The Standard, Maldives Recognised as Best Family Resort in the Maldives at the Global Destination Awards 

The Standard, Maldives, Maldives, by Hyatt has been named Best Family Resort in the Maldives at the Global  Destination Awards by World Fashion Channel, recognising the resort’s distinctive approach to family travel, where island  adventures, meaningful connections, and experiences for all ages come together in an unforgettable setting. The award was  presented during the Global Destination Awards ceremony held in Moscow, Russia, bringing together leading hospitality  brands, travel professionals, lifestyle media, and industry figures from around the world. The annual awards celebrate  destinations and travel experiences that continue to make an impact on the international hospitality landscape. 

Located in the idyllic Raa Atoll, The Standard, Maldives offers a fresh take on family-friendly island escapes. While couples,  groups of friends, and solo travellers all find their own rhythm on the island, families are equally at home with a wide range of  experiences designed to bring generations together. 

From spacious two-bedroom villas and family-friendly dining venues to thoughtfully curated activities for younger guests, the  resort offers countless opportunities for both shared adventures and individual exploration. The Lil’ Shark Kids Club features  a daily program designed to keep children engaged and entertained, while experiences such as snorkelling excursions, marine  discovery sessions, sushi-making classes, soda-making workshops, water sports, beach games, and outdoor activities  encourage families to connect and create lasting memories together.

Adding to the family-friendly experience, the recently  introduced Teen Arcade Lounge provides a dedicated space tailored for teenage guests. Equipped with popular gaming  consoles and interactive entertainment, it offers a fun retreat where teens can unwind, socialise, and enjoy their own  downtime, whether taking a break from the tropical sun or simply seeking a little independence during their island stay.

Beyond family-focused activities, guests can experience The Standard’s signature mix of relaxation, entertainment, and  connection through six distinct dining venues, The Standard Spa, wellness programming, and a lively calendar of seasonal  events and celebrations. As one of the Maldives’ most social island escapes, the resort is known for bringing guests together  through signature experiences such as Not Your Standard Bingo Night and Music Quiz, both of which have become guest  favourites at Todis Bar. These playful, interactive events often see families, couples, and friends gathering in the same space  to connect, share laughs, and create memorable moments together. Combined with a diverse offering of dining, wellness,  recreation, and cultural experiences, the resort provides something for every generation, making it an ideal destination for  families travelling together. 

The recognition also highlights the resort’s commitment to creating an environment where families can reconnect away from  everyday routines. Whether enjoying time by the beach, exploring the surrounding ocean, sharing meals, or celebrating special occasions, guests are invited to experience the Maldives in a way that feels both engaging and effortlessly relaxed. 

Covering contemporary trends in fashion, beauty, travel, technology, and lifestyle, World Fashion Channel is recognized for  its coverage of major industry events and influential personalities.
