How Much Does A Maldives Trip Cost in 2024: Detailed Budget Breakdown

Written By: ThePlanetD Team

Updated On: January 5, 2024

A Maldives vacation is one of the most luxurious things you can think of. The classic image of the Maldives is a group of beautiful private islands in the Indian Ocean with overwater bungalows, deluxe speed boat transfers, and scuba diving excursions. The Maldives is one of the most famous honeymoon destinations , and considering all of this, it is no wonder why people wonder, ‘Is the Maldives expensive for a holiday’. Estimated costs can rocket into tens of thousands of dollars.

Yet, these are some of the most popular islands visited in the world – so how exactly do people budget for this trip of a lifetime? In this guide, we’ll break down the average Maldives trip cost and how you can tweak your vacation to best fit your budget.

Table of Contents

Maldives Trip Cost in 2024

Are you ready for a full Maldives trip cost breakdown? Let’s really unpack how much it costs to take a trip to the Maldives. It is easy to write off budget destinations as just incredibly expensive. However, with a proper understanding of the budget breakdown, the Maldives is suitable for all travel styles.

Cost of Maldives Airfare

There’s no way around it; plane tickets to the Maldives are usually expensive. Of course, the question of ‘how much does it cost to fly to the Maldives’ does vary depending on a few factors. For instance, where you are flying from, when you are flying, and if you can snatch any discounts from frequent flyer programs. As a whole, though, these are the most competitive flight prices you should expect to fly to Malé International Airport from different destinations around the world:

• $1,000 round trip economy flight tickets from the US
• $800 round trip economy flight tickets from the UK
• $800 round trip economy flight tickets from Australia
• $500 round trip economy flight tickets from Dubai

The price of flight tickets to the Maldives can vary substantially depending on where you fly from. You can use these guidelines to budget for your main international flights. If you want a cheaper experience, you may want to consider adding a detour to the Maldives onto an existing holiday to take advantage of cheaper flight routes.

Remember that you’ll likely need domestic flights or airport transfers on top of your main international airfare. There are four to five major international airports in the Maldives (with Malé International Airport being the most popular) and approximately eight domestic airports. However, since there are around 1,200 islands in the Maldives, you may find yourself on resort chartered seaplanes, too – especially if you book a luxury vacation. Seaplane transfers are the norm if you choose a luxury Maldives resort. Otherwise, there are still multiple airlines for domestic flights, and travel insurance should cover you for any flight hiccups.

You should budget an extra $300 for domestic flights in the Maldives and check transfer policies for your resort beforehand.

Maldives Accommodation Prices

The Maldives offers plenty of luxury resorts, and that’s no secret. It is known as  the  destination for those craving an all-inclusive package. Maldives resorts have a reputation for being expensive, which isn’t unjustified, especially if you want a romantic getaway to an overwater bungalow with private plunge pools. There’s a reason why it is one of the  best honeymoon destinations.  Think all-inclusive meal plans, an infinity pool, full board, room service, and cycling to your bungalow aesthetically on a beautiful wooden boardwalk – this version of the Maldives is a place of dreams. Many resorts offer this experience, including the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort and The Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. However, this doesn’t mean you won’t find a cheap travel package.

How much accommodation in the Maldives will cost depends on your travel style and when you visit. After all, you can find the best deals in low-season periods. As a whole, though, these are the rates you should budget for per accommodation type:

• Guesthouse: $80+ per night
• Double Room: $120+ per night
• Luxury Double Room: $200 per night
• Luxury Beach Villa: $1,000+ per night
• Overwater Bungalow: $2,000+ per night

As you can see, the type of accommodation you choose for your trip to the Maldives can massively impact your overall Maldives trip cost. This could be your most significant expense, so if you want a budget-friendly trip, opt for a guesthouse or double room stay in a lowkey hotel. These accommodation types usually offer a cheap travel package, a half-board meal plan, and a private pool. Similarly, consider lesser-known resorts if you want a luxury beach villa or overwater bungalow. These average prices can rise to $2000 a night at the most popular resorts. 

Maldives Transportation Costs

As mentioned earlier, it is wise to ask ‘how much does it cost’ when considering airport transfers. The Maldives has more than 1,200 islands, and whether you want airport transfers or day trips, you’ll have to factor in transportation at some point when calculating your Maldives trip cost. The good news is that local transportation doesn’t have to be the most expensive part of your trip to the Maldives. Let’s break things down.

Not factoring in your round trip airfare and initial airport transfers – be that domestic flights or shuttle services on speed boats – you should allow around $100 for transport. This is so low because if you book a day tour, transportation will likely be included. Furthermore, most resorts offer a complimentary shuttle service to nearby towns and busier islands, especially if they are set in a remote location.

If you carefully choose your resort and book mainly guided excursions and day tours, the only time you will need to factor in local transportation is if you decide to head out independently. Or if you choose to visit multiple islands in the Maldives, you can stay a few nights on each.

For these instances, you can catch the public ferry to cut costs, as local ferries are much more budget-friendly than private transport options. Or you can splurge on a more efficient short boat ride by speed boat. The speed boats run more reliably in low season, while local ferries are a great idea in peak season when the weather is good. The average price for these transport options is $5 for the local ferry and $35+ for the speed boat transfer. So, you can clearly see why you won’t need a vast public transportation budget. On individual islands, you can get around for free or extremely cheaply on foot or by bike.

Maldives Food Cost

Nothing screams ‘relaxing vacation’ like having an all-inclusive food and drink plan. Most resorts include a full board for those who choose to splurge on a luxury hotel or resort, meaning you’ll pay nothing for food or drink once you arrive. This is one way of wiping out one of the significant travel costs. Many people find it more cost-effective to book all-inclusive, especially if they aren’t planning long day trips requiring them to eat out and about.

However, for those who haven’t booked full or half board, how much does it cost to eat and drink in the Maldives? Food bills can quickly add up, particularly if you are taking a family trip with many mouths to feed.

Let’s break things down by travel style. A budget travel style involves groceries, street food vendors, and lowkey cafes and eateries. A mid-range travel style involves all the above, plus one or two fancy meals at luxury restaurants. And finally, a luxury travel style involves predominantly fancy meals at luxury restaurants. This is what you should budget per day, depending on your style:

• Budget: $25
• Mid-range: $50
• Luxury: $100

As a rough guide, a local restaurant meal should cost around $10, a luxury meal out can cost from $20 to $100, and street food costs around $5 per meal.

Cost of Tours and Activities in the Maldives

There are so many  things to do in the Maldives , and why visit a country if you miss out on experiencing its best qualities and attractions? You should budget around $500 on tours and activities in the Maldives as an absolute minimum. The average snorkeling excursion costs around $40, while island hopping and sunset cruises cost more than $100. You want to experience amazing things like  scuba diving  and island hopping around local islands on your Maldives vacation. Definitely, factor in as big a budget as you can for activities and tours into your overall Maldives cost; things like diving excursions and immersions in local culture provide you with a totally different experience of this tropical paradise.

