In an announcement, Soneva said the Great Family Escape package allows up to nine guests — six adults and three children — to choose seven out of more than 15 activities offered by its resorts. The options include dolphin cruises, glass blowing, snorkelling, cooking classes, picnics and beach lunches, tree planting, treasure hunts, wine and juice tasting, and private outdoor Cinema Paradiso screenings, it added.
According to Soneva, the package is priced at USD 5,000++ at Soneva Fushi and Soneva Jani in the Maldives. It does not include accommodation, but is combinable with all offers and promotions, Soneva said.
