The Maldives is quite a popular travel destination among families with family-friendly resorts and tailored activities that offer a mix of comfort and relaxation. The island provides a perfect setting and backdrop to strengthen the family bonding with a lack of distractions and a slower pace of life. With spacious accommodation, kids’ clubs, and activities like water sports and marine life exploration, the Maldives is all set to win your hearts. Different travel agencies offer travel deals to ensure safe and seamless experiences for families. But what is exactly in the Maldives holiday packages?
Let’s break it down here so that you can set realistic expectations from the journey and get to learn why this island paradise must be in your travel bucket list for family holidays.
1. Travel & Transfers
In most of the Maldives family holiday packages, round trip flights are included and the families thus land in the Maldives international airport, paired with hotel transfer from the airport. From Male Airport, you can transfer to the island via a speedboat or seaplane. This seamless transfer saves you from all sorts of hassles and ensures unforgettable experiences for your family.
2. Accommodation
Accommodation is one of the biggest concerns for families and most of them are looking for spacious hotels or suites with connecting rooms. In the Maldives holiday packages, comfortable hotels for families are included and they can expect to stay at family villas or suites with multi-bedrooms, overwater villas or private pools (optional). The most famous accommodation options in such deals include the Siyam World Resort Maldives, JW Marriott, and the Ritz-Carlton Fari Islands that offer a great space and family-friendly rooms for an exceptional stay in the Maldives.
3. Dining & Meals
This is another aspect that can affect your entire Maldives holiday experience. As most of the times, in families, there are kids as picky eaters or some of the individuals might have certain food demands, to cater to which there is a choice of customised meals in these travel deals. Also, you can pick from bed and breakfast to all-inclusive meal plans as per your budget. Many resorts even feature onsite restaurants offering both local and international cuisines including Japanese, Asian, and Thai food. You can choose to either dine in from the premises of the hotel room you are staying or simply enjoy your food at a casual beach or poolside dining spots with unlimited champagne and wine included in most cases.
4. Kids Clubs & Child Programs
The resorts in the Maldives offer different kids’ clubs and programs to keep the kids highly engaged during their Maldives holidays. Thus, most of the travel deals include an access to these clubs as well as different educational and wellness programs. Kids can also take part in cooking classes, yoga, face painting, art and craft sessions, and sandcastle competitions at resorts like The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott. This also allows parents to enjoy some time together and relax while kids are busy with these productive activities.
5. Access to Swimming & Pools
One can add resorts having villas with multiple pool options like swimming pools, adult pools, plunge pools, and children’s pools to their package. There are many resorts in the Maldives such as The Siyam World Maldives that offer water slides from private decks that take you to lagoons or pools for wholesome and playful experiences.
6. Water Sports & Marine Activities
Your trip to the Maldives is surely incomplete without marine or water-based activities and interaction with the marine life species. That is why, make sure the package you are selecting includes specific marine activities such as water sports like snorkelling, scuba diving, and more. Many resorts even provide free snorkel gear or excursions. Families can also book dolphin sighting and turtle spotting tours or take diving lessons to sharpen their water-based skills.
7. Excursions & Island Adventures
Many of these deals already feature excursions for families such as island hopping, fishing excursions, or a short trip to the local fishing villages. For instance, if one has opted for Siyam World for staying, they can get access to different adventurous activities such as horse-riding, jungle go-karting, jet-car riding, floating water park, and even more, if they have opted for an all-inclusive Maldives holiday package.
8. Wellness, Spa & Adult Time
Other than kids, parents can also pamper themselves to spa sessions, wellness and yoga classes, massages and more. Plus, if you have opted for a resort like the Club Med Kani, then you can get access to wellness activities as well as exotic treatments and medical help in case of any emergency.
9. Value & Extra Benefits
Premium family deals come with complementary meals for kids, kid-friendly menus and different extras. These include free babysitting, movie nights, gaming rooms, and even kids discos. At some resorts, you may also get free gear for kids and an access to shallow beaches with safe swimming zones.
