The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort Is All About Family with The New Summer Package

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort Summer Package

In a destination as synonymous with romance and overwater indulgence as the Maldives, travelers often assume that families come second. But tucked within the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll, The Westin MaIdives Miriandhoo Resort now redefines the way families travel—offering a summer package that blends wellness, creativity, and open-air adventure into one seamless experience.

Instead of treating kids as afterthoughts, The Westin’s new ‘Family Fun Summer’ offer places connection at its core. The package, available to book through June 15, 2025 for stays through December 20 2025, invites multigenerational travelers to explore, unwind, and reconnect. Whether guests bring grandparents, children, or lifelong friends, the experience welcomes them with comfort and ease.

Private Villas Designed for Rest and Reconnection

The resort anchors the experience in its 69 villas, a mix of beachfront and overwater sanctuaries, all offering private pools and uninterrupted Indian Ocean views. These villas invite guests to slow down and reset. Each one features Westin’s signature Heavenly® Bed, a curated Sleep Well Menu, and lavender balm to support restful sleep. Families traveling with children also benefit from the Savvy Sleep Kids Manual, which helps little ones establish nighttime routines—even while on island time.

Stress-Free Dining for Every Generation

The package also removes stress from mealtimes. With a complimentary Full Board upgrade, families can enjoy fresh, seasonal cuisine throughout the day—starting with generous breakfast spreads, continuing with relaxed lunches, and winding down with themed dinners by the ocean. The resort welcomes children under 12 to stay and dine free, making the experience even more accessible for families.

Adventures That Bring Everyone Together

Beyond the dining table, the resort encourages families to explore together. Budding artists can join local creatives at the Ocean Art Studio, where painting sessions help them turn the Maldives’ vibrant marine life into personal keepsakes. Families can also venture out on a Sunset Dolphin Cruise, where playful dolphins leap and twirl beneath a fiery sky. Adventurers can dive into water sports like snorkeling along coral reefs or paddleboarding across glassy lagoons.

The resort also keeps guests moving with purpose. Families can participate in sunrise or sunset yoga, unwind through guided Yoga Nidra, or compete in beach tennis—all while enjoying the island’s tranquil rhythm.

Marriott Bonvoy members can earn a bonus 25,000 points when they book a multi-bedroom villa, adding another layer of value to the stay.

Through this package, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo doesn’t just accommodate families—it prioritizes them. The resort invites guests to slow down, move with intention, and make space for togetherness in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations.
