Maldives may be synonymous with honeymooners due to the sugar-fine beaches, secluded cerulean lagoons and the mouthwatering cuisine concocted by expert chefs, the same features plus much more specially created for kids entice families with children to make unforgettable memories in seeing the way of life in Maldives.
Most resorts like Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives plan an outdoor setting on a fine weather day to host a movie under the stars. Large bean bags and couches make up the cinema seats for the children to cosily sit or lie down and with a variety of nibbles including warm popcorn and ice cream at hand. The entire family can get together to snuggle and watch a favourite film from the resort's film menu on a large screen at the beach. The children would love the film and love the experience under the stars even more.
Have your kids experience the typical Maldivian life by visiting an inhabited island as that experience will not be possible by staying within the Maldives Villas at the resort island. This will be an enlightening experience for them to see the rustic charm of the local islands and the way of life in a deeply Islamic Nation. It can even be to visit the capital city Male which is a hive of activity and have them witness the vegetable and fish markets.
A ride in a submarine is an unusual opportunity not many kids will experience, whilst holidaying in the Maldives take your children to the depths of the ocean to be awed by aquatic life in their natural habitat as often done by families. Four trips are done by the whale submarine each day from the President's Jetty, Male.
With an array of cuisines on offer at most resorts, the young guests will enjoy meal times and fun snacks specially made for them at their resort. They may acquire a taste for different cuisines such as Japanese Sushi, Indian Masala curries, traditional Maldivian seafood dishes and French desserts etc. This is a novel experience for any young child and will give the kids an awareness of different cultures.
This centre becomes a vibrant hub when there are families with children on the island. The size of the play centre may differ, however, with trained professional staff on duty activities are planned throughout the day such as slides and grounds for young kids whilst board games, book reading and dancing etc can happen for older children.
Some children have a great interest in learning to cook and this can be arranged by having them take a tour of their favourite restaurant and even meeting the head chef.
There would be plenty of beach games and activities for children at resorts such as beach ball, dodge ball, treasure hunt and football to bring excitement and fellowship among the children.
Take your kids on a sunset cruise so they learn to appreciate the breathtaking beauty of the sunset in the Maldives. This is a unique experience that all of you must do with your children.
Have your son or daughter experience a snorkelling trip whilst you stay in the Maldives. Even if you are not a swimmer, after a couple of lessons they will be jubilant swimming with the multihued fish, a great personal accomplishment for the child.
