A Tropical Kids Paradise at Anantara Maldives Resort

The rustically luxurious Anantara Dhigu Resort is offering a “Family Special” package for a family of four (two children under 12) that includes free activities for your young ones, as well as some getaway time for parents in the beautiful Maldives.   

Villa rooms overlook Indian Ocean

Once you arrive at Male Airport, the resort’s complimentary speedboat picks you up and speeds across the Indian Ocean to your villa.  Begin your adventure-filled day with a gourmet breakfast buffet. 

Children are invited to a kid-friendly culinary class where they can cook their own food under adult supervision.  Kids can join the popular pizza-making class, where they dress up as a chef and are in charge of their own toppings.  They can also take advantage of their unlimited access to ice-cream.  At night, they can join parents and other guests around a well-supervised campfire, roasting s’mores.

The family package also includes a day on the Dolphin Cruise, named for the likely chance you’ll spot dolphins swimming by.   

For dinner, enjoy Anantara’s Dining by Design experience where you and your family are privately served by a butler and chef.  If your special night out for two, the resort organizes a dinner at a time of your choice while the children are babysat back at the villa.

Dhoni Kids Club at this Maldives Resort

Dhoni Kids Club

Every day can be a busy one, with the on-site Dhoni Kids Club. Small groups are supervised in their club house, while being introduced to traditional Maldivian culture and trying fun and engaging activities such as traditional paper weaving, henna tattoo, hair braiding, colored sand art, and coconut painting classes.  Kids can also tour Maldives’ wildlife around the property, play indoor and outdoor games and sports, and enjoy creative arts and crafts activities. 

Your children can also visit and learn about the island’s coral nursery and reef regeneration project with the resort’s dedicated marine biologist.  Paddling in glass bottom kayaks, children witness the undisturbed ecosystems and local sea life that depend on the coral for survival.

At the end of the day, the kids enjoy a couple more activities, then document their experiences through drawings before dinner.
