This summer, Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts invites families to reconnect and create cherished memories together across the group’s curated collection of properties, from the sun-drenched beaches of Zanzibar and Mauritius to luxurious overwater retreats in the Maldives. With tailored experiences for all ages – from immersive kids’ clubs and wildlife encounters to hands-on cooking classes and starlit movie nights – each resort offers a blend of cultural discovery, outdoor adventure and relaxation designed to bring families closer.
The Residence Maldives – Barefoot Bliss
A castaway family escape, The Residence Maldives invites guests to slow down and soak up the island life –with up to 40% off* this summer. Enjoy two resorts in one and travel from Dhigurah to Falhumaafushi across a 1km bridge to ensure every day brings something different. Days spent together unfold with pizza-making sessions, swimming lessons and tie-dye workshops, while those with an adventurous streak opt for paddleboarding, guided snorkelling safaris and dolphin-spotting adventures. Parents will find their own version of paradise in beachfront yoga classes, sunset cruises, or a couples’ massage in the overwater spa. Whether gathered for breakfast under the palms or sharing stories around the firepit, it’s a setting designed to encourage reconnection with the ones who matter most.
The Residence Zanzibar – Tides & Treks
Zanzibar’s spirit of adventure comes to life at The Residence, from nature walks to Swahili language lessons and cookie-making, the on-site Kids Club allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and beautiful surroundings. For those twelve and above, the thrill of water sports, snorkeling escapades and guided visits to Jozani Forest await, with the chance to spot Red Colobus monkeys or wander through the magical Zanzibar Butterfly Centre. As the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, come together to witness live acrobatic shows or hop aboard a traditional dhow for an evening cruise beneath the stars. What’s more, families can enjoy a range of day trips to discover the secrets of the Spice Island together – go for a walkabout of UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stone Town, join a local herbalist for a tour of neighbouring spice plantations to pluck native herbs and spices, or visit a nearby seaweed farm, where local women transform sustainably harvested marine plants into beauty products.
The Residence Mauritius – Island of Wellbeing
At The Residence Mauritius, every detail is designed with family in mind through tailored itineraries curated by the resort concierge. The Planters Kids Club offers a mix of treasure hunts, sports competitions and movie nights, whilst water sports include paddleboarding and glass bottomed boats to discover life under the sea. Master Mauritian cuisine in an immersive cookery class and make traditional creole curries with freshly caught seafood. Meanwhile, parents can surrender to the soothing calm of “The Sanctuary” – renowned spa and the first in Mauritius to introduce treatments by award-winning Spanish brand Natura Bissé. Among its highlights the “Mum or Dad & Me” package, invites children aged 5 to 12 to enjoy a shared hour of gentle treatments and uninterrupted quality time. There’s also a 30-minute “Pamper Me” massage designed especially for younger guests – proving that self-care isn’t just for grown-ups.
The Residence Tunis – Cultural Celebration
Catering to children of all ages, The Residence Tunis provides a vibrant celebration of creativity, culture and connection. At the heart of the experience lies the Dolphin Kids Club, where little ones can dive into an array of activities including hands-on arts & crafts inspired by Tunisia’s rich heritage. While children get creative, parents can slip away to the serene Thalasso Spa or enjoy an unhurried afternoon along the Mediterranean coast. For older kids and teens, there’s plenty of adventure to be found – from walking along scenic coastal trails to exploring the ancient ruins of Carthage or wandering the colorful souks of Tunis with a seasoned guide. Adding a sustainable twist to family fun, the resort’s “Earth Basket” experience allows guests to hand-pick fresh vegetables from the resort’s gardens before transforming their harvest into delicious creations during interactive cooking classes.
