Families travelling with tiny tots are now welcomed at Club Med Kani in the Maldives, as the all-inclusive resort lowers its age limit for young guests to six months. This change comes with supporting facilities and amenities to allow parents and caregivers to enjoy their holiday with ease.
Club Med Kani now offers a baby corner at The Velhi buffet restaurant, where organic purees from popular brand, Hipp, fresh milk, and a microwave machine are available for use. A dedicated toddler playground has also been added to the resort’s kids club.
Come 2025, the resort will launch a new family space where various activities can be enjoyed by children along with their parents and caregivers.
“These are all complimentary, and we’ve made these arrangements to ensure the (holiday) here is seamless for families with very young children,” said Rachael Harding, CEO of East, South Asia and Pacific at Club Med.
The extended welcome to young families is aligned with Club Med’s family-friendly focus, which is exemplified by carefully curated children’s programmes at Club Med family resorts around the world. These programmes are designed to not only offer entertainment, but also educational opportunities, and activities vary according to age groups.
Harding noted that Club Med Kani is a strong family orientated product, where 70 per cent of guests arrive with big families.
“I know that we all love putting our kids in the kids club, but equally important when you’re on holiday is to be able to enjoy time with your children,” she said, adding that the resort team is well aware that it could be a challenge for parents and caregivers to find something to occupy little ones all day.
“We understand this. We know that when families come with grandparents, not just parents, they want activities that can be enjoyed as a family. We run such programmes throughout the day, be it games, competitions or workshops,” she shared.
Club Med Kani has some 30 activities, and through its recent revamp added several new options. These include family paddle boats with slides at the back, and a multi-purpose basketball court and full soccer pitch.
Harding remarked that the extensive on-site programmes provide parents and caregivers peace of mind, with activities conducted under one roof and according to Club Med’s high safety standards.
