The Maldives are a dream destination for a family holiday
If you want to spend a family holiday in the Maldives, you will have a wide choice of resorts offering family villas, kids clubs and plenty of activities for little ones and teenagers.
Families traveling with toddlers can also find some good resorts in Maldives that offer baby clubs ( if not, baby-sitting is available almost everywhere ), meanwhile families with teens will enjoy a great range of activities specially tailored for them.
A note about Maldives Kids Clubs
A perfect child friendly hotel comes a kids-club. I mention them for each resort for you reference.
If you want to know more about the best Maldives Kids Clubs, don’t miss my flagship post written after spending several months in the archipelago with our son ( from age 2,5 until 14 ) : The Ultimate Guide for a Family Holiday in Maldives. The Best Kids Clubs.
Some time ago I introduced you 10 beautiful beach villas in the Maldives where we stayed.
However, most of these villas, as beautiful as they are, were mostly for for couple and 1 child sleeping on a sofa bed or an extra rolling bed. Don’t get me wrong, they are truly wonderful, we experienced them all, but privacy is not the same.
For several years now, the Maldives have become a perfect destination for a holiday with our children, young, toddlers or teenagers.
The best way to spend a Dreamy vacation with the all family is to stay in a family Villa.
The villas I present you here are really made for families ( I based myself on 1 couple and 2 kids – teens included ). They offer 2 bedrooms or a separated large living room for 2 extra beds, some boast a swimming pool -or not if located right in front of the lagoon which is a natural pool by definition, amazing interiors and design, countless luxury amenities, gorgeous locations and of course, excellent services.
About Family Villas located overwater
For safety reasons, overwater villas are not ideal (this is only my opinion + some resorts do refuse small children for this reason ) for kids, especially small ones.
It can be really dangerous and requires a constant attention. If you choose to stay overwater with your kids, please bare in mind that you are solely responsible for their safety and that you will not have many quiet moments.
As stated above, in Maldives, kids are generally not accepted in overwater villas.
Some resorts do accept them and offer 2-bedroom water villas but due to their location above the sea, they will be more suitable for families traveling with big kids and young teenagers.
Therefore, I will only present you here family villas located on the beach in selected resorts that offer great services and amenities.
These villas offer all the necessary comfort to meet the needs and requirements of families and couples traveling with children.
