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.
Travel Purpose: Consider the purpose of your trip and who you are traveling with—friends, family, or as a couple. Understanding your travel purpose and needs will help you select the most suitable accommodation for your Maldives experience.
