Some resorts are redefining beach getaways for families looking to reconnect with a blend of adventure and relaxation. Across its three island properties – Medhufushi Island Resort, Filitheyo Island Resort, and Hondaafushi Island Resort – there are enough activities and experiences to keep every member entertained and engaged.
Family fun at its best
Each resort is nestled on a lush tropical island, offering a paradise for beach lovers. Families can spend their days building sandcastles, splashing in the turquoise waters, and exploring the vast house reefs teeming with marine life. Hondaafushi Island Resort, located in the Haa Dhaalu Atoll, is renowned for its extensive house reef, which is ideal for snorkelling adventures that the whole family can enjoy. For thrill-seekers, Filitheyo Island Resort, located in the unspoiled Faafu Atoll, provides a range of water sports, from windsurfing and canoeing to stand-up paddleboarding, jet skiing, and even diving excursions for those eager to discover the vibrant coral reefs.

Excursions like island hopping are another highlight of the Maldivian experience.
