Ayada Maldives

Ayada Maldives is a five-star resort on Maguhdhuvaa Island in the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, offering a calm and family-friendly retreat. The property features 122 spacious villas and suites, many with private pools and butler service. Guests can choose between traditional water villas over lagoons or beach villas surrounded by tropical greenery, making it a good choice for families seeking a peaceful ocean escape.

Families with children aged four to twelve may enjoy the supervised Kids' Club, which includes a dedicated house and a weekly calendar of creative activities like sandcastle building and nature hunts. The resort provides a shallow children's pool, an outdoor playground, and arcade games for entertainment. While the children's club is free, babysitting and supervised activities are available for an extra charge. Highchairs are available for younger guests, and family rooms can be requested to accommodate larger groups.

Parents can relax at the large spa featuring hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, and private treatment villas, though reservations are required and guests under 16 are not permitted. Dining options include six restaurants, bars, and a swim-up bar, with a free daily manager's reception available. Practical notes include a 2 PM check-in time and a surcharge for rollaway beds. Guests should note that outdoor terraces may not be suitable for all children, so it is worth checking with the hotel before booking to confirm room suitability.
