Porto Sani
A swish stay for families
While all families with children will benefit from the exceedingly child-orientated set-up at Porto Sani, this hotel is particularly perfect for families with babies and preschoolers, making relaxing breaks with little ones as easy as possible. At Porto Sani, you’re well located in the wider Sani resort to take easy advantage of the facilities and amenities designed with the smallest travellers in mind, including a toddler’s splash pad by the nearest pool and a creche on-site. Some of Sani’s best child-friendly restaurants are just a short stroll away, complete with nourishing and colourful Annabel Karmel food stations.
Fresh from a multi-million facelift, Porto Sani is an elegant, family-oriented hotel in the Sani collection of luxury hotels.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Rooms and suites
There are 148 suites here, and while they’re an ideal set-up for families with tots, it’s not at the expense of a luxurious and elegant feel. The smallest room option is still generously sized as far as hotel rooms go and sleeps two adults and two children up to 12, and ideal if you’re happy for your kids to share a sofa bed. If you’re bringing grandparents or extended family, you might find that the two- or three-bedroom suites are the perfect option for your group. Each bedroom has a bathroom and extra space for roaming toddlers.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
