Male’, Maldives – 16th February 2026 – THE OZEN COLLECTION has been recognised as the Gold Winner for ‘Best All-Inclusive Hotel for Families’ at the inaugural Junior Travel Awards 2026, celebrating the exceptional family-friendly experiences offered at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and OZEN LIFE MAADHOO in the Maldives.
Presented by Junior magazine, one of the UK’s leading family publications, the awards honour brands that provide outstanding experiences for parents and children alike. Judges commended both resorts for offering a complete all-inclusive experience, encompassing gourmet dining, spa treatments, snorkelling excursions, and daily activities—allowing families to focus fully on spending quality time together rather than managing logistics.
Accommodations are thoughtfully designed with families in mind. Two-bedroom villas offer privacy for parents while providing ample space for children, and overwater suites with slides combine fun and adventure with comfort and elegant design. Every detail, from villa layouts to resort locations, has been carefully considered to ensure both relaxation and enjoyment for guests of all ages.
Children are exceptionally well catered for at both resorts. Bolifushi features the largest kids’ club in the Maldives, while Maadhoo offers equally engaging activities. Both resorts provide guided marine adventures with resident biologists, bicycles, and a range of water sports. Teens can explore lagoons or participate in more adventurous activities, while younger children enjoy calm, shallow waters and soft white beaches, making every family member feel included and entertained.
Service is truly unparalleled. Each villa is paired with a dedicated Hiyani butler, available 24/7 via WhatsApp, ensuring that every request—big or small—is handled seamlessly. Bonita Turner, editor of Junior, said, “It’s difficult to choose between the two, but for families, Bolifushi stands out with the Maldives’ largest kids’ club. Both resorts, however, offer dreamlike surroundings and every luxury imaginable—stress-free and indulgent.”
Rates for OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI start from USD 2,295 per night for two sharing an Earth Pool Villa under the RESERVE™ Plan, including luxury catamaran transfers to and from Velana International Airport, Malé. OZEN LIFE MAADHOO begins at USD 1,646 per night for two sharing an Earth Villa with the INDULGENCE™ Plan, including luxury speedboat transfers.
