Sri Sharavi was our first stop in Sri Lanka and captivated us from the moment we arrived.  The calm and tranquil boutique property felt like an inviting oasis after a long travel day.  Located just minutes from Mirrisa Beach, it’s the ideal jumping off point for exploring Sri Lanka’s south coast.  Sleek stylish interiors accented with lush greenery and just steps to the crashing waves and stunning ocean view.  We loved our Ocean Signature Suite complete with decadent canopy bed, cozy lounge space and sprawling terrace overlooking the luxurious swimming pool and palm fringed ocean.  Luxury details were scattered throughout the suite from organic bath products to beautiful interiors.  The service was exceptional at Sri Sharavi where we were consistently met with a smile and the team were always on hand to help with dining or transport arrangements.  Food was a huge highlight of our stay including traditional Sri Lankan breakfasts, authentic cooking classes, and mouthwatering dinner and cocktails on the beach.  A luxurious blend of Sri Lankan charm and modern style at a private and picturesque property.

We were so excited to return to Club Med Kani for a second time.  The picturesque Maldives property is just a short boat ride from the international airport and brings all of Club Med’s vibrancy and service to paradise.  As always the friendly staff gave us the warmest welcome before reacquainting us with the resort’s facilities and showing us to our modern and comfortable beach villas.  The kids loved being just steps from the stunning clear blue ocean and we enjoyed the privacy of the villas while being within easy access to all the facilities.

Club Med Kani offers everything a family traveler needs for a five star stay. Refreshing main swimming pool, fun water sports and snorkeling excursions, an abundant house reef full of reef sharks and stingrays, delicious all day dining options, and an unbeatable kids club.

  The Mini Club is one of the top reasons I recommend Club Med Kani for families and it’s always highly rated by our children.  The incredible team not only plan a daily fun filled schedule but the majority of the activities take place outdoors and encourage little ones to make friends, play, and explore while enjoying the beauty of the Maldives.  Ever and River snorkeled with stingrays and reef sharks, went on daily sailing cruises, learned trapeze skills, and played a plethora of games with the amazing Mini Club crew.  Your children can even dine with the staff if you are looking to have a quiet date night.  They came away with new skills and friendships after our amazing stay. 

Club Med truly engages the guest and offers a fun community feel in the heart of paradise.  From amazing mouthwatering dining options to epic sunsets, nightly performances, an enchanted white party to bank full of memories for the whole family it’s hard to beat Club Med when taking the whole family to the Maldives.

It’s always an unforgettable stay with The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah.  The stunning overwater villas allow direct access to the beautiful house reef and an abundance of marine life which can be spotted from the private pool.  We love visiting as a family, cycling around the tranquil islands, delving into a variety of delicious fare at the huge range of restaurants, spending afternoons on the picturesque beach and sandbank, indulging in couples massages at the five star spa, and partaking in memorable excursions including an exciting dolphin cruise.  Our children always have a blast at the fully staffed Kids Club and we love the concept of being connected by a bridge to The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi.  During our stay we enjoyed colurful sunsets, saw turtles, stingrays, and dolphins, and made plenty of friends along the way.  The all inclusive package is one of the most extensive we’ve seen in the Maldives with incredible wines, cocktails, and liquors and a huge variety of international dining.  We always look forward to returning to The Residence and love the incredible team who always ensure we feel at home.  Highly recommend for families, couples, or groups looking for an epic Maldives experience.

Our second time back to Summer Island Maldives and it’s even more stunning than I remember.  The private and picturesque resort is an amazing price point for the barefoot luxury property.  The Premium Beach Villas are modern and comfortable complete with rustic outdoor bath, nightly turndown service, and just steps from the white sand beach.  Summer Island boasts amazing dining experiences from private beach dinners to bbqs in the sand, a full international buffet, and romantic overwater bar and restaurant.  We love the idyllic infinity pool and Nevi Bar is a beautiful relaxed spot to hang out at sunset with cocktails and live music.

