Villa Park, set on the picturesque island of Nalaguraidhoo in South Ari Atoll, captivates visitors with its long stretches of white sand, a turquoise lagoon teeming with life, and leafy coconut groves that bring shade and serenity. Its scale and variety of spaces give families the freedom to explore and reconnect, making it one of the Maldives’ most versatile island escapes.
At the TTM Awards & Gala 2025, Villa Park was named Best Family Resort, a recognition of its ability to create holidays where every generation feels at home — from spacious family villas and thoughtful amenities for younger guests to imaginative kids’ programmes and engaging activities that allow parents to unwind while children are entertained, making it a true haven for shared experiences.
Accommodation at Villa Park has been thoughtfully designed with families in mind. The Two-Bedroom Family Beach Villas provide space and comfort with direct access to the shore, while the Two-Bedroom Beach Pool Villas link two private villas, each with its own pool, offering both privacy and togetherness. Options such as Deluxe Beach Pool Villas, Lagoon Beach Villas and classic Beach Villas ensure flexibility, with generous layouts, open-air showers, terraces and proximity to the lagoon, giving families the perfect base for their island stay.
Dining at Villa Park is designed to suit every palate, with restaurants and bars offering flavours from across the globe. Parents can enjoy à la carte menus and themed evenings, while children are well catered for with kid-friendly dishes and snacks. Buffet favourites like Maaniya and Southern Star keep mealtimes varied and relaxed, while the all-inclusive plan adds ease for families. Unique spots such as ZERO, a treetop restaurant featuring fresh, plant-based dishes, create memorable experiences, complemented by Italian dining at Al Pontile, Thai specialities at Sun Star, live theatre at the Teppanyaki counter, and casual beachfront bars where families can come together.
The Park Players Kids’ Club is at the heart of the family experience, standing out as one of the largest in the Maldives. Open daily, it features workshops, crafts, island tours and supervised games that inspire creativity and discovery. Younger children can rest in the nap lounge, while older ones take part in painting, coconut weaving, origami and face painting. With a safe and stimulating environment overseen by attentive staff, the kids’ club gives children independence and fun while parents enjoy time to themselves.
Beyond the kids’ club and villas, Villa Park offers an extensive range of amenities and entertainment tailored for all ages. A children’s pool sits alongside the resort’s free-form pools, while tennis, badminton and other sports courts are available with floodlighting for evening play. On the water, families can enjoy snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, reef walks, diving excursions and fishing or dolphin trips, with the resort’s dive centre arranging safe, family-friendly marine encounters. As evening falls, the island comes alive with themed nights, cultural shows, live music and performances, while those seeking quieter pastimes can make use of a games room, video parlour, snooker, table tennis and board games. Even exploring the island is made easy with buggy services and shaded pathways, ensuring comfort for families with younger children.
With its combination of spacious family accommodation, diverse dining, imaginative kids’ programming and a wealth of activities on land and sea, Villa Park has set a benchmark for family travel in the Maldives.
