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.

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.