The Blue Lagoon Project at Summer Island started in 2018 when the resort installed the world’s largest 3D printed coral reef at the Blue Lagoon right off the arrival jetty.  The island has one of the most abundant and lively house reefs we’ve experienced and they’ve done an amazing job at rehabilitating the coral that was damaged due to climate change.  Summer Island’s admirable eco efforts mean they don’t use single use plastics and utilise solar energy to ensure the preservation of their paradise.

It’s truly one of our favourite properties as a family and an incredibly tranquil and welcoming island.  The hospitality is friendly and accommodating and the natural beauty ensures you get a true taste of Maldives beauty.

Equator Village, located in the Addu Atoll, brings local charm to a postcard worthy rustic resort.  We loved the welcoming and friendly property, oceanfront villas, and refreshing lagoon style swimming pool. Their daily buffet served a variety of international and Maldivian flavors and the beautiful white sand shores were an idyllic spot to enjoy snorkeling and lazing beneath the palm trees.  A variety of excursions are available for guests from exciting dolphin cruises to a Maldivian culinary tour and dining with a local family.  A perfect choice if you’re craving a natural and ambient resort with a touch of local flavor.

Luau Beach Inn, located on the stunning island of Fulidhoo Island, is a perfect option for families looking for a more affordable, local experience when visiting the Maldives.  Our family has such a memorable stay with the friendly and welcoming property and felt right at home with the incredible family owned business.  The boutique and rustic property boasts comfortable and modern bedrooms complete with private balconies overlooking the turquoise ocean.  We stayed in connecting rooms ideal if you’re travelling with children and dined on a full board basis with delicious freshly prepared meals throughout the day.  There are relaxed communal areas for guests to relax and unwind indoors and outdoors, a professional dive center ready to arrange the best boat excursions around, and their beautiful rooftop restaurant with panoramic ocean views.  We loved chatting with the team about local traditions and the small yet picturesque island, and spending the afternoon on the pristine white sand bikini beach just steps from the inn’s entrance.  A true highlight of our stay was our private boat trip where we snorkeled with nurse sharks, turtles, and even had a manta spotting.  We ended the morning with a picnic on a secluded sandbank and were able to have one of our most memorable moments as a family during our trip.  Not only will you be staying on a postcard worthy island surrounded by crystal clear waters and abundant marine life but the entire crew at Luau Beach Inn will ensure a seamless stay and once in a lifetime Maldives experiences.

SAii Lagoon Maldives, part of the Crossroads Maldives, is a fun and picturesque five star location allowing you access to not only their five star facilities but also Hard Rock Maldives and the plethora of eateries and beach club at Crossroads.  After only a short boat ride from the international airport you’ll have access to a variety of beaches and pools, plentiful dining options, a long list of watersports and activities perfect for all ages.

The resort boasts a large selection of stylish villas and room categories.  We loved our spacious Family Beach villa complete with private pool, two connecting rooms, and just steps from the crystal clear ocean.  We spent days snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding, lounging poolside or enjoying the epic sunsets.

We had full access to Crossroads Marina during our stay, where there was a fully staffed kids club, Discovery Center where we learned about Maldivian culture and restaurants to suit any palate.  Book the Dine around All Inclusive Plan and choose to have meals and drinks at any of the venues throughout all three properties. We loved all the dining experiences including a private chef cooking session at Badhige located in their organic garden and an unforgettable dinner under the stars at Terra & Mar. Rent a bike to get around the island and don’t miss a relaxing massage date at the world class spa.

SAii is an ideal choice for all ages, groups, and multi generational travel.  A perfect choice if you crave a bigger more varied island in the Maldives.

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon is the perfect family friendly getaway in Paradise.  The five star island resort boasts beautiful beach and overwater villas, a plethora of dining options, interactive kids club, and pristine white sand beaches.  We loved the abundance of marine life on their shores and the incredible “Adopt a Reef” program where we learned all about corals and were able to plant our own in the abundant reef.  Whether you’re craving a decadent floating breakfast, sumptuous massage, evening with dolphins, or celebratory dinner under the stars the amazing team at Sheraton will make it happen. There’s something for all ages and the resort is easily accessible by boat from the international airport.
