Is the Maldives only for honeymooners?

Often hailed as the quintessential honeymoon destination, the Maldives has long been synonymous with romance, serenity, and seclusion.

It’s not that the Maldives is only for newlyweds—but it’s rarely considered for family trips in Korea. The long flight time from Korea, especially with no direct route, certainly plays a part. But more importantly, it’s the “one island, one resort” concept that defines the Maldives.

While that exclusivity ensures ultimate privacy, it also means no access to local restaurants or stores. Everything—from meals to excursions—is priced at luxury resort rates.

For families, that adds up quickly because all-inclusive packages are typically based on two adults, with additional charges for children, including their meals and transfers as well. It’s easy to see why many parents have ruled out the Maldives as a viable family vacation spot.

In response, Kuda Villingili, a luxury resort in the Maldives that has been loved by Korean honeymooners since its opening, has introduced an extraordinary 2025 family promotion to ease the burden for Korean family travelers dreaming of a Maldives vacation. With this promotion, the resort is taking its first step toward becoming a favorite not only among honeymooners but also among Korean family travelers.

A Game-Changer: Kuda Villingili’s 2025 Family-Friendly Promotion

Most Maldives resorts have policies that a standard room accommodates two adults, and children under the age of 12 can stay without any additional charges. However, for children over the age of 12, all costs are charged at adult rates, including the accommodation, meals, and transfer fees, which are typically charged separately unless specified in special cases.

However, the 2025 family promotion at Kuda Villingili offers a significant difference. For children under 12, up to two children can stay for free, with all charges waived. For children between 12 and 18, a fee of just $500 per child provides the same all-inclusive experience as adults, with no additional costs during their stay.

While alcoholic beverages are not included in the all-inclusive package for minors, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks are available. This allows teenage children to enjoy refreshing ‘mocktails,’ such as a non-alcoholic mojito, so they can fully embrace the holiday atmosphere with their own drink in hand.

Why Kuda Villingili is Ideal for Family Travelers?

There are currently over 100 islands in the Maldives operating as resorts, and travelers must use domestic flights, seaplanes, or speedboats to reach these resorts from Malé, the capital island with the international airport. Kuda Villingili is located just 25 km from Malé Airport, making it incredibly convenient. After a long international flight, guests can be at the resort in just about 30 minutes by speedboat, which is a significant advantage.

While seaplanes or domestic flights often come with additional waiting times depending on the flight schedule, resorts like Kuda Villingili, which are accessible by speedboat, minimize waiting time, making it easier for families with young children to plan a comfortable trip.

Furthermore, Kuda Villingili offers eight different themed all-inclusive restaurants, ensuring that even picky eaters will enjoy their meals. This variety of dining options is another reason why the resort is well-suited for family vacations. Kuda Villingili’s excellent meal quality has been praised by many Korean honeymooners, and recently, Korean dishes like “Dakdoritang” (spicy chicken stew) and “Korean-style Crab Meat Pancakes” have been added, offering a unique opportunity to experience Korean cuisine in the Maldives.

Water Villa with Private Pool

Kuda Villingili’s iconic Water Villas with Private Pools offer the kind of dreamlike setting most only see in postcards. Built atop a crystal-clear turquoise lagoon, each villa spans 182 square meters—plenty of room for families to relax, play, and unwind.

Every villa features a 10-meter private pool, larger than what you’d expect even at other high-end luxury resorts. Kids can splash the day away while parents soak up the sun just steps away from the villa’s deck.

Beach Villa with Private Pool

Prefer the beach to the lagoon? Kuda Villingili’s Beach Villas with Private Pools are nestled along powdery white sands and surrounded by lush greenery for maximum privacy. At 152 square meters, they’re spacious and well-suited for families with young kids who want to run barefoot from their villa straight to the sea.

Especially, sunset-facing beach villas all face tranquil, shallow lagoons, making them perfect for safe swimming or even beginner snorkeling. These areas are home to vibrant coral gardens—a magical underwater playground for curious young adventurers.

Add to that the short transfer time, diverse dining options, and spacious villas, and it’s easy to see why Kuda Villingili is on its way to becoming not just a honeymoon haven—but the ideal family-friendly destination in the Maldives.
