What better way than experiencing one of the best trips of your life with people you love most. That’s right! Imagine you Jet-off to a foreign land about to surf some of the best waves you’ve ever seen with your whole family right by your side. Take your kids out for their first experience on a surfboard, spoil your partner with a romantic “quality time” dinner under the stars while your little ones are well taken care of by the staff of the resort are only two of the perks when you book a family holiday with LUEX. Take the hassle out of traveling and just enjoy making memories with your family.
One of their slogans kind of gives it away. "Family is at the heart of all Six Senses cultures and communities, which is why we do everything we can to preserve the joy that it generates.”
Six Senses Laamu is one of the most family-friendly resorts in the Maldives with a great selection of water sports and organized kids' activities to keep you happy at whatever you choose to do without having to worry about the mini members of the family.
There’s nothing more rewarding than spending quality time with your loved ones and Six Senses is taking it to a whole different level by providing family barbecues, planned by your butler and prepared by our resort chef, or marine biology classes for the soon-to-be scientists of the family.
Niyama Resort is a playground for the whole family, whether out in the surf or on land with plenty of cool things to do for young and old. The kid’s club is next level and THE spot on the island where little ones reign. Set in the heart of the island, the Explorers kids club caters to the imaginations of all ages.
But it doesn’t stop there for the young explorers of the pack. Niyama encourages kids to immerse themselves in the eye-opening natural and cultural beauty of the Maldives by providing everything, from Dhivehi lullabies to dolphin scouting trips.
This barefoot luxury retreat is a one-of-a-kind holiday experience perfect for kids. Blending heart-warming service with out-of-this-world service opportunities, Sonevafushi will take your family on a journey that lets you fulfill every childhood imagination.
Don’t believe us? Then let South Asia’s biggest kids club do the taking for us instead! Covering an area greater than six tennis courts, it screams “paradise”. The Den hosts two shallow, family-friendly pools, an eight-meter tall pirate ship, a giant musical floor piano, a stage for the youngest of entertainers and more than 8,000, yes, 8,000 lego pieces.
But that’s just the beginning. Beyond the Den, children and adults alike have a huge arsenal of activities and adventures available at their fingertips.
And just in case you need to bribe your young ones for some reason, there is a free chocolate parlor and ice cream bar that might just do the trick.
Deep in the heart of the Southern Atolls lies another family favorite. Ayada Maldives provides a fully equipped Kid’s Club that lets you go “child-free” (if you want) from 9 am to 6 pm every day.
The pool and center stage will take care of some of the fun but no doubt the fan-favorite among the little crowd is the playground area with a next-level jungle gym.
Be aware, your little ones might never want to leave but besides making memories and friends at one of the greatest kids clubs in the Maldives, there are an array of fun and engaging activities on tap for the young explorers. Have we mentioned cooking classes, face painting or science classes diving into the unique flora, fauna and marine life of the Maldives yet?!
Three words. Ultimate Family Experience! Anantara Dhigu offers a one-of-a-kind, luxury resort experience that's just right for kids. The Dhoni Club gives parents the chance to enjoy a few “childen-free” days (if they want) by providing kids with everything their little hearts desire. We think that hermit crab racing, cooking classes, kite flying and themed treasure hunts sound pretty fun, right?
But that’s only just the beginning. Older kids will love the enormous choice of water-sport activities, free snorkeling gear, deep-sea fishing and of course, some of the best surf around.
If Portugal with kids is your jam, then Martinhal Beach Resort is your final destination. They have five, yes, five..clubs providing kids as young as 6 months, all the way up to young adults (17 years of age), with their own slice of paradise.
Your young ones have the choice of a gazillion of fun activities that include everything from cooking classes and game rooms to pump tracks and sports academies. If there’s one place your kids want to be right now, it has to be Martinhal Beach Resort & Hotel.
Nacho, our Argentinian surf expert at LUEX, has chased waves across Latin America, Indonesia, Fiji, and the Maldives. His business background comes in handy, but surfing is what drives him. When he's not helping clients plan their dream surf trips, you'll find him buzzing around the office, charged up on coffee. His favorite waves are in the Mentawais, where he found his definition of perfection. At LUEX, he uses his surf expertise to help others score epic waves, always ready to swap stories over a fresh brew.
It doesn't matter whether you are a super-fit active family group of experienced surfers or if none of you have ever ridden a wave in your life. This immense category is simply splitting at the seams with options for families of all sizes and all abilities and whether you are looking for a beachfront budget option that won't break the bank or an ultimate luxury stay at a classy resort, then you will be sure to find it here.
Our options in the family surf holiday group are so vast that the world can truly be your oyster – from Bali to Brazil and the Maldives to Micronesia – you can spend your holiday based on land or roving tropical seas on-board a surf charter boat. You can even go on a surf safari with a road trip or arrive at your day's breaks in a seaplane.
Every parent knows that keeping the kids happy is an essential ingredient of a successful family holiday but achieving that here will be plain sailing with such a tantalizingly diverse range on offer. Family surf vacation options come crammed with a range of facilities and amenities which include full schedules of activities and entertainment programs specifically aimed at kids of all ages – including junior surf camps - so it is highly unlikely that you will hear those dreaded words - 'mum, I'm bored'. There are even childcare and nanny services offered so that mum and dad can grab themselves some 'just us' time either out on the waves or out on the town.
Because the destination choices in this category are so varied so too will be the surf conditions which you might encounter and the surf seasons which affect them. By far the largest number of our family surf trips are based in either Indonesia or the Maldives – both of which offer tropically warm water, idyllic beaches and exotic locations, with wave types ranging from mellow beach breaks to heavy, hollow coral reef breaks best suited for advanced and pro level surfers only.
Whether you arrive as a complete beginner, an intermediate level surfer looking to up your standards or an experienced surfer in search of world class waves – everything is possible here with seemingly endless surf destination choices.
Family surfing holidays are suitable for every level of surfer - even parties made up of mixed abilities - and no matter what the size of your hard-earned bank balance you will find plenty of choice. You can easily recline in the lap of total luxury for the whole duration of your trip, enjoying fine wining and dining and pretending you are royalty. However, don't assume that if your holiday funds are more limited so too are your options – you couldn't be more wrong. Surf camps, surf resorts, surf charter boats and everything else on offer also come in the budget to mid range categories.
