At Cora Cora Maldives, every member of the family is given special treatment in order to make every visitor's journey exceptional and leave them with priceless memories. The CoRa Kids Club Manager is Sheryll from the Philippines, and she collaborates with a fantastic team to plan engaging and entertaining activities for kids between the ages of three and twelve.

"During my career, I've worked in numerous locations all over the world, but I always felt something was lacking. One of the "World's Top Destinations," Cora Cora Maldives truly makes me feel complete. A wonderfully refreshing setting for a woman working in hospitality, I am free to demonstrate my knowledge, skills, and passion regardless of my age, colour, or gender. I am continually inspired by moms, especially my own since her smile has the ability to make me forget about my troubles. I work at the CoRa Kids Club where I see the wonderful interactions between mothers and children. I wouldn't be the person I am now without my mother Cindy.

In order to reverse this trend, Cora Cora Maldives is committed to empowering young girls and women. This viewpoint is shared by Layan from the Maldives, a Demi Chef de Partie at Teien restaurant. "Coming from the Maldives gives me the chance to learn about the tourism business at an early age in one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Not only do I feel encouraged by my peers, but also by senior management, who supports my development and creation of personal goals.
