Most overwater resorts cater with bungalows and villas that house a luxury bedroom in addition to a seating area and private deck, but did you know that there are also resorts that take it up a notch and offer two bedrooms, and sometimes even three bedroom suites? These resorts do have a higher nightly rate and are considered to be in the super luxury category, but are well worth the money if you have it.
This is because these larger villas are perfect for families and large groups, with many of the resorts below offering some sort of children friendly amenities, whether that be beds, a Kid's Club, or kid approved menu options. The resorts below also feature spas, dining options, and plenty of fun ocean activities to partake in. With that said, if you're traveling with a group of adults, you'll still find plenty of privacy as the bungalows listed below are very private already with either privacy walls or ocean separating each individual bungalow.
If you're traveling with four people and would prefer to stay in a one bedroom suite, then you'll want to look into the Bora Bora bungalows for four people and the Maldives villas for four people. For more information about overwater resorts in both Bora Bora and the Maldives that offer more than one bedroom, continue reading below.
Hello Roger,
We are a family of four with kids aged 8 and 5.
We are planning our trip in the last week of August.
How’s the climate during this period and how many days it is advisable stay?
I would like to know about some good kid friendly and all inclusive resorts with good deals.
TIA
Madhu,
The weather in the Maldives is almost the same all year round, although there are actual variations from island to island because these resorts stretch several thousand kilometers from north to south. My advice is to choose a resort that you might like and then check the reviews from that same month last year and the year before to see what previous guests said about the weather. In most cases guests don’t mention the weather because it’s warm every day and the rain storms tend to last only 20 minutes or less. From late May through early July the rain can last for hours in certain parts of the Maldives, but in August the storms will be over quickly and sometimes they happen overnight.
Here are our favorite Maldives resorts for families with great activities for kids (and adults).
Our favorite all-inclusive resorts for great rates is Meeru Island, and it’s pretty good for families, though not the best.
Aside from that one it’s hard to know which is the best deal because most resorts tend to offer great deals when they are a bit slow, and keep prices high when they are booked up more. It’s best to just go into Agoda.com and put in your travel dates to see which resorts are offering the best all-inclusive deals for that period. Have a great trip. -Roger
