⚠️Limited exploration beyond resorts
📋 The Bottom Line
The Maldives represents the ultimate in flat, accessible family holidays. The coral atolls are completely level, resort islands are purpose-designed for luxury family experiences, and the infrastructure is world-class. The main consideration is that this is primarily a resort-based experience — you'll spend most time on your resort island rather than exploring diverse areas. However, within that context, the accessibility is perfect, with overwater villas, flat beach access, and comprehensive family facilities. The crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches create a magical family setting.
