There are a few things to bear in mind for those considering a trip to the Maldives. Here are some pitfalls to avoid in the Maldives to ensure you're thoroughly prepared for your holiday.
The first thing to note about the Maldives is that the majority of resorts are located on private islands – one island will be on one resort, which is the standard strategy for hotels in this archipelago. Geographically, this makes absolute sense because the Maldives has 1,192 uninhabited and 200 populated islands. Remember to go on an island-hopping expedition when enjoying the destination!
The Maldives is known for being a secluded, ultra-luxurious resort. However, visiting this island nation on a budget is conceivable — even plane tickets isn't prohibitively costly if you look for connecting flights across Europe or Asia. Stay at a guest house or a budget hotel to save money. Living in the Maldives doesn't have to be just about boarding yachts and scuba diving off the decks of your water villa! There are numerous ways to delve into the Maldives' natural beauty without breaking the bank! Besides, many luxury resorts do offer lucrative discounts you can take advantage of. Make sure you book all-inclusive hotels in Maldives the likes of VARU by Atmosphere to have a good experience
The Maldives will always be a top honeymoon destination owing to its dreamlike overwater bungalows, powdery white beaches, and romantic sunsets. However, you shouldn't wait until your honeymoon to visit this paradisiacal destination. The Maldives is equally suitable for a girls' trip or a family holiday. In reality, many Maldivian island resorts cater directly to families. The Maldives is more than just a romantic getaway; it's a destination where you can unwind and forget about your daily troubles — and that privilege isn't exclusive to honeymooners.
The Maldives is known to have around 158 liveaboards (also referred to as localised cruise ship, houseboat, and similar vessels) that provide sea safaris around the island nation's crystal clear waters and vibrant reefs. Depending on the sort of liveaboard you book, it can provide a variety of amenities and services, such as personal cooks, dive and surf coaches, and other staff members. Travellers may also hire out an entire houseboat, yacht, or small cruise vessel, and then tailor the staff to meet their needs, such as hiring an experienced masseuse on board. Renting a whole liveaboard vessel can also be a great way to get away from it all — you'll get the entire vessel to yourself!
Since the Maldives is renowned for its beaches, its South Asian roots are often ignored — a problem that so many South Pacific islands suffer from as well. Sri Lankan, Middle Eastern, Malaysian, African, and Indonesian cultures all combine to create a unique culture here in the Maldives. This intoxicating concoction can only be found in the Maldives.
