The ultimate family adventure … in the Maldives!

Maldives, Asia

The Maldives has a reputation for incredible indulgence and luxury … for couples! But beyond the sunset suppers, overwater bungalows and private pools, there are many havens for families where beachfront villas are nestled amongst tropical gardens and overlooking calm lagoon waters, and kid’s clubs make the most of the natural wonders around – coconut painting, beach scavenger hunts and even kid’s yoga classes.

Opened in November 2024, Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives is the Maldives’ newest family resort where children get the special treatment. From the expansive water park, meandering lazy river, and exciting kids’ club, to the dedicated candy-themed kids spa with edible treatments, boundless fun and thrilling activities every moment at this underwater-world themed family paradise, is designed for family fun.
