The Standard Maldives , Huruvalhi, Maldives| Take the Family

This hip, playful hotel set on the tiny island of Huruvalhi a half-hour's exciting seaplane ride from Malé has a vast list of water sports on offer, including diving (with PADI Bubblemaker courses for children from eight years and up), snorkelling and glass-bottomed boat trips to see the underwater world.

When it comes to the right villa for you, choose between being right by the beach, so kids can play on the sand, or having an overwater villa with direct access to the ocean or the lagoon. When you're not making memories together, younger guests can make new friends at the kids' club or in the teen activities.
