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.

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).

Paradise, Feels Like Home!

Simply paradise to its core. Firstly, thank you to Ash and the team @ So/. They looked after us and made paradise feel truly like home. The resort is new and fresh and the ocean waters where beautiful fish roam is surrounded by beautiful palm trees and white sands. You are given bikes where you can roam yourself from your ocean beach Villa to two restaurants (Citronelle and Hadaban) of where the variety of foods and cultures know no bounds, along with a gym and spa and a sublime beach bar to relax with refreshments. The true jewel in So’s crown is its staff. Our guest experience maker Ash made this the best holiday of our lives and experience that we will treasure forever. Thank you!
