Family adventures in the Maldives with Sun Siyam

Swim with the local wildlife

The Maldives is famous for its diving and there are some very special sites in the waters at Olhuveli, including the Kuda Giri shipwreck where glassfish swirl around the captain’s hut and machine room, and Kandooma Thila where you can catch glimpses of white tip and grey reef sharks, green turtles, and eagle rays. But you don’t need to be a diver or seasoned snorkeller to see rays at Olhuveli; you can watch groups of mantas feasting on their plankton dinner every night from the jetty.

A plethora of family water sports

Among the vast array of activities that make Olhuveli an amazing choice for families travelling with older kids are kite surfing, catamaran sailing, and windsurfing. Under-15s are considered children here (at most resorts it’s those aged 12 and under), and kids stay free of charge in the same room with two paying adults and eat free of charge on the same meal plan their as parents.

Dine in style as a family

At Iru Fushi, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining thanks to an incredible 15 restaurants and bars. The main buffet restaurant Iru even has a family area, a kids’ dinner buffet, and a play area, as well as a beach terrace. Younger guests also love La Cremeria ice cream parlour, the Fluid family pool bar, and the fun Japanese iron-griddle restaurant Teppanyaki.

Luxury facilities for the whole family

Iru Fushi is great for both couples and families, as there’s a separate adults-only infinity pool and a family-friendly pool with a paddling section close to the family villas and the kids’ club. When you fancy some ‘me time’ while the children are making new friends, head to the award-winning Spa by Thalgo which offers more than 160 treatments plus a full wellness programme.

AMOH Rhodes is raising the bar for Greek island stays

24 April 2026

Opening in spring 2026, AMOH, A Luxury Collection Resort, Rhodes is set on a private peninsula near Lindos, with wide views across the Mediterranean and direct access to two sandy coves. It’s designed as a place to slow down and spend time well, whether that’s with family, a partner, or simply switching off for a few days. The focus is on space, privacy, and a strong sense of place, rather than overcomplicating the experience.

Spain is even better outside the summer months

24 April 2026

Spain in summer often means busy resorts, packed city centres, and temperatures that can make even short walks feel like hard work. Visiting in spring or autumn changes the pace completely. Days are still warm and bright, but without the intensity, which makes it far easier to enjoy everything from sightseeing to long, relaxed meals outdoors. You will also notice fewer queues at major attractions, more availability at popular hotels, and a general sense that you can take your time rather than plan everything around the crowds.

Beyond the beaches of Nassau & Paradise Island

24 April 2026

Nassau & Paradise Island are often associated with their beaches, but there’s much more to the destination than a typical sun holiday. It combines history, food, activities, and events in a way that makes it easy to build a varied itinerary. In 2026, there are even more reasons to visit, including the Bahamas Culinary & Arts Festival at Baha Mar from 21st to 25th October.
