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.
Location and Access: Consider how you want to travel to the resort. The resorts close to the Male International Airport have speedboat transfers, which are generally faster and cheaper. 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.
