The Maldives, where you can chill in those plush over-water villas, is a haven of sun, sand, and sea. A tropical destination of over 1000 islands, the Maldives must be fully understood to make the most of your time there. Here are common mistakes to avoid when visiting the Maldives.
Contrary to popular belief, the Maldives is not only for luxury travel. The island resorts in the Maldives are constantly coming up with offers and discounts for travellers to enjoy a stay that won't burn a hole in the pocket. Top all-inclusive Maldives resorts like Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences are amongst those offering early bird discounts and summer deals. This helps even budget travellers plan stays at popular Maldives luxury resorts. Another way to cut down on expenses is to travel to your island resort via local ferry; thus, avoiding expensive seaplane or speedboat transfers.
Choose the all-inclusive packages available at top Maldives all-inclusive resorts and you will be pleasantly surprised. Specially curated meal plans offered at the award-winning Maldives all-inclusive resorts offer value for money, peace of mind, and the best savings.
If you have seen those magical glowing beaches in brochures and thought they were good edit jobs, you were wrong. The Maldives really is home to glow-in-the-dark beaches! And you really can't afford to miss the spectacle. Head over to the tiny Vaadhoo Island on the Raa Atoll and you will see the glowing waves lapping at the sandy shores. Take along the cameras, this is one Instagram-worthy update you don't want to miss.
On the contrary! The Maldives is a tropical nation; hence, it is sunny all year round. And you can only experience two seasons there – the wet and dry. Even in the wet season, it rarely pours all day. And you have plenty of chances to enjoy time on the beach and soak up the sun. Besides, during the off-season, which falls between May and August, hotel rates are at their lowest. This means you can enjoy a holiday in paradise at a lower cost than you would during the high season.
The Maldives is made up of over 90 per cent water. Hence, it would be a real shame to miss out on the amazing array of water sports options available there. From the humorous excitement of being dragged around the ocean on a banana boat to enjoying adrenaline-pumping action on a jet ski, the Maldives is pretty awesome for loads of fun on the water. Scuba diving is, of course, the biggest lure. With crystal clear waters boasting visibility up to 30 metres in some areas, you simply must give the sport a try. And with resort dive centres ready to train eager would-be divers as young as 10 years old, you have no excuse.
