Side by Side is designed to provide unique and memorable ways to bring families together during their leisure travel, both on property and in the community.

Side by Side offers a wonderful range of activities that enable guests to indulge together in relaxing experiences, to explore the community by experiencing nature, and culture in new and engaging ways, and to celebrate big or small moments with loved ones.

Whether it is kids’ playtime, grandparents and parents learning new experience with the kids or spouse celebrating special occasions, the family programme provides the entire family activities to make memories together.

“We are excited to pioneer Sheraton’s first family programme. With the increase in demand for leisure and multigenerational family travel, families are looking for immersive experiences that can be shared with family members at all ages,” Emilio Fortini, the General Manager at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, said.

“Side By Side offers unique and engaging activities for family to come together to connect with the local and explore the destination and create lasting memories. We look forward to welcoming families to Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, and to being part of some of the most wonderful family holiday memories for years to come.”

Intended for all members in the family, Side By Side not only offers a variety of immersive activities for guests to rejuvenate and restore, it also enables them to create time to connect and make long-lasting memories with the family.