To cut costs, you can always bring your own snorkeling gear. It is also worth noting that things like  sunset fishing experiences  can cost more upfront but work out cheaper when traveling to the Maldives in a group. Many tours operate on availability and group size basis, meaning it isn’t necessarily the most budget-friendly destination for the solo traveler, who will likely face additional single supplement rates. Remember this when planning your trip and budget extra for your overall Maldives cost.

Overall Maldives Trip Cost

Phew. We have covered a lot of ground. Overall, the main costs to consider for your trip to the Maldives are airfare, accommodation, and tours and activities. You can also check out our Maldives  travel tips  for more inspiration.

Let’s take a quick look at the average Maldives trip cost to give you a final summary and total.

Airfare: $1,300 round trip economy flights from the US, including domestic flight transfers

Airfare is one of your significant expenses when visiting the Maldives. The cost of round trip flights is around $1,000 from the US, plus approximately $300 in necessary domestic flights or relevant airport transfers to your resort or hotel’s island.

Accommodation: $80 per night on a budget, $200 per night mid-range, and $1500 per night for luxury

These are the average rates per night. Expect $80 per night for a guesthouse or basic hotel room option, $200 per night for an upscale double room – potentially with ocean views – and over $1,500 for a luxury ocean villa or overwater bungalow. Luxury resort prices can rise as high as or sometimes more than $20,000 per night.

Transport: $100, not including airport transfers and any domestic flights

If you are staying at a hotel that offers shuttle services or are booking guided day tours, chances are you won’t need to spend on public transportation. Keep $100 aside just in case, though, which should cover a roundtrip speed boat transfer and around four public ferry services.

Food: $25 per day if you are on a budget, half-board, or full-board

If you are on a budget and self-catered, sticking to $25 per day is easy. The average street food meal in the Maldives is just $5, and local restaurants have tons of options under $10.

On half board, you can easily budget a lunch at $25, even if you choose an upscale restaurant. And if you are on full board, you will barely need to eat out, so $25 per day won’t be an issue.

Tours and Activities: $500 minimum

You should budget $500 as a minimum for tours and activities in the Maldives. This budget should allow for 3-4 days of activities, with an extra budget required for more luxurious experiences like helicopter rides and fishing excursions.

Money Saving Tips

With all that in mind, you could save money and knock off some of that estimated Maldives trip cost. If that’s the case, this section is where you’ll find all the top tricks and secrets to reduce the cost of your trip to the Maldives. Why should you pay more than you have to? Adventure is for everybody. So, if you want to make your Maldives trip cost just a bit more financially accessible, these are the 10 things to save when visiting the Maldives.

1. Visit in the Low Season

Visiting in the low season is an incredible hack for the hardy, non-fair-weather travelers. The low season has cheap hotel rates and even free upgrades and transfer deals as hotels try to entice travelers to fill their empty rooms. The one catch? The low season is the wettest period to visit the Maldives. While it is still warm, you can expect an hour or two of rain most days. It is still worth visiting the Maldives in the low season, especially if you can stay longer or work remotely. In fact, the wet weather can make it an even more romantic destination.

The low season runs from May to November in the Maldives, with the official monsoon season from May to August. May until August is the rainiest time to visit the Maldives, with August to November still getting regular showers. August to November is your safest bet, and you still get cheaper rates than high season.

2. Choose Between Half Board and Full Board Carefully

The age-old question of how expensive the Maldives is massively stems from people browsing through the luxury resorts with all-inclusive packages. And when it comes to looking at packages, you should pay attention to half board vs. full board. Half board typically includes breakfast and dinner, while full board includes three meals daily.

Consider your eating style and the activities you will be participating in. Will you be going out on lots of day trips? Do you want to sample lots of local cuisine? If you answered yes to those questions, choosing a half-board option is likely more economical – especially as you’ll be missing lunch at the resort anyway.

3. Skip the Popular Islands – at Least for an Accommodation Base

You should really skip the famous islands if you are budget-conscious. The local islands are much lighter on your pocket and have more varied accommodations, not just luxury hotel and resort options. Plus, you’ll spend more sustainably and contribute more to economies off the beaten tourist track. On the famous islands, most of your spending gets taken straight back into the profit of corporate offshore companies and international chains.

4. Don’t Forget Transfers

At the same time, remember transfer costs. Finding  slightly  cheaper accommodation on a remote island is all well and good. However, you should remember that you need to fund getting there. The most popular transfers in the Maldives are via seaplane, speedboats, public ferries, and private planes. Consider your options, and always reference and compare the ‘how to get here’ sections when researching hotels.

5. Avoid Exchange Costs

If you travel regularly, you should already have a brilliant travel credit or debit card. One of the best things you can find on a credit or debit card is a no exchange rate charge. Many cards offer low charges when you use your card in a foreign country, but having no charge or exchange fee is the best way forward. Check out card companies such as Monzo, and if you still need to find your ideal card match, don’t delay your search. Hit the ground running in the Maldives and set yourself up for saving success by not taking on any unnecessary fees.

6. Check Out Free Activities

Next, you should always (always, always) research free activities when you want to cut costs on a trip. And if you want to cut your Maldives trip cost, this is one of the best solutions that requires minimal sacrifices in the way of entertainment. You could window shop at markets, bring your own snorkeling gear to enjoy cost-free snorkeling, or plan a sunset picnic experience on the beach. If you are staying at a resort, see what activities they offer for free. Who says you can’t have a fun itinerary on a budget?

7. Sign up for Rewards

Whether you bag rewards for a resort chain or frequent flyer points, you should always use reward systems. Reward programs are a little like penny falls games in an arcade; they build up suddenly, and you suddenly get a payout. But if you travel regularly, it is well worth keeping in mind. For instance,  Booking.com  has a tiered loyalty program system that can bag discounts and upgrades at participating properties.

8. Take the Public Ferry

One brilliant way to save money in the Maldives is to take a public ferry rather than a private or speedboat transfer. Yes, it will likely take longer, and you won’t be guaranteed as comfortable a crossing. But it can successfully help you cut costs. If you want to avoid spending extortionate private transfer fees, it is one of the best Maldives travel hacks. Public ferries run frequently between most destinations, with private islands being the slight exception to this rule.

9. Don’t Shop for Souvenirs on Male

Avoiding souvenir shopping in Male might sound overly cautious. Still, this island is one of the Maldives’ most touristy, and it has the highest souvenir prices. To cut costs, try to buy souvenirs from more local islands. You can take a day trip to more remote islands or choose an accommodation option in one of the less touristy areas in the Maldives. Either way, these quieter islands are where you should prioritize buying souvenirs. The profit goes to different communities, providing more sustainable tourism, and you save money on souvenir prices.

10. Guesthouses Rather than Luxury Resorts

Guesthouses are often more relaxing and authentic places to stay in the Maldives. If you aren’t desperate for the overwater bungalow experience, consider staying in a guesthouse to reduce your Maldives trip cost. Guesthouses usually offer half board and sometimes even cooking facilities. They tend to be authentic accommodation choices run and owned by island residents, and for solo travelers especially, it can be the perfect idea for a sociable place to stay with a supportive atmosphere. And even if you just want a short overwater bungalow experience, you could always spend one night in a luxury resort before heading off to a guesthouse on a different island.

