Family holiday in Maldives — kids loved it, parents survived

Took the family to Maldives for 6 days and it worked better than I'd hoped. The kids were fascinated by coral reefs — more than I expected from children who usually resist sightseeing. Food was manageable: even the pickiest eater in our group found things to eat, and fihunu mas grilled fish went down well with everyone.

bioluminescent beaches kept everyone engaged and gave the trip a memorable high point. guesthouses on local islands have alcohol restrictions was the main practical difficulty but nothing that ruined anything. Would absolutely return with them.
