MALDIVES: There was a time when the Maldives was considered out of reach for the majority of us non-celeb types reserved mostly for newlyweds who had been saving up for an exclusive and secluded honeymoon. But as social media took hold over the years, and flying became more accessible, the nation’s cluster of islands started to attract a more diverse set of travellers; from the young and budget-conscious to the family-fun seekers.
The recently launched Ozen Reserve Bolifushi is proof that the Maldives can offer an excellent family-friendly getaway.

OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI is just a 20-minute zip from Malé
A holiday in the Maldives may seem like a quick, three-hour flight away. But add layovers and transfers, and you could end up spending anywhere between seven to eight hours in transit. Factored both ways, that’s nearly a full day of your vacation. So what do you do if you’re desperate for some time off, but don’t have much to spare? Every minute in the Maldives is precious after all. Try the
OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, which is just a 20-minute catamaran ride from Malé. This means you won’t have to check in after the sun’s gone down, or check out before the sun’s up.
