Framed by the unspoiled beauty of Thilamaafushi Island in Lhaviyani Atoll, Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa offers an ideal setting for multigenerational travel. Surrounded by clear lagoons and pristine beaches, the resort has created a tropical escape where families can reconnect, recharge, and rediscover shared joy — from the calm of sunrise to the vibrant celebration of Au Soleil.

The resort’s family-friendly accommodations include spacious two-bedroom beachfront and overwater villas designed to balance privacy and togetherness. Each unit features a master bedroom and a twin room, a private pool, indoor and outdoor living areas, and direct access to the beach or lagoon. For larger groups, the three-bedroom Thilamaafushi Beach Villa provides elevated exclusivity with its own stretch of beach, infinity pool, Jacuzzi, and panoramic ocean access — perfect for family reunions or special occasions.

Days at Le Méridien Maldives unfold with curated experiences tailored to all age groups. Guests can explore the house reef while snorkeling, set off on dolphin-watching cruises, or enjoy friendly games on the resort’s padel court. In the evenings, a lively social atmosphere takes over with activities such as karaoke, bingo, and outdoor cinema beneath the stars.

At the heart of the resort’s cultural programming is Au Soleil — a sun-drenched gathering that brings families together with live music, refreshments, and playful poolside fun. With sweeping ocean views, children can enjoy homemade Le Scoop gelato while adults relax with summer-inspired beverages, creating the perfect backdrop for relaxed, sun-filled moments.

Sustainability and education are woven into the guest experience through the Marine Conservation Hub, where residents and visitors alike can engage with marine biologists to learn about local biodiversity and contribute to conservation efforts. Families are encouraged to explore the Greenhouse — one of the largest hydroponic gardens in the Maldives — through the Family Foraging experience. Here, guests hand-pick fresh produce and come together around the Harvest Table, blending mindfulness and curiosity in a hands-on culinary activity.

Young guests are immersed in a world of discovery at the Le Méridien Family Kids Hub, a space designed to blend entertainment with education. With activities ranging from arts and crafts and junior mixology classes to marine life sessions and a signature kids’ camping night, children are continuously engaged. Meanwhile, parents can find peace and privacy at the overwater Explore Spa, join Sip & Paint sessions at La Vie bar, or indulge in destination dining. Babysitting services are also available for toddlers and infants, allowing parents to unwind at their own pace.

Dining at Le Méridien Maldives is a journey in itself, with six distinct restaurants and bars offering diverse global flavors. Guests can sample Mediterranean cuisine at Riviera, enjoy Japanese and teppanyaki dishes at Tabemasu, savour wood-fired pizzas at Velaa Bar + Grill, or opt for international favorites at Turquoise — all crafted with fresh, island-sourced ingredients.