To Conclude

The Maldives is actually suitable for a pretty impressive range of budget types. It isn’t just a high-budget destination for luxury-seeking travelers. However, you will have a fantastic time if that’s what you want. Have a beautiful holiday in the Maldives, and invest in some day trips and cultural activities – no matter how aesthetic and comfortable your resort is.

Quick Facts About Maldives

Best time to visit maldives.

Maldives makes for an ideal international holiday destination around the year, thanks to its weather conditions. Generally, there are two main tourism seasons in the region, and as per your schedule, you can pick a time that fits your travel criteria the most. Summer, which usually stretches from December to April, is popularly considered the best season to visit Maldives. The region experiences a peak tourist crowd during this time, with an average temperature range of 24°C to 31°C. It also experiences very little to no rainfall during this dry season. Hence, the pleasant temperature and the clear days enable a wide range of tourist activities, such as sightseeing, sunbathing, beachside water adventures, etc. The Summer season is also the best time to visit Maldives for scuba diving and snorkelling adventures due to the increased underwater visibility. In addition, a number of renowned regional events and festivals are celebrated in Maldives during this period. As it is the peak tourism season, make sure to book flights and hotels a few weeks prior to the vacation to Maldives to avoid unavailability issues. Also, make sure to pack sufficient light-coloured clothes, swimwear and sunscreen for the journey. You can easily book a Maldives package from India scheduled within the summer season. 

Following the dry season comes the wet season in Maldives. Monsoon in this archipelagic state usually stretches from May to November and is considered the shoulder season for tourism. If you are visiting the Maldives during this time, you will come across a comparatively lower tourist crowd and may secure some decent discounts on flights and accommodations. The average temperature during this period usually ranges from the mid to high 20s. However, the two main reasons that cause the tourist crowd to dip during the wet season in the Maldives are the high humidity and frequent rainfall. As it obstructs outdoor activities, some tourists like to avoid scheduling their Maldives travel during this time. But even so, these occurrences are not massive obstacles if you fancy exploring the rain-soaked islands and the cities. The regional flora also takes up a vibrant shroud, further enhancing the tourism experience. Massive festivals and events, such as Prophet’s Birthday, National Day, Republic Day, Eid Ul-Adha, etc., are celebrated during this period. Make sure to carry an umbrella and suitable clothes for the trip, and check the weather report before going out. If you schedule the journey during this period, you can save a good chunk of money from your overall Maldives trip cost from India.

How to Reach Maldives?

An important part of planning a trip to Maldives is to select a viable transport option. Here are some of the best ways to reach Maldives :

By road or rail

One of the best ways to reach this archipelagic state is via flight. The Velana International Airport, also called the Male International Airport, is the largest airport serving the Maldives.

Travelling to Maldives by sea is a popular alternative to flights. Despite being time-demanding, this method adds a unique perspective to the whole journey.

As the Maldives is an archipelagic state located around 750 kilometres from the mainland of Asia, it doesn’t have any sort of road or rail connectivity with other countries in the region.

• The coconut tree is one of the most important trees in the Maldives. Apart from offering delicious fruit and shade by the beachside, its leaves, shells, fibres and wood are used for a variety of purposes, such as creating handicrafts, traditional dhonis, rope, etc.

Similar to most international destinations, foreigners are required to have a valid visa in order to enter Maldives for tourism, business or other purposes. However, Indians planning on visiting this archipelagic state for a vacation will be glad to hear that they are not required to pre-arrange a visa for the visit. The Maldives offer visa-on-arrival, which has a maximum stay limit of 30 days, that Indian nationals can make use of. The basic entry requirements required for this feature include things like a valid passport, a few passport-sized photographs, valid accommodation proof, proof of sufficient financial means, a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate, a valid return ticket and a travel declaration. Additionally, children/minors are required to have their own passports in order to enter the Maldives. The visa on arrival offered by the Maldives to Indian nationals is issued free of any cost, however, a charge will be applied in case of an extension. The procedure for acquiring the Maldives tourist visa is as follows:

• Upon arrival, a Maldives Tourist Form will be provided at the airport
• Duly fill out the form with the correct details and submit it alongside the necessary documentation required by the government 
• Go through the short interview following the form submission, and you will receive the visa.

The official currency in Maldives is called Maldivian Rufiyaa (code: MVR). It is controlled by Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) and is denoted by the sign: Rf. As of the time of writing, the approximate value of 1 Maldivian Rufiyaa is around 5.37 Indian Rupee. It is better to acquire foreign currency, in this case, Maldivian Rufiyaa, for the purpose of spending and paying for services in the Maldives.

OUR MALDIVES TRIP COST

31 May 2023   ||    MALDIVES

The Robinson Crusoe idyllic island dream, conjured up by images of the Maldives, is a bucket list experience for many. However, the eye-watering Maldives trip cost is often just too steep to consider. 

I’m not going to lie; our initial thought wasn’t ‘isn’t the Maldives expensive?’.

It was, in fact, not a thought at all. It didn’t occur to me to even consider a trip to the Maldives, because I simply assumed it was out of our budget. However, as budget travellers, we managed to spend two weeks in paradise without totally bankrupting ourselves. This means that it is not an impossible destination to visit on a budget!

Having spent two weeks in the Maldives hopping around six different islands , we’ve recorded every penny spent on accommodation, food, sim cards, transport and more so you can see how to experience the glistening blue oceans and white, sugary beaches while keeping your Maldives trip cost at a fraction of a resort price.

MALDIVES TRIP COST: OUR EXACT BUDGET

HOW CAN YOU TRAVEL CHEAPER?

Final Thoughts – MALDIVES TRIP COST

The currency in the Maldives is called the Maldivian rufiyaa (MVR) and is sometimes denoted RF. It is further split into 100 laari per one rufiyaa.  The rufiyaa is available as 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 notes. Coins are available as 1 and 2 rufiyaa and 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 laari.

The currency in the Maldives is closed, so MVR cannot be purchased outside of the country like euros or dollars.

The Maldivian rufiyaa (and laari) are super cute and feature numerous island themed representations including conch shells, dhoni boats, early Dhivehi scripture and scenes of island life.

Currently, these are the exchange rates in 2023 (but you can check xe.com or Google for up-to-date rates):

1 GBP = 19 MVR

1 USD = 15.3 MVR

1 EURO = 16.5 MVR

1 INR = 0.2 MVR

1 RUB = 0.19 MVR

In this post, if we specific a price in MVR, we have also given the rough equivalent in U.K. pounds using the exchange rate we had in 2023.

Many hotels or restaurants on the more touristy inhabited islands of the Maldives will accept credit card. There are also ATMs on some islands outside of Malé. However, there is often only one machine per island, so it is always best to have cash (in U.S. dollars) in case of any malfunction.

