If you are looking for the ultimate paradise island family holiday but thought the Maldives were the sole territory of honeymooning couples, read on.
The Maldives boasts world class family-friendly resorts from the ultimate in pampered luxury to action-packed adventure for all ages. Most offer spacious, villa-style accommodation too, ideal for families.
Talk to our Maldives experts for the inside edge – to whet your appetite, here are some of our family favourites.
LUX* South Ari Atoll is family-friendly with a fun and quirky atmosphere. It works for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers (who love to hang out in their own Studio 17).
You’ll find a kids spa, surf school, marine discovery centre and more at the Four Seasons Kuda Huraa – and we really like the design, which echoes a traditional Maldivian village, albeit with the levels of pampering you expect from Four Seasons.
Our top pick for families with teenagers is the Six Senses Lammu – the choice of activities is incredible, Surf the world-class Ying-Yang break, try wake-boarding, scuba-diving, snorkelling and more.
Constance Halaveli offers the best accommodation options for families – not least the amazing two-storey beach villa, with its own pool.
Combining cool, contemporary and chic island escapism with family-friendly fun, NIYAMA Private Island works for all ages. There is supervised care for children aged 12 months and over and some really fun activities – from snorkelling safaris to the kids’ own fashion show each week for example.
