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.

Finolhu Baa Atoll launches art lab and teen haven in collaboration with Muza Lab
Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives has announced the opening of its new Art Lab and Teen Hut. These innovative spaces, conceptualised and designed by the acclaimed design studio Muza Lab, aim to enhance the resort’s creative offerings while furthering its appeal to multi-generational families.
The Art Lab and Teen Hut embody Muza Lab’s hallmark approach of integrating culture, colour, and storytelling into design. These spaces seamlessly blend modern aesthetics with Maldivian heritage, providing a sanctuary for creativity, play, and relaxation across all age groups.
Bamboo was selected as the primary material for both structures due to its eco-friendliness and versatility. This choice highlights the natural tones of bamboo, creating a cohesive aesthetic that extends from the interiors to the exteriors. Vibrant, colourful decorations within the spaces stand out beautifully against the bamboo backdrop.
Focusing on creativity and interaction, Muza Lab infused the spaces with varied textures and hues to encourage free-flowing imagination. The Art Lab, nestled within lush greenery, serves as a haven for artistic expression. It offers workshops in painting and pottery, fostering a relaxed and inspiring environment where guests can create with their toes in the sand. The bespoke design incorporates bamboo architecture, open and airy layouts, and elements reflective of Maldivian culture.
The Teen Hut caters to younger visitors aged 12 to 17, offering a dynamic blend of fun and relaxation. This space features state-of-the-art gaming zones, a bar adorned with shells and sea glass for crafting mocktails, a movie lounge, an outdoor games area, and a second-floor music zone equipped with instruments, a stage, and a karaoke machine. Muza Lab carefully designed the furniture and ambiance to appeal to the “Instagrammable” generation while ensuring enough activities to encourage teens to step away from their devices and engage with their surroundings and peers.
Inge Moore, Founder of Muza Lab, noted that the spaces are designed to foster inclusivity and interaction, emphasising their use as venues for workshops, meetings, and collaborative experiences among guests.
Steven Phillips, General Manager of Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives, expressed pride in the new additions, stating, “The Art Lab offers a creative oasis for guests of all ages, while the Teen Hut provides a dynamic space for younger guests to connect, unwind, and create memories. These additions ensure that every member of the multigenerational family can find joy and fullfillment during their stay in our island paradise.”

Celebrating Easter Through Art and Cuisine
Easter dining at The Nautilus takes on an artistic flair this Easter with exquisite culinary experiences. On Good Friday, guests can enjoy a Sunset Beach Pop-Up featuring “The Art of Bohemia,” a beachside gallery of Maldivian artworks accompanied by live music. Holy Saturday will delight families with a memorable beachside Easter dinner at Thyme Beach, and Easter Sunday culminates in a lavish family brunch serenaded by the soothing melodies of a local handpan musician. Each dining experience seamlessly blends artistry, flavour, and unforgettable moments.
Family Adventures on the Reef and Beyond
For marine enthusiasts, Aquanautica offers an array of immersive experiences designed to inspire and educate. Guests can participate in coral planting sessions led by the resident marine biologist, snorkel along the vibrant house reef with expert guidance, or attend engaging coral talks. Families can join “Hello Turtle” excursions to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat or set sail on enchanting dolphin cruises. Each adventure deepens guests’ understanding of the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, while fostering a profound connection to the delicate marine ecosystem.
Spa Indulgence for All Ages
Solasta Spa invites guests to embrace the spirit of renewal with Easter-inspired therapies.
