Recently, the Maldives has become more and more visited. At the height of the season, finding a free villa is almost impossible – you need to book at least a few months in advance.
There are new hotels with democratic prices, and a paradise vacation no longer seems so out of reach. Exotic island booking expert wiotto.com shares his list of resorts in Maldives, where the price and quality will please you.
How to choose a hotel
The quality of the hotel, its services and other things is a rather subjective concept. Here it is more worth focusing on the reviews of tourists and recommendations of experts. Visit the Articles section of wiotto.com for a wealth of material on the Maldives, including a selection of the best hotels across a range of parameters. For example, the best house reef, the best five-star hotels, ideal resorts for families with children, top islands with a lot of restaurants and bars…
As for the cost of rest, several factors can reduce the cost of it.
- Transfer. Choose hotels located close to Male so that they can be reached by speed boat. It’s much cheaper than a seaplane or a local airline.
- The meal plan also significantly affects the price. Optimal – choose Full Board or Half Board, and already on the spot, if desired, it will be possible to purchase alcohol or additional snacks. If you want variety in food and alcoholic drinks, it is better to take the All inclusive package. Choosing only breakfast, eating in the restaurants of the Maldives will be significantly more expensive.
- Another factor to choose from is the type of villa. Beach villas, and even more so those located in the garden without a panoramic view of the ocean, will be an order of magnitude cheaper than water villas. The presence of a pool or jacuzzi also affects the price.
