Passport to Adventure at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru

Maldives Promotion House – The new Passport to Adventure program at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru introduces children aged 4 to 12 to the island’s extraordinary natural wonders through a series of exciting challenges, puzzles and activities.
Run by the Resort’s Kids Club, the program comprises up to eight daily activities alongside a “Passport” of puzzles, facts and challenges set by Kaku, the Resort’s hermit crab mascot. From Coral Reefscaping to Wishing Tree Walks, Dosha Discovery to Lizard Spotting, each day sees adventure challenges offered alongside activities ranging from herb hunts and mocktail making to snorkeling, kayaking and scavenger hunts. In addition to enjoying each activity, the completion of each related challenge earns children a stamp; seven or more stamps earn a toy, with the collection of all 14 stamps leading to ice-cream sundaes at Blu restaurant and Sunset Bar.
In addition to inspiring a passion for adventure and discovery, the program incorporates many of the Resort’s environmental initiatives. Children can build their own coral reef, feed the baby clownfish in the Fish Lab and visit the on-site Marine Discovery Centre, home to the atoll’s only Turtle Rehabilitation Centre.
“We wanted to create a program for kids that was above all unique and exciting,” explains the Resort’s General Manager and Regional Vice President Armando Kraenzlin. “Many of the families who visit us are very well travelled, with the children craving as much variety and adventure as the parents. Passport to Adventure combines exploration, conservation, crafts and sport into a fun and educational schedule that takes children to all corners of the Resort. It’s the kind of program that makes you want to be a kid again and is proving to be quite a hit with parents as well.”
As with the Kids Club program, children are free to join in as and when they like, from an hour at a time to all day every day. And with stamps available at designated points all over the Resort, they can even collect them when out and about with Mum and Dad.
Four Seasons Resort Landaa Giraavaru occupies 44-acres of natural wilderness within a two-kilometre lagoon in the Maldives only UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Everything on the island invites discovery and exploration, from the pioneering Marine Discovery Centre and sprawling Spa and Ayurvedic Retreat to isolatedrestaurants hidden down dense jungle paths. Passport to Adventure weaves each of these elements into a schedule designed to keep even the most discerning young adventurer entertained from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, seven days a week. Inspiring and educational, each Passport also exists as a lovely vacation keepsake and includes a Certificate of Completion that is filled out at the end of each child’s stay.

The Nautilus Maldives redefines children’s spaces with ecoBirdy

The Nautilus Maldives, an ultra-luxury bohemian private island retreat in the heart of the Indian Ocean, has announced a partnership with ecoBirdy, the award-winning Belgian family-owned design brand renowned for its innovative approach to design rooted in social and environmental responsibility.
As part of this collaboration, The Nautilus has redesigned the furnishings of its Young Wonderers children’s club and The Nautilus Lounge at Velana International Airport. These areas now showcase ecoBirdy’s thoughtfully curated and ergonomically designed pieces, created from repurposed plastic toys. The result is an immersive experience for young guests that seamlessly blends creativity, sustainability, and style.
ecoBirdy, founded in 2018 by designers Vanessa Yuan and Joris Vanbriel, originated as a research initiative co-funded by the European Commission. The project aimed to develop a sustainable method for recycling plastic toys. ecoBirdy’s patented recycling process starts with the collection of used toys, undergoes a conscientious recycling journey, and concludes with the crafting of contemporary, functional furniture and home accessories. Central to their designs is ecothylene®—a 100% recycled and recyclable material—used to create visually distinctive and ergonomically supportive products tailored to children’s comfort, autonomy, and development.
From the moment children arrive at The Nautilus Airport Lounge to their playful experiences at Young Wonderers, they are welcomed into environments that emphasise imagination, beauty, and respect for nature. Each ecoBirdy piece is designed to foster children’s independence, featuring ergonomic shapes and easy-to-grip elements that reflect a deep understanding of young behaviour.
Adan Gomez, General Manager of The Nautilus Maldives, expressed that the partnership reflects the resort’s values: “This collaboration embodies The Nautilus’s ethos. Like ecoBirdy, we are family-founded and built on authenticity, creativity, and responsibility. Together, we’ve created inspiring spaces that not only delight our youngest guests but also reflect our commitment to timeless hospitality and respect for our planet.”
Joris Vanbriel, co-founder of ecoBirdy, noted, “True luxury carries a responsibility to future generations. Partnering with The Nautilus allows us to bring sustainable design to a new generation of conscious explorers.” Fellow co-founder Vanessa Yuan added, “We believe design has the power to inspire change. Through this collaboration, we hope to nurture creativity, care, and environmental stewardship among young guests of The Nautilus.”
At The Nautilus, where time stands still and freedom reigns, each young guest is invited to discover that the most meaningful form of luxury lies in living thoughtfully.
