Velaa Private Island has officially unveiled the redesigned Lha Velaa Kids Club, created in partnership with Worldwide Kids. The revamped facility introduces vibrant outdoor areas that encourage creativity, exploration, and imaginative play for young guests. A centerpiece of the redesign is the Velaa Seaplane, now the focal point of the playground, featuring slides and climbing elements that invite children to enjoy adventure-inspired, active play.
The new layout emphasizes movement and sustainability, integrating activities where children’s physical efforts generate energy. The Energy Studio, for example, allows young visitors to convert their motion into power, offering a screen-free way to combine fitness with interactive learning. Other interactive installations include the Shot Spot Wall Game by Playnetic, fully powered by kinetic energy, and Kylii Quest, a motion-responsive board game featuring Tokey and friends that tests speed, reflexes, and coordination. Listening Tubes enhance communication and sound exploration, while Tokey Quest Bands by Kylii Kids let participants collect activity points and engage with different layers of teamwork and discovery throughout the space. For quieter moments, Relax Haven offers a calm area where children and families can pause and unwind.
The redesigned Kids Club also features culinary and creative activities. The Cooking and Experiment Pavilion hosts hands-on cooking sessions and simple supervised experiments, giving children the chance to explore food preparation and basic science through practical, interactive experiences. Design Consultant Hettie Whittaker described the project as “the perfect blend of weaving in a new concept into an existing space. The challenge of finding a unique way to play proved to be a really interesting way to plan out the design. It has been a privilege to work on such a prestigious project.”
The updated Lha Velaa Kids Club represents Velaa Private Island’s ongoing commitment to offering thoughtful and engaging family experiences. The redesigned environment aims to nurture curiosity, creativity, and learning through play, marking an exciting new chapter for the resort’s family-oriented offerings.
