While the Maldives is renowned for its romantic getaways, it's also a haven for those travelling with kids and seeking both adventure and relaxation. If you are planning a holiday here with your nearest and dearest, these are some of the experiences that will make a trip truly unforgettable.
One of the best ways to have a blast with your kids in the Maldives is by indulging in non-motorised water sports which can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Consider staying at a private resort that offers complimentary non-motorised water sports as part of an all-inclusive plan; it can include everything from snorkelling equipment and snorkelling excursions to kayaking, pedal boats, and stand-up paddling, that lets your family explore the crystal-clear waters without the roar of engines. It's a fantastic way to introduce little ones to the beauty of the underwater world and the thrill of being in the ocean, all while ensuring their safety and the serenity of the environment.
Certain resorts have kids' clubs in Maldives that are designed to be more than just play areas and rather, a gateway to endless fun. These clubs often feature indoor and outdoor play areas, making them perfect for kids of all ages. Such well-equipped clubs also make great venues to celebrate birthdays and special occasions during a holiday. Expect a range of activities too, including treasure hunts, arts and crafts, and games, all supervised by trained staff who prioritise safety while fostering creativity. Parents can be with their young ones as they engage in the diverse things to do or even get a pampering spa treatment while the kids play!
Choosing a private island resort makes the ideal choice since you can look forward to plenty of fun in the sun, sand, and surf at a beachfront family villa. Maldives is perfect for such a coastal escape and provides abundant opportunities for spending quality time away from digital distractions. You can look forward to having a pristine beach as your playground, where you can bond with your kids over various activities; building sandcastles, playing beach games, and exploring the shore or waters together will create magical moments of uninterrupted family time that will be truly precious.
For a truly unique family outing, some private resorts offer semi-submarine excursions in Maldives. This underwater adventure featured at properties like OZEN LIFE MAADHOO is perfect when travelling with kids, as it allows them to explore the mesmerising world below the waves without the need to don snorkels or diving gear. The semi-submersible vessel provides an exciting glimpse into the stunning local marine life in a safe, dry, and guided environment. You can even opt for night expeditions for a whole new perspective on the ocean's nocturnal inhabitants from stingrays to sharks and more.
Forget taking kids to packed movie theatres and instead, imagine an open-air cinema set on the sandy shores of the Maldives under a blanket of stars. Some resorts offer private movie screenings where you can enjoy such a good time! It's an experience like no other, where you curl up together on plush seating, watch a popular Hollywood Blockbuster and share freshly made popcorn and gourmet snacks under the vast night sky. This cinematic escapade will add an extra touch of magic to your family holiday and will be amongst the many highlights of your stay.
