Tour ideas


Our Lightfoot Travel holiday designers have put together the perfect itinerary - our Maldives with Kids tour. Rest assured, we keep travel times to a minimum, and book you into the safest, most suitable family villas, with an itinerary tailored just for you. When it comes to resorts in the Maldives, there are plenty to choose from. Many offer exclusive villas with private swimming pools, ensuring a comfortable and intimate family retreat.


Consider selecting a beach villa or one of the iconic overwater villas with an infinity pool overlooking crystal clear waters. Discover incredible experiences on your trip, think underwater diving, house reef snorkelling and shark safaris. Turtle adventures with a marine biologist are great for children to learn more about these endangered ancient reptiles, including how to protect their habitats.


Things to do


Safe, secluded and serene, there’s plenty to do on every atoll. Swim in calm bays, snorkel in turquoise waters, and spot multi-coloured fish, manta rays, sea turtles and even dolphins. Older kids can paddle into uncrowded surf spots or try their hand at kayaking, flyboarding or windsurfing. Incredible kids’ clubs are available at many resorts in the Maldives, offering a busy schedule of daily activities for youngsters. While parents relax on the beach or indulge in a spa treatment, children can partake in supervised fun, including beach games, arts and crafts, and even outdoor movie nights with ice cream under the stars. These clubs ensure that every member of the family has an unforgettable holiday.

Places to visit


Begin in the vibrant heart of Male, a city brimming with culture and history. Explore the wondrous Hanifaru Bay or experience the magic of Vaadhoo Island at night as bioluminescent waves light up the beach. Then, uncover the thriving coral reefs of Ari Atoll, a haven for snorkellers and divers of all ages.

Immerse your family in local traditions and charming island life, relish the serenity of secluded sandbanks, and savour exclusive private island escapes. These extraordinary destinations complement your stay at a luxury Maldivian resort, ensuring an enchanting and unforgettable family trip.
