Journey notes
Why this route works
Why does this itinerary fit travellers from Delhi?
Delhi families travelling to the Maldives benefit from visa on arrival entry, a 5-to-6-hour total journey time via a connecting flight, and a November-to-April travel window that matches school holiday periods in India.
Velana International Airport in Malé is the main entry point for international arrivals to the Maldives. The airport is connected to resort islands by speedboat or domestic seaplane, both of which are family-accessible.
Indian passport holders, including children, receive a 30-day visa on arrival at no charge. Children under 2 years typically travel on a lap-infant fare on the Delhi-to-Malé route.
What experiences does this package include?
This 5-night Maldives family package from Delhi includes resort accommodation for a family of four, daily breakfast, a guided snorkelling trip, a sandbank picnic excursion, and return airport transfers for all family members.
- 5 nights in a family room or two-bedroom beach villa at a family-friendly resort
- Daily breakfast for two adults and up to two children
- Guided snorkelling trip with equipment for all family members
- Sandbank picnic excursion — a half-day trip to a private sandbank by boat
- Return speedboat transfers between Malé airport and the resort for all guests
- Return economy class flights from Delhi to Malé for the full family
- Kids' club access at the resort (subject to resort policy and child age)
Who is this package best suited for?
This package suits families of three to four travelling from Delhi who want a structured 5-night resort stay with child-friendly activities and minimal self-planning. The itinerary includes two guided excursions and leaves remaining days free for the resort.
Families with children aged 4 to 14 will find the snorkelling and sandbank excursions age-appropriate. Parents who want a resort with a kids' club should confirm availability when booking, as club age ranges vary by property.
How do the days unfold on this trip?
Day 1: Delhi Departure and Resort Arrival
Indira Gandhi International Airport is the departure point for the family's connecting flight to Malé. The total journey from Delhi to the resort, including the speedboat transfer, takes approximately 7 to 8 hours.
The family checks in at the resort on Day 1 evening. Dinner on Day 1 is at the family's own cost unless a full-board upgrade has been selected.
Day 2: Resort Orientation and Lagoon Swimming
The resort lagoon is a shallow, enclosed body of water suitable for children to swim safely. The family spends the morning at the lagoon beach and water sports area.
The afternoon is free at the resort. Families can visit the kids' club or use complimentary non-motorised water equipment.
Day 3: Guided Snorkelling Trip
The guided snorkelling trip is a resort-led excursion to a nearby coral reef, lasting approximately 2 hours. A resort guide accompanies the group and assists children with equipment fitting.
The trip departs in the morning. The afternoon is free for the beach or pool.
Day 4: Sandbank Picnic Excursion
A sandbank picnic is a half-day excursion to a small uninhabited sandbank in the resort's atoll, reached by a short boat ride. The resort provides a packed lunch and soft drinks for the family.
The excursion typically departs at 9:30 AM and returns by 1:00 PM. The afternoon is free at the resort.
Day 5: Free Day at Resort
Day 5 is an unscheduled day at the resort. Families can book optional activities such as a glass-bottom boat tour or a dolphin-watching cruise at an additional cost.
Breakfast is included. Optional activities are payable directly at the resort activities desk.
Day 6: Check-Out and Return to Delhi
Resort check-out is at 12:00 noon on Day 6. The speedboat transfer to Malé airport departs after check-out, and the return connecting flight reaches Delhi in the evening or night.
What should you know before booking?
Delhi families booking this Maldives package should confirm the resort's child policy, including kids' club age range and whether children's meals are included or charged separately at the property.
The package price covers up to two children sharing the family room with two adults. A third child or a separate room for older children will increase the package cost. Tripstor provides a revised quote based on the exact family composition.
Families should carry a forex card in USD for resort extras. The Maldives has no direct flights from Delhi, so a connecting stop adds to total travel time.
