February 2021: Familymoon Fun at The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah

We've all heard of honeymoons, but now there's a new phenomenon on the cards for families - say hello to the 'familymoon', a blend of family and honeymoon. With many couples already having children by the time they get married or becoming a 'blended' family with children from previous relationships, not everyone wants the traditional honeymoon. As well as taking children on a familymoon, some couples choose to take their wider family too, with relatives including grandparents jumping on board. In an increasingly fast-moving world, multi-generational travel has become hugely popular, offering families the chance to step off the wheel and spend time with those who matter most (and for parents, taking the grandparents potentially means free childcare!) Whatever the reason, there is no better way to spend time with your favourite people than booking a trip to The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah.

Combining the perfect combination of quality family time, fun for the kids and rejuvenating relaxation for the adults, a visit to The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah is a passport out of the ordinary and into the awesome. As well as 173 spacious beach, lagoon and water villas overlooking the ocean with private pools, Dhigurah also has 12 two-bedroom beach and water pool villas, with more on-land options, perfect for families. There is also an abundance of dining options, perfect for grandparents, 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.

Additionally, those wanted to capture those precious moments can opt to book one of the talented and creative in-house professional photographers to make your Maldives magical experience worth sharing.