There is an official Bank of Maldives money exchange at the airport and other currency exchanges can be found all over Malé and Hulhumalé. If you use the Bank of Maldives money exchange at the airport, retain your receipt. Without it, they will not convert leftover rufiyaa back at the end of a trip.

In the Maldives, dollars are widely accepted along with the national currency. Speedboats and water-based activities are often priced in dollars, along with food in touristy restaurants. Shops and regular restaurants will advertise in MVR. We (nearly) exclusively used MVR.

FLIGHTS TO THE MALDIVES

We exclusively book our flights through Skyscanner . It’s the cheapest way to book flights from anywhere in the world.

If you book your flights to the Maldives through our link below, we make a tiny commission that helps to keep this site running, at zero cost to you. Thank you!

Here, we provide some detail about all the specific things that went into our Maldives trip cost total during our two week trip.

⋅ Maldives Trip Cost - Transport ⋅

Transport in the Maldives is where you’ll most likely be pleasantly surprised – it is incredibly affordable (mostly). Public ferries, buses and short speedboat trips are amazingly good value. However, we did not get any seaplanes or particularly long distance or private speedboats. These can destroy a Maldives trip cost budget very quickly. 

Public Ferries

We bounced between four different atolls and took a lot of ferries! The most we ever paid for a ferry journey was 53 MVR (£2.80) per person for a three-and-a-half-hour journey. Some routes were as cheap as 22 MVR (£1.16). For more information on organising your transport, check out our ferries guide with all the schedules.

The buses in Malé and Hulhumalé are well-priced and very modern, clean and safe. The price for a single ticket ranges from 5 MVR (£0.26) to 15 MVR (£0.79). We used several of the buses to go between Malé, Hulhumalé and Velana International Airport. We mention more about the buses in our Maldives ferries post.

Public Speedboats

Maldives public speedboats were the most expensive form of transport we took between islands (but also the fastest and most regular). The cheapest speedboat we took was 25 USD per person and the most expensive was 50 USD. Some longer speedboat routes will cost a lot more than this.

The prices for taxis within, and between, Malé and Hulhumalé are set by the government and, in theory, are the same for specific journeys. The most expensive trip should cost 85 MVR (£4.50). We took two taxis during our trip.

⋅ Maldives Trip Cost - Activities ⋅

Outside of accommodation, activities will likely be the largest chunk of your Maldives trip cost – they are not cheap! Depending on the island, there are options to snorkel, dive, island/sandbank hop, go on fishing tours and even visit resort islands as a day trip. Activities vary from one hour to full day excursions.

Prices for activities vary hugely from island to island and also depend on if you organise through your accommodation or with a tour operator (these vary widely).

On Ukulhas, for example, a six and a half hour snorkelling and island-hopping tour cost 50 USD, whereas a one-hour snorkelling tour on Fulidhoo cost 25 USD.

We’ve written individually about Thulusdhoo , Ukulhas , Maafushi and Thoddoo and included some excursion prices if you are curious.

We did not do any excursions while on the islands, snorkelling the house reefs were fine for us and kept our Maldives trip cost down.

⋅ Maldives Trip Cost - Food and Drink ⋅

In our experience, food in the Maldives was extremely reasonable on the local islands. This is especially the case for food that would normally cost a massive amount in European countries! Typically, meals are (unsurprisingly) seafood-based, with fresh tuna an extremely popular and affordable option (tuna is cheaper than vegetables and potatoes).

There are also fried snacks (once again made of fish, although you may be told they are vegetarian). These are sold everywhere and are great value.

Below is a list of some typical prices across the capital Malé and adjoining Hulhumalé, plus some of the inhabited islands we visited.

Alcohol is illegal on the inhabited islands, so we spent no money on this. There are a few ‘booze boats’ which we did not visit, however a representative price is more than five U.S. dollars for a small, basic beer.

Street/Snack Food Costs in the Maldives

A number of cafes, restaurants and shops sell little affordable snack food items, or ‘hedhikaa’, which can be sweet or savoury. Here are a few of the things we purchased:

♦  For a long ferry journey commencing in Malé, we bought four large masroshi (spicy tuna inside fried dough), some small cake slices and two kavaabu (spicy fish fritters) for 37 MVR (about £2).

♦ During  another Malé ferry transfer day, we bought a whole bag of potato and tuna snacks for 28 MVR (£1.50).

♦  Hulhumalé had masses of Indian style snacks; we bought loads for 27 MVR (£1.45).

♦  On Thulusdhoo, we bought veggie, fish and prawn street bites for 30 MVR (£1.60).

These snacks are incredibly affordable (and decent portion sizes too). Each of the purchases described above constituted a two people lunch or large snack. However, they are often fried and not the healthiest (but we are on a budget and they are cheap!). Be aware, many snacks are described as vegetarian even though they are clearly made with fish.

Restaurant Costs in the Maldives

With Indian and Sri Lankan influence, a typical Maldivian local restaurant is likely to serve various styles of simple curry accompanied by paroti-type bread. These were commonly the most affordable items on any menu. Here are some local (and non-local) meal choices we made across some islands, with total prices for two people:

♦  Hulhumalé : absolutely enormous, superb smoked tuna pizza – 225 MVR (£11.90)

♦  Maafushi : tuna burger and tuna koltha – 165 MVR (£8.70); pumpkin curry, lentil dhal and two large breads – 160 MVR (£8.45)

♦  Thulusdhoo : two dhals, a fish curry and four breads – 140 MVR (£7.40); pumpkin melt, kale pesto toast and a date pudding ball – 240 MVR (£12.70); two vegetable curries and a dhal and four breads – 175 MVR (£9.25); dhal, vegetable masala, four breads – 170 MVR (£9.00)

♦  Ukulhas : fish and veg curry with rice, a variety of Indian snacks and breads – 172 MVR (£9.10); 2 vegetable curries with rice and fries – 268 MVR (£14.15)

♦  Thoddoo : gigantic tuna burger and tuna koltha 145 MVR – (£7.65)

Some hotels offer a full-board option. We utilised this in Fulidhoo as it’s a tiny island with almost no restaurants and it seemed like a good deal at the time. It’s the first time we’ve ever been full board and personally, we hated it. We dislike eating late in the evening (mosquitos are out in force) and there were very few vegetarian options. This option may suit some people, but on the busier islands, we’d recommend finding your own dinner!

Market and Shop Prices in the Maldives

As moderate budget travellers, we spend a fair amount of time in markets and shops. (It’s also the only place you stand a chance in hell of definitely getting budget vegetarian food in the Maldives!). These are some example prices of foods on various islands that we saw:

♦  Supermarket on Malé: a small ‘pot noodle’ was 15 MVR (£0.79) and a pre-sliced large loaf of bread was 11 MVR (£0.55). 

♦ A n upscale bakery in Hulhumalé: cupcakes were 12 MVR (£0.63) each and a blueberry cheesecake slice was 40 MVR (£2.11).

