Family Villas in the Maldives: 10 Cozy Villas

Family holidays in the Maldives are a pleasure, especially when it comes to private islands. Almost every resort has a children's club, and some of them have designed entire towns for children of different ages. Another big advantage is the fact that in the Maldives you will have a separate villa, even with several rooms. Both you and your children will be comfortable - each family member will have their own corner for relaxation.

We have selected the best family villas in the Maldives. In the first part of the article we will tell you about the 5 best beach villas, and in the second - about villas on stilts.

Best Maldives Beach Villas for Families with Kids

Beach villas are more difficult to choose in the Maldives, as there are significantly more of them than water villas. It is also important to note that some hotels prohibit children under a certain age from staying in water villas for safety reasons. In general, according to our statistics, families with small children often choose beach villas. The best ones are below.

Kuramathi Maldives

In addition to being one of the best resorts for families with children, Kuramathi Maldives also has a villa with two separate bedrooms. It is quite difficult to find two-bedroom family villas in the Maldives, especially during the high season. Therefore, as soon as such an opportunity arises, be sure to take advantage of it. There are not many villas of this type on the island.

Two Bedroom Beach House - a two-story villa with two full bathrooms, bedrooms and everything you need for 6 adults and children. This villa is suitable for families with two or more children, especially if they are teenagers and everyone wants more personal space.

It is also important to note that the island has perhaps the best children's club in the Maldives. It is not even a club, but a whole children's town with a lot of entertainment for children of all ages.

Constance Halaveli

Constance Halaveli is a five-star hotel, unlike the four-star Kuramathi. It is still more luxurious and expensive, but the choice of family villas is wider. We recommend paying attention to the Family Beach Villa with two bedrooms. This is an ideal option for families with two teenagers: a private pool and beach, separate comfortable bedrooms, a modern bathroom.

Last but not least, the island has a luxurious program for children of all ages in the kids' club. Even in bad weather, children will have something to do, while parents can relax in one of the best spas on the islands.

Kurumba Maldives

Kurumba Maldives is a classic, one might even say ideal, family hotel. There are no water villas on the island, only beach villas. Whichever you choose, each one is designed for your comfort. If you are traveling with teenagers and they need a separate bedroom, pay attention to the two-story Family Villa with Pool or the Two Bedroom Kurumba Residence. The Residence is the most luxurious option in Kurumba and will be comfortable even for a very large family.

Kurumba is the first hotel in the Maldives, it is regularly updated. It is very convenient that the island is located just 10 minutes by speedboat from Male. For families with small children, such a short transfer is just a godsend. Separately, it is worth praising the team of animators working in the children's club.

The water villas at Soneva Jani are hard for any other hotel to compete with. First of all, thanks to the water slides that start on the second floor of the villa and go straight into the lagoon.
