A place like the Maldives attracts all kinds of people who look for all kinds of Maldives holiday packages. But just what are those holiday packages or rather what should you look for when determining the kind of resort you go to? There are broadly eight kinds of packages in the Maldives but we’ll focus on the top six as these are what we’re asked most about.
Luxury villas in the Maldives should offer complete privacy. Whether it’s a plunge pool area or private beach area. Yes you read that correctly; closed off, private beach areas. Your own personal piece of a tropical island… Bliss.If a resort isn’t offering lots of enclosed outside spaces then the trade off should be a large inside space – a space that feels like an apartment, with separate living and sleeping areas his and hers bathrooms.
We should make it clear that when we talk about kids we’re really talking about kids under 12 so that includes babies, toddlers and small children travelling with you on holiday in the Maldives but not particularly teens as they’re… let’s say more self sufficient!
OK here’s the thing; even if a resort doesn’t have babysitting services or children’s area it should at least make reference to the fact that families are welcome. The last thing anyone wants is to stroll onto Kuredu Resort with two tots in tow only to find the folks are all couples on their honeymoon! So keep that in mind and if in doubt, ask your travel agent. Maldives holiday packages for families can be found at places like Bandos Island not only offer babysitting service (including evening childminding) but they have a kids’ clubs too as does One and Only Reethi Rah. The Kids’ club aren’t like those found in the Mediterranean and nor should they be. The Maldives is tranquil and structured and so are the Kids’ club with One&Only Reethi Rah offering a timetable of events created by… you guessed it, the kids themselves! You should also look out for resorts that have children only pools as another sign that they cater for families
Maldives Holiday Packages for Surfing & DivingWe’ve a selection of pages on surf resorts in the Maldives, for all you surfers out there who delight in riding waves. But we haven’t forgotten another major attraction in the Maldives so you can check out our pages on diving too!
Surfing diving packages should come with free drop offs to dive sites daily, the dive school should be PADI qualified and there should be a medical facility and decompression chambers. Also check for a range of diving accessories available for hire/to buy or that it’s included in the diving package price… It’s also an idea to make sure that the type of diving offered suits your level of experience.
Find out if drop offs are part of the Maldive holiday packages offered as some resorts will charge you extra if you haven’t booked directly with a surfing or diving tour operator.
If you don’t want the romance laid on too thick then look for resorts that have a reputation as being a couples’ oriented resort.
