A Maldives holiday is a bucket list activity for many people in the world, and to know what mistakes you should avoid in this island nation, read on!
Maldives is a nation with many great holiday islands to visit, thus, the biggest mistake you can make when you visit the Maldives is just exploring one island, while missing out on so many other experiences that you can have!
People automatically tend to brush off a Maldives holiday as they assume it is expensive, as most online blogs and articles speak only about how you can have a luxury holiday there. So, you wouldn't even bother researching and planning a trip to the Maldives because you think it is not possible anyway. While it is true that finding budget accommodations in the Maldives may be challenging compared to Thailand or Indonesia, it is not as expensive as many people believe. With proper planning, it is possible to have an affordable holiday in the Maldives, as there are various options available to cater to different types of travellers.
Though most of the pictures you see of Maldives might be of a cosy couple posing against the backdrop of gorgeous sunsets, you need to remember it is a holiday destination for all, and the tourism in Maldives does not run for honeymooners only. Therefore, you don't have to wait until you get a partner to visit this country, you can plan a fun friends trip and have fun in the Maldives too!
Maldives is not just about water activities and sunsets, you need to remember that the luxury part of the nation has to be utilised too! Thus, make sure you give yourself a relaxing spa day where you let yourself be pampered like royalty.
Not everybody who puts pictures of walking away into the amazing sunset at a resort is actually staying there during the holiday. Some island resorts let you use the facilities for the full day in exchange for a small amount of cash. This would definitely be way less than the accommodation cost and you would still have the benefit of using the alcohol bars, the food, the view, and their swimming pools. If you still want to stay at a resort, do check out properties the likes of OZEN by Atmosphere at Maadhoo to see if a great Maldives all-inclusive package is available.
Any beach holiday is not complete unless you actually just chill at the beach, and do absolutely nothing but soak in the sunshine for at least a day or two. In the frenzy of planning a packed holiday in the Maldives, don’t forget to leave aside a day or two when you have zero plans!
