The Maldives' first fully integrated island destination becomes the go-to choice for families travelling with grandparents, teens and young children.
CROSSROADS Maldives, the country's first multi-island integrated leisure destination, is emerging as one of the Maldives' most accessible and versatile options for UK multi-generational holidays. Offering three distinct resorts connected by a shared entertainment district, world-class marina and dining hub, CROSSROADS is challenging the notion that the Maldives is only for honeymooners.
With UK families increasingly prioritising together-time and easy logistics for grandparents, kids and teens, CROSSROADS provides an experience unlike any other in the Indian Ocean.
A Maldives Holiday Without the Stressful Transfers
Located just 15 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport, CROSSROADS is one of the few Maldivian destinations that avoids the need for seaplanes — often a barrier for older travellers or families with young children.
This makes it a rare long-haul destination suitable for all ages, and significantly more accessible for UK travellers.
Three Resorts, One Destination — Something for Everyone
Families can choose from:
- SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton – ideal for stylish, laid-back family stays.
- Hard Rock Hotel Maldives – a hit with teens thanks to music-focused experiences, watersports, and vibrant social spaces.
- The Marina @ CROSSROADS – a shared island hub featuring 14 dining venues, boutique shopping, spa and wellness experiences, and cultural attractions.
This multi-resort set-up means that each generation can tailor their own holiday style, while still coming together effortlessly throughout the day.
A Game-Changer for Families with Teens and Kids
From PADI dive courses, watersports and marine conservation programmes to cooking classes, beach clubs and music workshops, CROSSROADS offers a level of activity diversity rarely found in the Maldives.
Younger children are entertained in award-winning kids clubs, while teens gravitate towards the beach activities, music lab and social hangouts — solving the perennial family travel issue: “How do we keep the teenagers happy?”
Designed With Grandparents in Mind
Grandparents can enjoy:
- Gentle activities such as sunset cruises, cultural workshops and nature experiences
- Easy navigation between islands via walkways and scheduled buggies
- A wide selection of dining options that don't require long walks or boat trips
The layout allows multi-generational families to stay connected yet independent, with ample space for privacy and moments together.
As the festive season approaches, CROSSROADS continues to welcome guests with a calendar of elegant celebrations, from gala evenings and ocean-inspired wellness to family discovery programmes and creative workshops — a timely reminder of the destination's ability to transform seasonal travel into something truly meaningful.
