This Eid al-Adha, Discover the True Meaning of Togetherness at Four Seasons Resorts Maldives

Web Release20-05-2025
This Eid al-Adha, Four Seasons Resorts Maldives invites guests from the Middle East to experience a profound sense of peace, togetherness, and celebration. In a world filled with screens and schedules, Four Seasons Resorts Maldives offers families a chance to break free, explore the wild, and make memories that last a lifetime. From hands-on conservation programs and high-octane water sports to castaway yacht adventures and spacious beachfront retreats, these Indian Ocean escapes transform family time into shared adventures filled with discovery, connection, and stories worth telling.
Guardians of the Ocean
Hands-on marine adventures that ignite a passion for conservation
With more than 1,100 species of fish, 250 species of coral, and some of the world's most pristine marine ecosystems, the Maldives is a living classroom for curious young minds. At Kuda Huraa, the Junior Marine Savers program (8-12 years) introduces aspiring marine biologists to coral propagation, turtle rehabilitation, and dolphin research, while Landaa Giraavaru's Trainee Marine Biologist program (13-18 years) offers teens the chance to work alongside resident experts, contributing to pioneering conservation projects such as coral reef restoration and manta ray identification. It's a chance to become stewards of the ocean, gain hands-on experience, and make a lasting impact – all while having the adventure of a lifetime.
Breathe, Plunge, Explore
Family dive experiences for all ages – from first bubbles to deep-sea thrills
With PADI Five-Star Dive Centres at both Kuda Huraa and Landaa Giraavaru, families can dive into the unknown together. Thanks to a special dispensation from PADI, children as young as eight can skip the pool and go straight into lagoon-based Bubblemaker sessions, while teens and adults can earn their PADI Open Water certification in just two days, thanks to pre-arrival eLearning. With coral reefs covering more than 2,300 square kilometres (890 square miles) of Maldivian waters, every dive is a shared exploration into vibrant coral gardens, dramatic thilas, and coral-filled caves – all just a short boat ride from shore.
Ride, Paddle, Play
Catch waves, conquer currents, and share unforgettable surf moments
For families chasing the perfect wave, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa offers direct access to six world-class surf breaks, just a short speedboat ride from the resort. From beginner-friendly lagoon lessons to advanced 10-step Ride Clinics, there's a wave for every level. For those seeking the ultimate thrill, the Seaplane Surfing Safari delivers a bucket-list experience – flying to remote, empty breaks across the Maldivian wilderness with expert guides. It's a chance to share the stoke, conquer new challenges, and create unforgettable family memories – riding the same waves that draw some of the world's top surfers each year for the Surfing Champions Trophy.
From Courts to Castaways
Land-based adventures, private yacht charters, and unforgettable family memories
For those who prefer their feet on solid ground, both resorts offer on-site tennis coaching for players of all ages, while Landaa Giraavaru adds a twist with its exclusive padel court – perfect for fast-paced, family-friendly rallies. And when the urge for adventure strikes, families can set sail on a private yacht, with itineraries that include dolphin spotting, sandbank picnics, and snorkelling encounters with turtles and reef sharks. It's the perfect way to explore the Maldives' hidden corners and bond over the thrill of the unknown.
Home Away from Home
Spacious, residential-style Estates designed for multi-generational memories
When it's time to rest and reconnect, families can retreat to expansive multi-bedroom villas such as the Four-Bedroom Landaa Estate or the Three-Bedroom Kuda Estate. These private sanctuaries offer direct beach access, sweeping ocean views, and private infinity pools – perfect for starlit swims, sunset barbecues, and family breakfasts overlooking the Indian Ocean. Thoughtfully designed for multi-generational living, they provide all the comforts of home – with the added benefit of butler service, bespoke amenities, and unparalleled privacy.
Discover More Together
An exclusive family offer with value-packed experiences – perfect for making the most of every moment
For families seeking the ultimate bonding experience, the Discover More Together offer invites guests to deepen their connection through immersive adventures, shared discoveries, and meaningful moments. At Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, families can enjoy daily breakfast at Café Landaa or Blu Beach Club, a choice of a 30-minute Jet Ski ride or a 15-minute tube ride, a 60-minute padel tennis lesson, a dolphin cruise or sunset fishing excursion, a private marine biologist briefing with coral frame propagation, and a 60-minute family wellness experience at AyurMa – all tailored for up to two adults and two children under 12.
