Getting there with children
A long transfer after an overnight flight is hard on small children. Shorter boat transfers are usually easier, but ask about timings and child fares.
The island itself
Look for a shallow, calm lagoon and shade on the beach. Some resorts are adults-only, so check before you fall for one.
Kids' clubs and food
Programmes usually cover set age ranges, so check yours fall inside them. Simple, flexible meal plans save effort with fussy eaters.
Rooms
Check how many people a villa sleeps, whether connecting rooms exist, and whether pools have child safety features. Always confirm details with the resort.
