Maldives Family Holidays

The Maldives is known as an idyllic destination for couples and honeymooners but has seen a big rise in popularity in recent years as a great destination for family holidays.

The Maldives appeals to families because of the sheltered swimming lagoons, isolated island settings, food inclusive offers and for the many resorts with children's facilities.

With direct flights from the UK in season with British Airways and excellent connections with Emirates and Qatar Airways among others, the Maldives is also a very convenient long haul destination for families.

As with all of our All Family Holidays to the Maldives, these can be tailored to suit you, so just let us know your preferences.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to the Maldives.

Typically for the Maldives we will use British Airways for direct flights to the Maldives between November and March.

Sri Lankan Airlines is also a great option for flights to the Maldives, especially of course if combining the Maldives with a Sri Lanka tour.

The flying time for direct flights is around 10 hours, making the Maldives a little shorter flying time than going to South East Asia.

We also commonly use Emirates via Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha and Etihad via Abu Dhabi. These all allow stopover options in the Arabian Gulf to create a multi-centre holiday.

Regional connections from across the UK are available.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of resorts in the Maldives, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique & luxury hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller luxury hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We understand that choosing a resort in the Maldives can be a bit bewildering, especially as they all look so similar!

That's where our expertise can help - it's always useful to speak to someone who's been to lots of different islands in the Maldives.

Do I need a visa for the Maldives?

If you're travelling on British Passports, no visa is required for stays of up to a month.

Please double check before travel however as visa requirements are subject to change at any time.
