Luxurious Family-Friendly Accommodation
Grand Park Kodhipparu features 120 villas, including 102 overwater villas and 18 beach villas, providing ample space for families of all sizes. We love how all of their beach, ocean and lagoon villas come with spectacular tropical views, and 65 of them come with private pools! Furthermore, you can lounge on the terrace of the ocean or lagoon water villas or relax in the plunge pool that is just steps from the ocean and colourful marine life. The resort also offers interconnected villas, making it convenient for families to stay close together while enjoying their privacy.
If sand and sea are your thing, the beach pool villas are just steps away from the shoreline. They are surrounded by lush greenery and just a stone’s throw away from the resort facilities. For the ultimate luxurious experience, you can opt for the Grand Residence – think dream vacation home-away-from-home with two bedrooms, a living room, an infinity pool with panoramic ocean views, and an outdoor private dining area.
Engaging Activities for Kids
The resort is a haven for families, with numerous activities tailored for children. The Little Explorer Kids Club made our life a breeze! From arts and crafts to treasure hunts, the club provides a safe and fun environment for kids to explore their creativity. Open daily from 9am to 6pm, this hub offers parents a respite from their kids when you need to run off to the spa or do adults-only activities.
Kids can choose from a variety of daily activities hosted by dedicated staff or play board games and table sports. There’s also good old screentime to relax. The beachfront location is also excellent for parents to chill by the beach with their kids well taken care of nearby. We tried painting our own coconut, making leaf bookmarks, watching movies and playing fusball.
Apart from the Kids Club and pool, we had the opportunity to go on a reef snorkelling adventure with the resort’s resident Marine Biologist, Dee, who taught the kids about marine life, corals and even encouraged us to take photos of sea turtles to add to the resort’s Hall of Fame. The best part? If we identify a new sea turtle, we’d get to name it!
Dining Options for the Whole Family
Dining at Grand Park Kodhipparu is an experience in itself. The resort boasts several dining options, including The Edge, an all-day dining restaurant with stunning ocean views.
Breeze Poolside Dining & Bar is set against tranquil and panoramic ocean views and next to the resort’s infinity pool. The was our absolute favourite dining spot with its wide selection of all-day dining options! This beach haven not only serves up modern, light menus with contemporary interpretations of Asian and Mediterranean classics but also old favourites like burgers, pasta, and salads. By night, Breeze transforms into an easy-going resort bar at sunset.
Families can enjoy a diverse range of cuisines, catering to all tastes and preferences. The resort also offers in-villa dining like the floating afternoon tea. There’s also private dining options, allowing you to enjoy your meals in the comfort of your own space.