♦ A  shop on Ukulhas: a large pot noodle was 25 MVR (£1.32), a large box of cookies was 40 MVR (£2.11) and a large chocolate milk was 30 MVR (£1.59).

♦  Cans of Coke/Pepsi/iced coffee were typically around 15 MVR (£0.80) on Malé and Hulhumalé. Large bottles of water were available for under 10 MVR (it is not recommended to drink water on the inhabited islands). Very few hotels had free refill drinking water unfortunately.

Prices on the islands were often a little more than on the mainland for most shop items (Coke/Pepsi was 20 MVR rather than 15 MVR on most islands we visited). Chocolate and anything needing refrigeration will likely be the most expensive thing in any shop except sunblock (195 MVR for 100 ml (£10.30)).

There is minimal fresh fruit and vegetables on the islands. Each island has some in at least one shop, but the variety leaves you with few choices, especially without the use of a kitchen. Naturally, Thoddoo was the best island we visited for fresh food, as it’s an agricultural island!

⋅ Maldives Trip Cost - Accommodation ⋅

Our largest expense in the Maldives was accommodation. Every place we stayed had breakfast and on-island transport to the hotel included (staff meet guests at the ferry port with an electric golf buggy to help with luggage). The breakfasts were decent sized (tuna based, obviously), sometimes even buffet style, so we ate the equivalent of three meals worth of food each morning. The guesthouses often also had free bicycles and snorkelling gear.

We booked our accommodation, at most, about three days in advance during high season (January). It is possible to save a huge amount of money by booking further ahead. In the Maldives, we used booking.com; it was the cheapest, always.

We also chose mid-range (ish) accommodation that was not the cheapest on each island. Our rooms had quality aircon (the Maldives is HOT and I was recovering from dengue fever), comfortable beds and reliable hot water. Depending on your preferences, you could easily spend a lot less than us.

We’ve discussed our accommodation choices at length on the individual posts about Thulusdhoo , Thoddoo , Ukulhas and Maafushi if you’re interested in our recommendations.

⋅ Maldives Trip Cost - Miscellaneous ⋅

We didn’t spend anything in the Maldives other than on two sim cards for miscellaneous expenses. Other expenditure could include sunblock, insect repellent and medication (bring these with you, they’re expensive!).

Never buy sunblock in the Maldives, just on principle. Small tubes are around £10.

SIM Card Prices in the Maldives

There are two Maldives SIM card providers for tourists arriving at Velana International Airport: Ooredoo and Dhiraagu.

Ooredoo and Dhiraagu offer similar deals, so we chose Ooredoo as we’ve used them before in other countries. We bought two Ooredoo 30-day Tourist SIM cards for an eye-watering 35 USD each. These both came with 17 GB of data. (This stung as we arrived in the Maldives from Thailand where unlimited super-speedy data was less than £5 a month!).

A better option in the Maldives is an e-sim if you have a compatible phone (we only found this deal out after we left). Airalo offer an Ooredoo 30-day tourist e-sim for 30 USD for the same 17 GB of data, which is five dollars cheaper and you don’t have to wait in a sweaty queue at the Ooredoo airport stand! We’ve used Airalo in other countries (most recently in Tunisia ) and thoroughly recommend them. Check out Airalo sims if you’re interested.

We recommend having a data package in the Maldives if you need to stay connected – Wi-Fi was not always reliable or fast.

MALDIVES TRIP COST - OUR EXACT BUDGET

Below is the total of our costs for two people across all the categories above, broken down into sections. We spent a total of 28,100 MVR (£1480) for two weeks in the Maldives. This means we spent £105 a day , which is £52.50 per person .

Speedboats  – 3850 MVR (£202.60)

Ferries  – 475 MVR (£25.00)

Taxis  – 240 MVR (£12.60)

Activities – 0

Food & Drink  – 4460 MVR (£234.70)

Accommodation – 18000 MVR (£947.40)

Miscellaneous  – 1078 MVR (£56.70)

MALDIVES TRIP COST - How can you be cheaper?

Although we were reasonably happy with our expenditure on the Maldives trip cost pie above (since resorts can be upwards of £350-500 a night), you can be much, much cheaper. Below are some of our suggestions for lowering your Maldives trip cost.

⋅ Plan Your Route Carefully ⋅

As you can see from the Maldives trip cost chart above, a big chunk of our costs were from speedboats.

We messed up and had to get a speedboat because we misread a ferry schedule. This would have been easily avoidable and saved nearly 100 USD on the total above!

We also wanted to explore lots of islands and only decided which ones several days before, meaning there was no choice but to take a speedboat to the North Ari Atoll because of ferry scheduling.

If you’re travelling within certain atolls, the ferries operate daily, so it’s rarely necessary to catch a speedboat. With less popular routes, you’ll need to pre-plan and choose your route in advance to avoid the expensive transport.

For a full guide to planning your route, check out our Maldives public ferries guide.

⋅ Pre-Book Your Accommodation ⋅

We only booked around 1-3 days in advance. From our Maldives trip cost chart, it’s obvious we spent a tonne on accommodation!

Pre-booking where you will stay through apps like agoda, hotels.com or booking.com can help lower your Maldives trip cost below ours significantly. 

We also stayed during the expensive time of year – accommodation prices reduce in the down season. So if you want to reduce costs further, consider visiting in a less popular month.

⋅ Eat Local and Pay in MVR ⋅

We were actually pretty cheap with food in the Maldives. If you want to reduce your costs below ours, then choosing only local food will make your bill significantly cheaper. This means avoiding pizza, burgers, fries and anything that sounds a bit western. Mexican and Italian cuisine was noticeably more expensive, and meat (not seafood) dishes too. We found curries and kothu roshi dishes to be the cheapest in restaurants.

Our most expensive food was a colossal pizza in Hulhumalé and vegan sandwiches in Thulusdhoo, so avoid stuff like that.

Restaurants attached to hotels (which often have a giveaway of advertising prices in dollars) were generally more expensive than independent places too.

Look for prices quoted in MVR, if you pay in USD your meal will definitely cost more (the exchange rates used are not favourable).

⋅ Choose Your Islands Well (also local reefs can be great) ⋅

Each locally inhabited island in the Maldives will have different prices for basically the same activities. Have a think about what activities you may be interested in before choosing your islands to try and minimise this trip cost.

For example, if you’re a surfer, choose an island closer to the surf breaks (we would recommend the North Malé Atoll for surfing). If you want to ride a jet ski, for example, find islands with the best rates; Maafushi was far more reasonably priced than Fulidhoo where one hour on a jet ski was $140! 

House reefs are normally pretty decent for sea life sightings (sharks, turtles, fish etc.) and snorkelling gear is often free with your guesthouse (no guarantee on quality though). If snorkelling is an activity you love, choose islands with great house reefs (we were told Omedhoo has an amazing one!).

FINAL THOUGHTS - Maldives Trip Cost

Well, the Maldives islands aren’t exactly cheap, but they’re not so expensive either. For an epic, secluded beach retreat in the middle of the Indian Ocean, a Maldives trip cost of £100 a day for two people isn’t bad.

