You may also want to take a break from the islands and make a quick stop at Hukuru Miskiy, one of the oldest and most beautiful mosques in The Maldives. Built in 1658, the mosque features coral stones throughout and sea-culture architecture. Keep reading to learn about the best kid-friendly resorts in The Maldives.
