2. Exclusive Lagoon Adventures

The pristine turquoise waters surrounding family-friendly Maldives resorts are a natural playground for children and adults alike. With shallow lagoons perfect for toddlers to paddle safely and exciting snorkelling excursions for older kids, there’s something for everyone. Parents can join in or relax, knowing their little ones are under expert supervision.

At Club Med Kani, a two-kilometre stretch of private beach offers you endless chances to unwind and fully experience what the island has to offer - from diving with marine life to thrill-seeking water sports - making it one of the best family-friendly Maldives resorts.

3. Sports & Games

Engage in activities that strengthen family bonds, such as sports matches and games* that challenge your skills and collaboration. Join forces with your children to take on other families in friendly competitions, creating cherished moments and enjoying quality time together.

With games like super pilot - a challenge where kids learn self-confidence, guided along a pathway with their eyes blindfolded – or let's roll! - where teams have to move balls along a path towards the finishing line – you and your children will be in for a treat!

Other than that, children from 4 years old can also take part in flying trapeze group lessons, while children from 6 years old can learn how to sail safely, with experts teaching them how to recognise and control winds and manoeuvre a boat alone.