We think that our costs are actually really high, and you could easily get it down to £70 a day or less (mainly by booking ahead and not messing up the ferries!).

I’ve written it in other posts already, but the Maldives is more than just a beach destination. It’s a fantastic country with a culture that, until recently, was off limits to foreigners (local islands have only been open for tourism since 2009). I’m so happy that this fascinating little country is now affordable for more travellers who can experience it for themselves, taking the emphasis off high-end tourist-only resorts.

We hope you have an amazing (and affordable) trip!

Thank you! Lots of information that will help us with our up and coming trip 🙂 when booking accommodation on Booking.com for example, they display taxes and fees, do you pay anything else on top of these ? Thank you again, we really enjoyed reading your blog 🙂

Thanks so much, so glad we could help! We didn’t pay anything extra on top of the Booking dot Com fees for hotels. We always tried to prepay on the app/website too in order to avoid having to carry around lots of cash – so all we paid was the amount debited initially via Booking. Hope that answers your question! Have an amazing Maldives trip 🙂

Great, that makes things easier, we will definitely follow your advice, your blog is now our Maldives guide book! thank you again :-))))

Great blog. Thanks for all the infos and prices, came in very handy.

So happy to be of help.

Planning a trip to Maldives from India in Budget

The Maldives is a luxury destination, true; the Maldives is a beautiful beachside destination, again, true. The Maldives tour package is a costly vacation . False. Not true. Read that again. I am not sure how or when this myth started spreading like wildfire across the world, but if there is anybody who avoided traveling to the Maldives because of this reason, I pity them. Possible reasons for them to have decided against traveling to the Maldives could be uneducated opinions from neighbors or transactional travel agents. Now, before we start off, I want to acknowledge the fact that there are costly resorts in the Maldives; I am not denying that. This does not mean that you will be able to travel to the group of islands only if you spend a fortune. Let us look at some possible ways to plan a budget Maldives honeymoon package or a family trip.

Lets us first clarify some things for you!

• Yes! you can definitely plan a Budget Trip to Maldives from India
• The minimum budget for a visit to Maldives would be Rs 50,000.
• Understand what type of stay experience you expect, and plan accordingly

One easy way to go around this would be to segregate the entire trip and observe what all costs you will incur. The costs that come to my mind for a Maldives vacation are:

• Drinks (if necessary)

Book flights early to Maldives

Speaking of flights, the closer you are to the Maldives, the less the flights will cost you. This one is a no-brainer. But how do we save money on the flights regardless of where we start from ?

Book the tickets early ! Airlines follow the policy of pricing tickets based on demand and supply. Getting ahead in the line could potentially save you a lot of money. There will be no visa costs as the Maldives only requires an on-arrival visa, which is just a stamp on your passport once you land in Male – their capital city.

Below is an approximate cost of flights from India.

Visit Maldives in off season

The Maldives is one destination that needs to be enjoyed for its luxurious stay. This is easily doable for someone planning a budget trip. Yes, you heard that right. By choosing to visit the Maldives during the off-season, you can cut major accommodation costs. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the Maldives during the months of May and November.

Maldives Packages Starting @ ₹78,000

5* Resorts. Water Villas. Customizable Itineraries.

Choose the right accommodation in Maldives

Now comes the next critical part of the vacation. The resort accommodations is another thing to focus on to plan a budget trip to Maldives. The island nation has resorts which charge exorbitant amounts of money and those which charge reasonably as well. There is no need to be scared if you come across resorts which charge your monthly salary for a one night stay. Did you LoL ? Well, I am not joking here…

The Maldives comprises of more than 150 inhabited islands. This will instil belief in anybody that there will be at least 5 of those islands which will have resort stays that fall under their budget. Be patient and keep looking ! Let me expedite that process for you… Here is a list of the top 10 budget friendly resorts in Maldives. Some notable budget-friendly resorts are:

• Makunudu Island Resort
• Coco Bodu hithi Maldives
• Sun Siyam Olhuveli Resort Maldives
• Reethi Faru Resort

Choose Beach front Villas instead of Water Villas in Maldives

Another pointer that might be helpful is that over-water villas are much more expensive than beachfront villas; this is mainly due to the difference in their maintenance costs.

A budget trip to the Maldives cannot be executed properly by choosing to stay in Water Villas alone. So if you really do not have a preference, go for the Beach villas. But I would suggest not missing out on the Water villas in Maldives and finding the right balance to cut down on costs.

That is where split-stays come into play. Splitting your stay in the resort with a certain number of nights in a Beach Villa and some more nights in a water villa will result in affordability, and you will definitely not miss out on the overall experience of staying in both types of villas.

Below is an approximate minimum cost of Beach villa and Water villa.

Choose the right mode of Transfer.

The major portion of your costs has been covered till now. Transfers are an important element that might make or break your plan. Once you land at the Velanna International Airport in Male city, you will need some form of transport to take you to the resort/private island.

These transfers could be done via: Speedboat, Seaplane, or Domestic flight + Speedboat. More often than not, the type of transfer is decided by how far the resort is located from the International airport. Resorts closer to the airport use a speedboat transfer and the ones far away use either a Seaplane transfer or a domestic flight + speedboat transfer.

Basic rule of thumb is to choose shared speedboats as they cost much lesser than the other two options. This will cost anywhere around 20 USD per person for a one-way trip. Seaplanes will cost you anywhere from 125 USD to 250 USD per person for a one-way trip. In terms of cost, Domestic flight + Speedboat transfers come in between the above two choices.

Save Money in Food and Drinks

Food and drinks are costly in the Maldives, and honestly, a person like me who eats a lot will end up spending more on the food than on the stay. So how do we tread carefully here ? The safest bet is to book all of your stay, transfers, and food as a bundled package. If you book all of these together, you will be able to save a lot. I had mentioned Reethi Faru as a budget-friendly resort, even though they operate a seaplane transfer. So resorts that offer seaplane transfers are not necessarily costly – it is just a matter of how you make the bookings.

Save Money in Water Sports

The final category is all about the activities: water sports, sunset cruises, candle-light dinners, floating breakfasts, etc. There is only one way to reduce costs on this front: by reducing the number of activities you indulge in. My suggestion would be to take up only the main activities that are famous in the Maldives.

Snorkeling and scuba diving through coral reefs, for example, are breathtaking experiences that you should not pass up. You can also bring your own watersports equipment, which will cut down on your costs on a major level. Selecting each activity based on your interests, budget, and experience is key. I am confident that you will now have a better idea of how to plan the perfect budget trip to Maldives !

Remember we spoke about transactional travel agents in the beginning? Well, we at Pickyourtrail are focused on being travel consultants and not mere agents. What I mean by that is we try to leave our customers more educated than how they came to us. We value quality over quantity.

Is Maldives Expensive?

Traveling to the Maldives is, for the most part, expensive.

