Luxury Family Hotels

A wonderful 45-minute seaplane flight from Male airport takes you to the fine white sand beaches of the southern tip of Noonu Atoll and the Sun Siyam Iru Fushi resort, one of the few luxury resorts in the Maldives to feature a children's club. Noonu Atoll is renowned for its spectacular dive site and is home to spinner dolphins, reef sharks and abundant coral life.

White sands fringed by turquoise waters and the whisper of a breeze passing through palm trees are the hallmarks Cinnamon Dhonveli.

Offering luxury and beauty in equal measure, Finolhu Baa Atoll stretches out across four idyllic islands in the remote Baa Atoll, its reefs, submerged cliffs and thilas - small, underwater hills - create an underwater habitat where marine life flourishes.

In the sapphire-blue waters surrounding the Six Senses Laamu resort, dolphins, rays and parrotfish wait in welcome. On this tantalising, paradise island, guests enjoy the ultimate in sustainable luxury.

Enjoy an island adventure in beautiful tropical surroundings: swim, surf, picnic and play in a desert paradise stretching across three islands. Anantara Dhigu has been designed to provide a luxury holiday proposition for every member of the family.

In a picture-perfect setting of turquoise waters, white powder sand, and lush, green vegetation, Bandos Maldives offers a warm welcome for families and couples alike.

Located on the edge of the dive-site rich Lhaviyani Atoll, a 35-minute seaplane flight from Male, this island resort is just two kilometres long and under 100 metres wide. Banyan trees, thickets of lush greenery and the sweep of white sand beach are home to sea turtles, hermit crabs and fruit bats.

Fresh, fun and utterly relaxed, this contemporary resort is blessed with white beaches and possibly the best choice of watersports in the Maldives. The resort has a prime location for encountering whale sharks, rays and other marine life. The spa has personalised holistic therapies.

This classic barefoot resort is located on an island of coconut palms dissected by sandy lanes, and with one long overwater jetty. The design of Constance Halaveli echoes the building traditions of the region with thatched roofs, polished wood and a nod to the curved Dhoni boats.
