Unmatched Natural Beauty

Perhaps one of our favourite parts about planning a family holiday to the Maldives is the opportunity to marvel at all the wonders of this paradise, from the stunning turquoise waters to the fascinating flora and fauna. Regardless of whether you stick to dry land or dip below the water’s surface, there is nature for you to appreciate around every corner. 

Crystal Clear Waters and Pristine Beaches

Close your eyes and imagine building sand castles with your kids on the shore and then making a splash in the turquoise waters to cool off. When you book a getaway in the Maldives, you and your family will adore spending your days lounging in beach chairs in the sand and snorkelling around the crystal-clear waters. Then, once the evening rolls around, you and your kids will be treated to a front-row view of the stunning sunset, creating the perfect backdrop for your family photos. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Abundant Marine Life

While holidaying here, grab your snorkel gear and get ready to marvel at all the fascinating marine life just steps from your accommodation. You and your kiddos will be blown away at all the colourful fish and wildlife that call our reefs home. 

For even more opportunities to see the abundant marine life, book a snorkelling excursion through your Sun Siyam Resort, so you can witness underwater wonders around the different atolls and learn about the local ecosystem and marine conservation. Keep your eye peeled for dolphins, turtles, manta rays and more! While you’re at it, be sure to join the complimentary Finding Nemo experience, where you can explore clownfish in their natural habitat and see the famous orange and white fish that inspired the animated film. 

Interested in scuba diving? The Sun Siyam Resorts offer that, too! You and your kids can earn your scuba diving certificates at a Sun Siyam Resort and even explore a sunken shipwreck once you’re certified. 

Family Friendly Resorts

One of the best parts about booking a family trip to the Maldives is that family-friendly resorts cater to kids and adults alike. From kids clubs with age-appropriate activities to special kids-stay-for-free offers, you’ll find the best parent- and child-approved amenities at the Sun Siyam Resorts. 

Kid-Friendly Amenities

During your family holiday, it’s important to keep your kids entertained, and the Sun Siyam Resorts have you covered. With kids clubs like Kidz World and special events geared toward children, such as the Kidz Carnival and the Maldives’ biggest floating water park, your little ones will have a blast all holiday long.

Don’t worry; parents can get some time off, too. Many of these resorts also provide babysitting services, so you and your spouse can indulge in some alone time, such as treating yourselves to a romantic dinner for two on a floating platform or booking a couples massage at the on-site spa. 

Sun Siyam Resorts provides spacious accommodations and villas designed to comfortably fit your entire family, like the family deluxe villa with a private courtyard and pool. You can even score exclusive deals like the Kids are Kings special, where children under 15 can eat and stay for free!

Activities for All Ages

You’ll also find a wide range of activities for all ages that the entire family can enjoy together, from paddleboarding around the lagoon to watching movies outside under the stars. The Sun Siyam Resorts feature all kinds of watersports, like kayaking and windsurfing, along with educational and cultural activities, such as cooking classes and crafting. Enjoy playing tennis, swimming in the pool and joining beach volleyball competitions by day, and then marvel at the evening performances together by night.

Unique Family Experiences

In the Maldives, there is no shortage of interesting and unique experiences. Whether you simply take a hike on a scenic nature trail or cruise around in the lagoon, your family will be amazed at all there is to see and do here. 

Amazing Evening Activities

Between the warm temperatures and lovely landscape, you’ll want to spend all your time outdoors taking in this tropical paradise. And the good news is you don’t have to go inside after dark because there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy past sunset. 

For instance, you can book the Thundi Farikolhu dining experience, where you and your family will have your own private dinner table set up in the sand. Indulge in a gourmet meal served under the Maldivian moonlight, surrounded by the enchanting scenery. Then, after your unforgettable dining experience, you can remain outdoors and cosy up to watch an outdoor movie together on the beach. 

Educational Opportunities

There are so many opportunities to educate and inspire your kids while on holiday. During your family trip to the Maldives, introduce your children to authentic cuisine, teach them about marine conservation and discover the local culture together. 

Marine Biology Lessons

The Maldives is teeming with native plants and animals, and this is your family’s opportunity to witness nature’s wonders and learn how to protect the planet. While you’re here, you can take guided snorkelling tours with marine biologists and join interactive sessions that teach the importance of marine conservation. After learning about the sea life and the reefs they call home, you and your family are sure to leave the Maldives with a greater appreciation and respect for the islands. 

Cultural Immersion

A big part of your Maldives family holiday should involve learning about the local culture and traditions. The good news is that there are so many chances to immerse yourselves in the Maldivian way, from participating in cultural performances and making friends with the locals and learning how to cook the cuisine. Your family will get an inside look at what makes island life so special. 

Relaxation and Rejuvenation

Even though there are so many fun and exciting activities and excursions to keep you and your kids entertained all holiday long, don’t forget to make time for rest and relaxation. This is your getaway after all, meaning you should take advantage of the many rejuvenating activities, too. 

Spa and Wellness Treatments

Don’t forget to make time to relax. That might mean lounging by the pool with a tropical drink in your hand or finding your inner peace at a yoga or meditation class. What’s more, the Sun Siyam Resorts feature world-class spas where you can treat yourself to a blissful spa day, complete with massages, facials and body treatments to melt your stress away. The spas even offer special kid-friendly spa treatments for children, so the whole family can enjoy the many pampering services on island time together!

Private Family Time

Your Maldives family holiday allows you to reconnect with your kids and dedicate time to family bonding. Without the distractions of everyday life, you can give your kids your undivided attention while making memories that will last a lifetime. 

Learn to kiteboard together, ride a pony, explore the underwater world and take family selfies at sunset. Enjoy family dinners in the privacy of your own villa, book private excursions just for your family and simply share stories while walking on the beach. As you learn about the Maldives together, you just might learn more about one another along the way.
