December 2019: Family Fun at The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah

With school holidays in full swing, planning the ultimate summer escape has topped everyone’s to-do list. Set on one of the country’s most beautiful atolls – Gaafu Alifu Atoll – adjacent to The Residence by Cenizaro’s first Maldives property, The Residence Maldives at Falhumaafushi, the newly opened resort, The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah offers the perfect family escape.

As well as 173 spacious beach, lagoon and water villas overlooking the ocean with private pools, Dhigurah has also introduced 12 new two-bedroom beach and water pool villas, with more on-land options, perfect for younger children. There is also an abundance of dining options, perfect for parents and kids to enjoy together. From all-day dining at The Dining Room and Cantonese creations at Li Bai, to Long Island Bar for dazzling sunsets and sharing plates and Mediterranean tapas at Café del Sol, there is something to suit every mood.

Giving children between the age of 3 and 12 a space to be creative and have fun, the Turtle Kids Club (open from 10 am to 5:30 pm) gives the smallest guests the freedom to explore and discover the magic of the island under the watchful eyes of the specially trained Kids Club team. The Kids Club’s vast playground includes daily interactive activities including yoga for kids, snorkeling, kayaking, table tennis, Dhivehi language practice, arts and craft, beach games, cooking classes, scavenger hunts and more.

With at least five, one-hour long activities available every day of the week, children can make friends or spend them bonding with their parents and siblings in inspiring surroundings. Movie time takes place daily at 4pm and babysitting services are also available at a fee upon request. Meanwhile, whilst little ones engage in thrilling activities at the Kid’s Club, parents can relax in the Spa by Clarins, a haven of holistic tranquility that heal the mind, body and soul.

Outside of the kid’s club, there are many other activities for families to enjoy together. The resort’s own PADI 5-Star Dive Centre offers a variety of classes and excursions for novices and experienced divers, from snorkelling in nearby reefs to advanced PADI Open Water Diver Courses. There is also the option to explore the underwater beauty in the house reef, or journey by dhoni, a traditional Maldivian boat, to several amazing dive sites within a one-hour radius. Dolphin cruises and fishing trips also provide hours of fun for the family to enjoy together.
