Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

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.

An unforgettable stay in a luxury hotel!

Velassaru is an extraordinary island of natural beauty, with beautiful beach and water villas, attentive service and restaurants for real gourmets! A lagoon with clear water, crispy white sand under your feet, snow-white sunbeds on the beaches and a huge Infinity pool overlooking the ocean! Unique breakfasts, lunches and dinners - especially in ala card themed restaurants! Lots of water activities and sea excursions, I went swimming with sharks, it’s just unrealistically cool! The villas are as comfortable as possible and are cleaned 2 times a day. The staff is friendly and attentive - you can feel the positivity of one big family. The goal of which is to give you the best possible vacation in the Luxury segment! Luxury has a name - Velassaru!

High recommend resort

Amazing location and very very easy way to the airport. You don’t need to wait as the boat is there at the airport immediately after you flight and they bring you back 2 hours before your flight (not as the other resort with the seaplane). The staff is really kind, we got a lot of things free of charge and the upgrade. Rooms are really beautiful, modern and very clean. The common area are very clean too. Breakfast is AMAZING and you can find everything. I really recommend this resort.
