Exclusive Maldives Family Vacation with a Dubai Stopover

Inspirational island getaway family holiday to Maldives and United Arab Emirates

This luxurious itinerary combines a family holiday at one of the Maldives flagship resorts, Anantara Kihavah and its array of natural wonders, with a few days stopover in dazzling Dubai and its wealth of man-made attractions. First up, Dubai. Staying at the sumptuous Ritz-Carlton Dubai, you are handily placed for many of the key family attractions, including Wild Wadi and Aquaventure waterpark's, KidsZania, IMG Worlds of Adventure theme park, as well as the Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world.