Maldives Vacation Cost

Remember that a few key factors can make two similar trips to the Maldives differ drastically in cost. If you’re looking to save money on your trip, take these into consideration:

• Travel high season vs. low season costs: Traveling in the low season (May to November) means you can find prices for resorts, tours, and excursions drop by up to 50% or more. You won’t be guaranteed sunny skies, but you’ll have an unforgettable trip for a fraction of the cost.
• Transportation costs from the international airport: From the international airport, you’ll need to determine how to make it to your resort. The further you stay from the international airport, the most expensive transportation can be – even a short seaplane or speedboat ride can get pricey! Consider choosing a resort on an island closer to the airport for a more affordable stay.

Of course, your flight tickets to get you to the Maldives will be an additional expense, highly dependent on where you’re traveling from and when you’re traveling. Make sure to consider this factor when considering Maldive trip cost and planning your experience.

Offering private rooms with private bathrooms, a beautiful patio, and just steps from the white-sand beaches, you’ll love this place. For a five-night stay at Stingray Beach Inn during the high season, expect to pay $446 (for all five nights) for a standard room with double occupancy . During the low season, the price for the stay would fall to $247 for the same room over five nights.

Food and Drinks

Staying on a populated island, you’ll have your choice of where to eat, choosing from an array of restaurants and cafes on the island. Though this makes it challenging to plan how much you’ll spend over the course of a vacation, budget anywhere from $25-60 per person per day for food.

Transportation

You’ll have your pick of options for reaching Maafushi from the international airport in Malé. The most economical option is taking the public ferry, just $5 per person each way for the 1.5-hour journey. Alternatively, you can take a 40-minute speedboat ride for $37 per person.

Maafushi has a number of tour and excursion operators, offering everything from scuba diving and snorkeling trips to water sports and more. Depending on your interests, you may want to budget up to $100 for excursions per person, though this is up to personal discretion.

For a five-night vacation on Maafushi and stay at Stingray Beach Inn during the high season and with added expenses like excursions and nicer meals, two travelers can expect to pay up to $1,514 in total. During the low season and choosing cheaper meals and fewer excursions, you could pay as little as $567 for the same trip.

Budget Travel Budget Breakdown

Budget-friendly hotels and resorts do exist in the Maldives! You can enjoy some nice spots with impressive amenities, beautiful beaches, and excellent excursion options. If you can travel during the off-season, you’ll save even more on your Maldives trip cost, or have the option of choosing an even nicer resort.

Five Nights at Reethi Beach Resort

Reethi Beach Resort is one of the most budget-friendly resorts in the Maldives. Here you’ll find a great mix of amenities if you’re traveling on a budget, and rates get even more budget-friendly if you travel during the low season. While you’ll need to factor in the cost of a seaplane or domestic flight from Malé’s international airport, overall this is a great choice for budget travelers.

For a five-night stay at Reethi Beach Resort during the high season, expect to pay $1,090 for a standard room directly on the beach with a private patio or balcony. During the low season, the price for the stay would fall to $677 for the same room. You can also choose from cottages of overwater villas.

Reethi Beach Resort is most easily accessible via a 40-minute seaplane flight from Malé’s international airport. Alternatively, you can select a domestic flight to a nearby airport, followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride. Seaplane rides are $420.00 per adult or $252.00 per child.

You’ll also need to factor in the cost of all-inclusive meal plans, which are quite affordable compared to the a la carte food and beverage prices at the resort. While these rates aren’t available online, consider factoring in at least $100 per person for food and beverage at the resort.

Make sure your Maldives trip cost budget includes any excursions, experiences, or activities you’d want to take advantage of at the resort – at least $150 per person, though this depends on your interest level.

For an all-inclusive five-night stay at Reethi Beach Resort during the high season, two travelers can expect to pay $3,430 in total. During the low season, the cost for the same trip would be $3,017.

Mid-Range Budget Breakdown

Whether you’re a budget traveler able to push your budget by traveling in the off-season or looking for that high-season crystal-clear skies, you’ll find some great options in this price range, even if you’re willing to push your Maldives trip cost just a little higher.

Five Nights at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa

For a traveler on a mid-range budget, you won’t find a better deal in the Maldives than the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa . With perks like transportation included and an array of room styles and options to choose from, it’s a great choice customizable to your budget and preferences.

During the low season, the price for the stay would fall to $1,150 for the same room. You can also choose from cottages with private pools or overwater villas with the works.

A major benefit of Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa , and a reason why we love to recommend it is that it offers a complimentary speedboat ride for all guests. Located just 15 minutes by speedboat from the international airport in Malé though it feels just as remote and private as any other Maldives resort , this complimentary transportation saves travelers a huge expense.

For an all-inclusive five-night stay at Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa during the high season, two travelers can expect to pay $3,540 in total. During the low season, the cost for the same trip would be $2,650.

Popular maldives tour packages, faqs about maldives tour packages.

