think beyond traditional kids' swimwear and look for sun protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible while at the same time ensuring that the little one feels comfortable in it and doesn't make their beach day any less fun.
Waiting until you get to the beach to lather your kids with sunscreen? Nuh-uh, that's not something you want to do. It'll lead to anything but a good start to your beach day. So, instead of wrestling kids on beach-thrill mode to put on sunscreen, do that before you hit the sands.
As much as you'd love to unwind under palms, sip cocktails and bask in the sun, those days are pretty much gone as you now have a little human who needs your attention 24/7. So, play with your kids and try to change your perspective of a fun beach day and look at things from the point of view of your little ones.
Choose to stay at one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Maldives just a stone's throw away from the sandy shores, such as Adaaran Maldives. It would make your beach day all the more fun, easy, and convenient.
