Luxury family travel is evolving. Today’s travellers are searching for experiences that go beyond entertainment – journeys that inspire connection, wellness, discovery and meaningful time together.
Answering this shift, JOALI BEING has announced the return of its highly anticipated B’Kidult Summer Programme for 2026, inviting families to embrace a summer of transformation in the Maldives.
Running from 1 July to 31 August 2026, the immersive programme is built around the philosophy of “Transform, Recharge & Flow”, combining movement, creativity, mindfulness and adventure in a way that encourages every generation to reconnect with themselves and each other.
A Family Experience Rooted in Well-Living
Located on the serene island of Bodufushi, JOALI BEING has positioned itself as one of the Maldives’ most distinctive wellness destinations — not simply a luxury resort, but a “well-living island” designed to help guests feel lighter, happier and more energised.
The B’Kidult Summer Programme extends this philosophy to families, transforming the traditional kids’ club concept into an immersive journey of self-discovery and joyful learning. Rather than separating children from adults entirely, the programme encourages a balance between independent exploration and meaningful shared experiences.
Young guests are invited to participate in carefully curated three-day programmes designed to nurture confidence, curiosity and creativity through hands-on activities and mindful movement.
Highlights from the 2026 B’Kidult Programme
This year’s programme offers an impressive range of experiences tailored to different interests and personalities.
Culinary Creativity Through Kitchen Quest
For aspiring young chefs, Kitchen Quest introduces children to mindful cooking and global flavours through interactive culinary experiences. The sessions are designed not only to teach practical skills, but also to inspire confidence, curiosity and healthy relationships with food.
Sport, Movement & Confidence Building
A major focus of the programme is movement-based wellbeing, with several sports academies and fitness experiences available throughout the summer.
Children can sharpen their coordination and teamwork through:
- Padel Champs
- Football Camp
- Tennis Academy
- Muay Thai training
- Fitness Academy sessions including yoga, Pilates and mindfulness
These activities combine physical development with emotional resilience, reinforcing JOALI BEING’s holistic approach to wellness.
Ocean Adventures & Marine Discovery
As expected from a Maldivian island experience, the ocean plays a central role in the programme.
Young explorers can participate in:
- Snorkelling adventures
- Kayaking
- Seabob experiences
- Marine conservation activities
- Coral planting
- Turtle rescue initiatives
One of the standout experiences is the Mini Marine Biologist programme, where children work alongside the island’s marine experts to better understand and protect the surrounding ecosystem.
The initiative reflects a growing trend among luxury resorts to integrate sustainability and environmental education into family travel experiences.
Creative Expression Through Art
Creativity also forms an important pillar of the programme. Guided by resident artist Kurahaa Rappe, the Art Explorers Club encourages children to experiment with painting, paper art and nature-inspired artistic expression.
These immersive sessions allow young guests to slow down, connect with nature and explore self-expression in a calm and inspiring setting.
A Retreat for Parents Too
While children embark on their own journeys of exploration, JOALI BEING ensures that parents are equally supported in their personal wellness goals.
The resort’s team of wellbeing experts curate personalised programmes focused on restoration, reconnection and renewal. Parents can enjoy hydrotherapy experiences, fitness programmes, sound healing, mindful cuisine and spa rituals while children participate in supervised activities.
This balance between family bonding and individual wellbeing lies at the heart of the resort’s summer philosophy.
