Maldives is often hailed as an ideal destination for couples and romantic holidays, but it’s also great for family vacations, especially if you’re travelling with toddlers. Here are a few tips to follow for your much-awaited family adventure to the archipelago.
When to Visit with the Kids
The Maldives has two primary seasons – the wet and dry seasons, with the latter being the ideal time, from December to April. However, try to time your visit during early December for the best weather conditions.
Choosing Accommodation
The Maldives is home to numerous resorts across its 26 atolls but not all of them are kid-friendly. Make sure to select a Maldives resort that welcomes children and has kid-friendly facilities like a kids’ club, and kids’ food menus.
What to Pack
It is best not to rely on finding extra supplies on the island, as this can be quite expensive. Instead, pack extra quantities of everything, especially baby products like diapers. Also include water toys, medicines and comfy clothing for you and your kids.
Kid-Friendly Activities to Try
Visiting the beach is an ideal option for toddlers as the Maldives is never short on them. You can also go on a dolphin-watching tour, or gentle boat rides. Certain resorts like Kurumba Maldives offer educational and creative activities that your kids will love!
