Top all-inclusive destinations in the Maldives

Baa Atoll

Family-friendly resorts set in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve known for its incredible marine life, the Baa Atoll raises the “baa” when it comes to island beauty. Expect action-packed kids clubs, snorkelling with the local sea life and unbeatable beaches – as well as spas, bars and plenty of ooh la las, whether you’re enjoying a floating breakfast or a moonlight cruise.

South Malé Atoll

Windsurfing, wakeboarding, waterskiing and submarine trips make South Male Atoll one of the most family-friendly destinations in the Maldives. And it’s close to Velana International Airport too. Pick a resort with sumptuous spa treatments, every kind of pool and a chock-a-block entertainment calendar to hold the attention of young minds – and older ones, too!

North Malé Atoll

From private villas or rooms with a view, an unforgettable family holiday to the North Malé Atoll starts almost when you get off the plane. Made up of over 50 islands, this is the same atoll as Maldives’ major airport. Beyond your island hotel, explore local markets, swimmable reefs and the historic mosque at your leisure.
