Featuring 48 water villas, the Beach House Maldives – A Waldorf Astoria Resort is unusual in several ways, and a perfect hotel for honeymoon couples seeking an upscale destination that is out of the way. Its location is part of the key to the solitude, as you actually have to fly to Malé International Airport, and then a 55-minute flight to Hanimadhoo Airport before you board the speed boat that takes you to the Beach House.
The fact that it takes longer to reach than nearly any other resort might seem like a negative if you are in a rush to sit in a hammock, but most guests feel that it's a positive as it gives them amazing views of the Maldives before settling into a quiet corner of their own.
Hello Roger,
We are a family of four with kids aged 8 and 5.
We are planning our trip in the last week of August.
How’s the climate during this period and how many days it is advisable stay?
I would like to know about some good kid friendly and all inclusive resorts with good deals.
TIA
Madhu,
The weather in the Maldives is almost the same all year round, although there are actual variations from island to island because these resorts stretch several thousand kilometers from north to south. My advice is to choose a resort that you might like and then check the reviews from that same month last year and the year before to see what previous guests said about the weather. In most cases guests don’t mention the weather because it’s warm every day and the rain storms tend to last only 20 minutes or less. From late May through early July the rain can last for hours in certain parts of the Maldives, but in August the storms will be over quickly and sometimes they happen overnight.
Here are our favorite Maldives resorts for families with great activities for kids (and adults).
Our favorite all-inclusive resorts for great rates is Meeru Island, and it’s pretty good for families, though not the best.
Aside from that one it’s hard to know which is the best deal because most resorts tend to offer great deals when they are a bit slow, and keep prices high when they are booked up more. It’s best to just go into Agoda.com and put in your travel dates to see which resorts are offering the best all-inclusive deals for that period. Have a great trip. -Roger
