The Maldives is the closest thing to heaven on earth, and it’s best enjoyed with family – be it your significant other, your kids or even your parents. You may think of the Maldives as a romantic getaway, but it has something for everyone, even the kids.
If you are spending your time in the Maldives at an ultra-luxurious resort like Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives, you’ll have the option of taking a cruise to explore the hidden nooks and crannies of these gorgeous islands. There are over 1900 of them, some inhabited while others are not. You can go island hopping, meet the locals, catch a sunset and see carefree dolphins playing around in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean – the kids will love this for sure!
Whiling the hours away in the blissful tropical sun by the impossibly clear waters that surround the Maldives is more often than not, more than enough for your average adult – but it’s likely that the kids will get bored after a day or two of carefree frolicking. That’s why there are so many activities to do in Maldives. Any resort you might choose to stay at will have a good and varied selection of watersports for adults and kids alike. You can surely have some thrills and lots of fun together as a family.
After a day in the sun by the sea, you’d definitely want some time to unwind and just let your mind wander – the kids though, will probably have a lot of energy left. So, after a lovely dinner by the beach, sit down and enjoy a fun-filled movie with the whole family at an outdoor cinema. Most resorts in the Maldives will set up big screens right by the sea and play family classics and the latest releases. Kids never say no to the movies – how could they, especially in a setting so unique?
You probably want the kids to make as many memories of this trip as possible, and there is no better way to do this than to take them on a ride under the waters of the Indian Ocean, on a magical mini-submarine ride. Not every resort will have this activity readily on offer, but there are a few tours organised year-round by local companies – so be sure to make a booking in advance and surprise the kids with an adventure to search for kingdoms lost beneath the sea – or at least to catch a glimpse of the wonders beneath the waters of the Maldives.
In the Maldives, they actually have restaurants that are under the ocean. Ithaa underwater restaurant is probably the most famous of these. It’s an experience you can only have in a few select locations in the world. So, when you’re planning a trip to the Maldives, be sure to make a reservation for the whole family to have dinner under the sea.
