Why all-inclusive is the way to go for family holidays in the Maldives

All-inclusive resorts around the world are currently experiencing a huge surge in popularity, with guests increasingly seeking better value for money and the ability to enjoy a hassle-free holiday with no costly hidden surprises.

This includes luxury resorts in the Maldives, with properties across Atmosphere Core offering guests an elevated all-inclusive experience - featuring a la carte dining, premium drinks and wine programmes, excursions, water sports, and spa treatments.

Mei P Pun, the General Manager of Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives, says: “We’re noticing a growing trend of visitors to the resort, with more and more families coming and returning.

“With the pandemic behind us, guests want to have that perfect family holiday to make lifetime memories with their kids. All-inclusive resort plans make the holiday experience hassle-free, so that guests can spend time choosing whether to go out on the paddleboard for a third time or have a second dessert at no cost, instead of worrying about spending money.”

Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives and VARU By Atmosphere, two leading resorts in the Maldives by Atmosphere Core, have been designed with family experiences at the heart.

Both resorts offer a range of activities that parents and kids alike will enjoy, from unique dining experiences, secluded family suites, and supervised kid clubs.
