Journey notes
Why this route works
Why does this itinerary fit travellers from Delhi?
This 6-night Maldives family package suits Delhi travellers because flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport reach Malé in under 5 hours. The visa-on-arrival policy removes the need for advance paperwork, and the November-to-April season coincides with Indian school holiday periods.
Indira Gandhi International Airport offers scheduled services to Velana International Airport in Malé, with direct and one-stop options available. Families travelling during December school holidays or the April summer break find this timing convenient. The package price starts at ₹1,20,000 for a family of four, covering flights, accommodation, and breakfast.
The 6-night duration gives families enough time to try multiple activities without feeling rushed. Tripstor selects resorts with dedicated kids' clubs and family room configurations on request.
What experiences does this package include?
This family package includes resort accommodation in a family room or two connecting rooms, guided snorkelling on the house reef, a glass-bottom boat excursion, a sandbank picnic trip, a dolphin-watching cruise, and access to the resort's kids' club facilities.
- 6 nights in a family room or two connecting rooms at a 4-star resort
- Guided snorkelling session on the house reef with equipment for all family members
- Glass-bottom boat excursion over the coral reef, suitable for non-swimmers
- Sandbank picnic trip by speedboat, with refreshments included

Who is this package best suited for?
This package is best suited for families of three to five members, including children aged 4 and above, departing from Delhi. The itinerary balances structured activities with free time at the resort, so parents and children can each choose how to spend unscheduled hours.
Families with teenagers benefit from the water sports options available at most Maldives resorts. Families with younger children benefit from the kids' club and the calm lagoon conditions at the selected resorts. The package is not recommended for infants under 2 years due to the speedboat transfer requirement.
How do the days unfold on this trip?
Day 1: Delhi Departure and Resort Check-In
Velana International Airport is the Maldives' main international entry point, located near the capital Malé. The family departs Delhi, arrives in Malé, and transfers to the resort by speedboat.
Day 2: House Reef Snorkelling
The house reef is a coral reef accessible directly from the resort's beach or jetty without a boat. The family joins a guided snorkelling session in the afternoon with equipment provided by the resort.
Day 3: Glass-Bottom Boat Excursion
A glass-bottom boat is a vessel with a transparent hull section that allows passengers to view the reef without entering the water. The family boards the glass-bottom boat in the morning, suitable for children and non-swimmers.
Day 4: Sandbank Picnic Trip
A sandbank in the Maldives is a small, flat island of white sand that emerges above the waterline, surrounded by shallow lagoon water. The family travels by speedboat to a nearby sandbank for a picnic lunch and free time in the water.
Day 5: Dolphin Watching and Kids' Club
The resort's kids' club is a supervised activity centre for children aged 4 to 12, offering games, crafts, and marine education sessions. Children attend the kids' club in the morning while parents have free time, and the whole family joins the dolphin-watching cruise at dusk.
Day 6: Free Day at the Resort
The final full day is unscheduled, allowing the family to use the resort pool, beach, and water sports facilities. Water sports such as kayaking and paddleboarding are available at an additional charge at the resort's water sports centre.
Day 7: Check-Out and Return to Delhi
Resort check-out is at 12:00 noon, with the speedboat transfer to Malé timed to the return flight. The family arrives back at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi the same evening.
What should you know before booking?
Indian families receive a Maldives visa on arrival, valid for 30 days, with no advance fee. Each family member, including children, requires a valid Indian passport for entry. Children under 5 years travel free on most Indian carriers but do not receive a seat without a ticket purchase.
Resorts in the Maldives charge a Green Tax of USD 6 per person per night, applicable to all guests including children above a certain age threshold set by each resort. Families should confirm the age threshold with Tripstor before booking. Most resorts also charge for lunch separately, which is not included in this package's breakfast-only meal plan. Tripstor provides a full cost breakdown before final payment is collected.
