Anantara Dhigu Maldives: A Special Paradise for Kids

Discover an idyllic island getaway for the entire family filled with aquatic adventures and a “Family Special” package at this unique resort in the Maldives.

The Maldives ranks as one of the world’s most sought after island getaways with its crystal clear waters teeming with exotic marine life and post-card perfect beaches. Usually reserved for honeymooners or couples looking for an escape, the Anantara Dhigu Resort and Spa, Maldives has extended a warm welcome for entire families.

Anantara has created an adventurous and convenient “Family Special” package that offers the kids supervised activities at the Dhoni Kids Club. Kids can discover the island’s friendly wildlife inhabitants, join in a scavenger hunt, or create fun arts and crafts projects like paper weaving or sand art and coconut painting classes. For an exciting and educational excursion, Anantara Dhigu’s younger guests can experience essential coral reef conservation projects with a visit to the coral nursery with the resort’s resident Marine Biologist. For an unforgettable excursion, set out in search of dolphins with a family cruise. When parents need some alone time away from the kids, complimentary babysitting is included at a time of your choosing.

Family accommodation options include Sunset Family Villas and Two Bedroom Anantara Pool Villas nestled along a pristine stretch of beach. The Sunset Family Villas are ideal for families with young children. The luxurious accommodations include two bedrooms – one with a king size bed, the other with two single beds and room for a third single bed or baby cot – two bathrooms and a sundeck that extends out to a white powdery beach.  The parents’ bathroom features an open bathhouse garden with a rain shower, outdoor shower and a signature Anantara terrazzo bathtub.  The kids’ bathroom includes both a semi indoor and outdoor shower.

Anantara Dhigu Resort & Spa’s “Family Special” package affords families four nights’ accommodation in a Sunrise Beach Villa, with the option to upgrade to a Sunset Family Villa or Two Bedroom Anantara Pool Villa.

Rates: Start from $4,861 for the Sunrise Beach Villa. Anantara Dhigu’s family offering includes three complimentary meals a day for kids of six years and under when dining with parents.
