FIVE-STAR TREATMENT

Families on the lookout for a Maldivian vacation can’t go wrong by booking a stay at the months-old Mövenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives ( movenpick.com). Aside from opening a Little Birds Club for guests between the ages of two and eleven, as well as a Teen Club stocked with books, PlayStations, and all manner of games, the resort offers special spa treatments designed with children in mind. These include a 30-minute body scrub, a gentle, hydrating hour-long facial, and a 60-minute massage that stimulates cognitive development while improving the body’s immune system. And while Mövenpick’s Power Bites menu caters to health-minded parents, kids will delight in the Chocolate Hour which provides a free, daily-changing assortment of treats such as éclairs, brownies, and truffles.
