Exploring the world with family is easier than ever in 2026. It is important to take a break from work and relax with your kids and spouses. Luxury accommodations make it much easier to create a bespoke experience that works perfectly for each family.

One spot to consider this summer is JOALI BEING located on Bodufushi Island in the Maldives. Only accessible by boat or seaplane, the resort blends wellness with family bonding. They have 33 beach villas or 25 overwater choices with lots of room. Each room comes with a jadugar, which translates from Dhivehi as “butler” in English. The jadugar’s primary purpose is often to provide transportation to different appointments or to arrange experiences. It is important to have time to relax, rather than stress about what to do or where to go, which is why the jadugar is so important. Each villa also comes equipped with Electra Bikes that have custom name-engraved wooden plates. This adds a personal and practical touch for kids who might be more forgetful and end up leaving a bike somewhere.

The Areka is where the bulk of the wellness experience takes place, including hydrotherapy, Russian-style saunas, a Turkish-style hammam and a halotherapy room. The resort is known for its Four Pillars Energy Balancing massage that includes everything. The B’Kidult is where kids can enjoy botanical projects, artistic endeavours, and drink-making. Each room is extremely private and swathed in local flora and fauna. Obviously, the crystal-blue waters at the beach are not to be ignored either. JOALI BEING is a Forbes-certified 5-star experience. 

If you are looking for a project to take on this summer, Haine’s Cay is currently selling for $37,900,000 USD. The island is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas, an archipelago known for seclusion and calm waters. The island is ripe with potential for high-profit luxury experiences or private estates. The island sits 600 feet away from Great Harbour Cay, which houses an airport, a 150-plus-acre Golf Course and a Hotel.
