Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

How do you choose the perfect resort in Maldives?

Cost & Budget: Depending on the price, there are different levels of quality, with the Maldives offering a range from relatively affordable accommodations to ultra-luxurious options. The most basic are a 4-star resorts, and then the categories rise to 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star levels.

Travel Purpose: Consider the purpose of your trip and who you are traveling with—friends, family, or as a couple. Understanding your travel purpose and needs will help you select the most suitable accommodation for your Maldives experience.

Location and Access: Consider how you want to travel to the resort. The resorts close to the Male International Airport have speedboat transfers, which are generally faster and cheaper. Those who are in other atolls need a transfer by seaplane or domestic flights, which are more expensive, but also allow you to enjoy impressive views from the air.

Type of Accommodation: Decide if you prefer an over-water villa or a beachfront villa. Each type offers a different experience and views. Over-water villas provide direct access to the sea and are quite private, while beachfront villas offer easy beach access and often come with private pools.

Dining Options: The Maldives resorts typically operate on one of four meal plans: BB (bed & breakfast), half board (breakfast and dinner included), full board (breakfast lunch, and dinner included), or a all-inclusive (all meals and beverages included). Consider your dining preferences and whether you'd like to explore different cuisine options within the resort.

Nature Condition and Service Ratings: Review the ratings on our Maldives page to gain insights into the quality of various aspects including snorkeling, sea views, beaches, privacy, family-friendliness, and sandbanks. Ratings range from 1 star to 5 stars, helping you understand the level of experience each resort offers in these areas.

Amenities and Services: Look for what amenities are important to you. Some resorts offer luxurious spa services, a private pools , water sports facilities, diving centers, and fitness centers. If traveling with children, check if the resort has family-friendly services like kids'clubs and family activities. View more Maldives Travel Tips >>

The underwater world and diving with the sharks and rays! The ambiente of the island.
Villa had plenty of space with a bull eye in the living room. It was very clean. Service was perfect. The resort convinced with nice gardens and nature. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were fantastic with local and mediterranian cuisine; a lot of variation made every time a new experience. The resort was led in a very familiar and personal manner which made us instantly feel like at home. The person responsible for our wellbeing has done a fantastic job all over the day including the night.

Pristine clean private beaches, stunning food, beautiful house reef, outstanding service
The beauty of Nika is in the natural environment of the island, carefully married with the spacious villas, which are so well fused with the vegetation that you barely notice them. Each of the villas has its own generous private beach.
I was with a group of four friends. We stayed in a deluxe family villa. In the morning we woke up with an amazing view from the bedroom to our beach, then I went for a refreshing short snorkel swim to the house reef 15 meters away to watch the colourful sea life, corals, sea stars, and fish.
The food at the resort is simply stunning, the breakfast buffet is great, lunch and dinner are fantastic. Every evening, the cuisine has a different theme, varied and always delicious.
I went a few times for a dive, and most of the dives were spectacular. My favourite - Shark head is a superb diving location with schools of fish flowing around. While diving a turtle came to greet me and graciously went on its way. I saw a few times manta rays looping a few meters in front of me, and that made my day. After coming back, I like to have some rest and then head for the sunset.
Sundowners are another out-of-this world experience. Cocktails are fantastic, the wines are carefully selected. The prices are fair.
The island and especially the beaches are cleaned twice a day. The cleanliness of the villa is spotless. The staff is always ready to help but very discreet, so you can stay on your private beach and never see another person if you want privacy.

I've traveled a lot, but I've never seen anything that even comes close to Nika.

Will I recommend it? Oh yes!
Will I come back? Definitely!
