Incredible blue turquoise water, over-water villas, private beaches, spectacular snorkeling and more can be found in the exotic Maldives. The Maldives is a collection of atolls (or chain of islands) in the Indian Ocean in Southeast Asia, and it surely a bucket list destination for any family. The adults will surely want to be pampered, but the kids will find plenty to do, too. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives for families.

Kuredu Island Resort & Spa - Lhaviyani Atoll

This all-inclusive resort in the Maldives features two packages to choose from, and either is ideal for families. The Gold Packages offers unlimited drinks and breakfast, lunch and dinner in specific restaurants, based on what villa or bungalow you are staying in. Afternoon tea, one round of golf, a one-hour spa treatment, a sunset cruise, and snorkel, scuba and windsurfing lessons are also included in the Gold Package. Plus, you'll enjoy complimentary use of the tennis and volleyball courts and kayaks.

Kurumba Maldives - North Male Atoll

Considered one of the best family-friendly Maldives all-inclusive resorts, Kurumba takes care of the kiddos - even before guests arrive. Parents can pre-register children when booking a stay at this Maldives all-inclusive resort, and children will instantly be welcomed upon arrival. The supervised Majaa Kids Club is ideal for children ages 4 to 13. They can enjoy games, crafts, beach time, dance lessons, fish feeding, movies and more.

There are two children's pools, an outdoor playground, Wii video games, and water activities like kayaks, water skiing and paddleboards. Parents will love the ability to request a stroller, highchair, bottle warmer, baby cot or changing station. Babysitters are also available for an additional cost. Children's menus can be found at the restaurants, and a less expensive, all-inclusive rate for children is available.

There are a variety of all-inclusive packages to choose from at Kurumba, but our favorite is the Dine Around Package. It includes the standard food and drink and a choice of a few excursions, but the ultimate bonus is that it includes complimentary laundry service. For every four nights of your stay, you can request a wash and fold laundry service for up to 25 items. For those on laundry duty, THAT is luxury! Your vacation will basically continue when you arrive home because you won't have to do laundry.