Q. How is Maldives as a destination for solo travellers? A. Before going through Maldives packages figure out your prerogative, whether you would be travelling solo, as a couple or with your family. Interestingly, there are several packages meant exclusively for the solo traveller, for plenty of people around the world love travelling solo to The Maldives. An island most popular with backpackers is Maafushi, about 27 kilometre from the capital Male, on the South Male Atoll. The reason for the island’s popularity with backpackers and solo travellers is its vast array of opportunities and considerably low prices of accommodation. This biggish island with its population of around 3000 people is replete with little attractions and places of sightsee and, not to mention, snow-white beaches skirting an azure sea, diving sites and places to go angling in. There is a glut of plush guesthouses, holiday homes and hotels on the beach and amid scenic wilderness too, which are more budget-friendly than those you would find at more remoter beaches with a solitary resort. Backpackers love Maafushi’s Bikini Beach, the narrow strip of sand which has several seafood restaurants along with a few hotels and a dive centre. Q. What is the best season to travel to Maldives? A. Maldives tour packages can be booked round the year, but you need to be aware of the archipelago’s seasons and which most ideal for a visit. The only season in Maldives is the monsoon. But there are distinctly different monsoon it experiences; the dry and wet monsoon. The wet monsoon is typically the summer months, from May up to November, when you might find frequent rain showers and humidity through the day. The average day temperature reaches a maximum 29 degree Celsius in these months. The frequent rains lowers the water temperature making it imperfect for scuba diving or snorkelling, and with no seasonal oceanic currents you wouldn’t have any visibility for spotting marine life. But it is a good time for budget travellers since the hotel rates are significantly slashed owing to lower footfalls. The dry monsoon spell from December to April is when tourists arrive by the busloads to the Maldives. The humidity is under control in these months and the rains have nearly petered out, limited only to a light mizzle in the afternoons and night. The temperature at this time lingers between 27 and 29 degree Celsius. But since Maldives does not receive cyclones or high winds at any point, you can have a pleasant time in this tropical paradise. Q. Are there direct flights from India to Maldives? A. Before settling for one of the Maldives holiday packages you need to first book your flights and look for direct connectivity from your city to Male, the capital of the Maldives. Maldives’ closest neighbours are India and Sri Lanka, lying to the south-west of Trivandrum in Kerala and to the east-west of Sri Lanka. There are direct flights from Colombo in Sri Lanka to Male and now there are non-stop flights to the Maldives from all major Indian metros such as Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kochi. The domestic carriers that connect Indian cities to the Maldives include SpiceJet, IndiGo, AirAsia, national carrier Air India, Vistara and GoFirst, and the international airlines serving the route comprise Sri Lankan Airlines, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, China Southern, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Etihad, Hong Kong Airlines to name a few. There are flights from Delhi to Male too, but it comes with a stopover in either Kochi, Bangalore or Mumbai. Q. Where exactly is the Maldives? A. The Maldives is an archipelagic country with nearly 1200 islands formed out of natural atolls. It lies on the Indian Ocean to the south-west of Kerala’s capital, Trivandrum and on the east-west side of Sri Lanka. SriLankan airlines , for instance, operates flights from Colombo that get you to Male in an hour straight. India and Sri Lanka are the Maldives’ closest neighbours. Q. What is the visa procedure for a holiday in the Maldives? A. The Maldives provides visa on-arrival to its visitors provided you hold a passport that has validity of six months and more and can produce your hotel booking voucher or invoice stating the precise dates of check-in and out, as well as your return flight ticket details. This can be done by queuing up at the immigrating counter of the Male International Airport. Q. What is an accepted currency in the Maldives? A. While the Maldivian Rufiyaa is the national currency with 1 Maldivian Rufiyaa being equal to 4.47 Indian Rupees, the USD remains the more accepted currency for tourists. Your resorts prefer you pay up for any additional services in USD. Even when pursuing water activities or boat cruises, you need to make your deposit in USD. On a trip to the Maldives, ensure you have enough USD loaded up in your multi-currency card aside from carrying a small wad of cash. Q. Can I visit the Maldives in the summer months? A. The Maldives receives two kinds of monsoon, wet monsoon and dry monsoon. In the summer months which is the wet monsoon season that lasts between May and November isn’t quite ideal for a trip because the rain showers are intense and the humidity levels are also quite high. The average temperature lingers at 29 degree Celsius in these months. It is also not the best season for scuba diving or snorkelling because the water temperatures are lower and there are no seasonal oceanic currents as well leading to reduced visibility for marine life spotting. But this may well be a good time to get some off-season rates at hotels. Q. Are there frequent flights in and out of the Maldives? A. Yes, the Maldives have emerged into a well-travelled destination across the world with regular flights in and out of the Male International Airport. Some popular airlines with flights to the Maldives include Sri Lankan Airlines, SpiceJet, GoAir, IndiGo, Air India, Air France, Emirates, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, Etihad, AirAsia, Qatar Airways, China Southern, Hong Kong Airlines among others. Q. What sort of electric outlet is used in the Maldives? A. In most places, you can get around with the standard UK 3-pin flat plugs. The electrical current is between 220 and 240 volts and your resort can provide you with adaptors to charge your phone or laptop batteries. But it is always good to notify them ahead of your travel. Q. How good is the Wi-Fi connectivity in the Maldives? A. All 5-star resorts provide complimentary Wi-Fi in your villa/cottage and even in a few of the public spaces. The network is usually strong enough for you to browse the net, use your social media pages, upload photos or make a Skype call. At guesthouses and more economic accommodation options, you are charged for the same. You also have the option of buying a data pack locally to not bloat up your internet bills. Q. Can I carry my alcohol with me to the Maldives? A. Not at all, in fact it is illegal to bring alcohol into the Maldives. Your resort of stay would have a special permit from its government for serving premium international liquor brands. And you can enjoy your favourite poison without any hassle. Q. Can I get a seaplane anytime I want to check into my resort in the Maldives? A. That won’t be possible because seaplanes are functional only in the daylight hours usually between 06:00 am and 04:00 pm. In case your international flights arrives post 04:00 pm, then you would have to spend the night at a nearby hotel in Male and take the earliest flight out to your atoll. Q. What is the water temperature in the Maldives? A. Owing to the Maldives tropical climate, the water temperatures stay warm through the year, hovering between 28 and 30 degree Celsius. This is an ideal temperature to go for a swim, and simply perfect if you intend to go diving or snorkelling.

Maldives Island Trip Cost from India

The Maldives has spectacular scenery, crystal-clear waters, and luxurious resorts, making it a dream destination for many travellers from India. However, the cost of a Maldives trip from India can be a significant factor that deters travellers from taking the plunge. This is where a personal loan  comes in handy. A personal loan provides you with easy access to funds to make your dream Maldives vacation a reality.

The cost of a trip to the Maldives from India may vary depending on the season and type of accommodation. On average, a Maldives trip cost from India can range from Rs. 1.5 lakh to Rs. 2.5 lakh per person for a seven-day trip. While travelling to this island paradise may seem expensive, a personal loan could help with access to the funds you need to cover the travel expenses.

Must-visit attractions in the Maldives

The Maldives is a beautiful collection of islands with countless attractions to offer. A few must-visit places that will make your trip unforgettable include:

Imagine clear turquoise-tinged waters framing moon-shaped islands ringed with white sandy beaches. Beaches so isolated, you’ll be hard pressed to find another soul and if you do, they’re probably immersed in creating their own little paradise without being a bother to you. Add to this the fact that you could fly in on Friday evening to start your Maldives holiday and fly out on Monday morning to be back at work with a bit of sand still between your toes, and memories of your vacation to the Maldives in your head. Do this once and you’ll realize that a Maldives holiday is the dream vacation you’ve always wanted but never really got down to taking because the dream felt unachievable. The Thomas Cook Maldives travel packages offer you the best deals, at affordable prices as per your budget.  We often fantasize about surfing in Hawaii, sipping on a pina colada in the Caribbean, snorkelling in the azure waters of Bali or partying it up in glamourous Miami. Our misconceptions have turned island vacations into unattainable feats, reserved only for the highest of high-flying jet setters. The only beaches we finally wind up visiting are those we’ve always visited like Goa or Pondicherry and the affordable islands we think of visiting are Sri Lanka or Bangkok. Think again, Maldives tour packages are here to redefine Maldives tourism and give you a chance to enjoy an exotic escape. If you're reconsidering your decision to visit the Maldives because the thought of wading through a sea of humanity before getting to the actual sea is off putting, think again. The beauty of Maldives tourism lies in the fact that not many people flock to these beaches, simply because they think a Maldives holiday is out of their reach. Escape the ordinary and dive into luxury with our Maldives tour packages, designed for discerning travellers.

Maldives Visa 

A Tourist Visa is granted to travellers of all nationalities when they visit the Maldives. A Tourist Visa allows you to stay in the Maldives for 30 days, but may be extended for another 60-day period. The full 30-day visa is not the right of the visitor to claim, but lies at the discretion of the Immigration to issue for a period of not more than thirty days and any period less than thirty days.

How to reach Maldives

Flying is the quickest way to reach Maldives , with a flight from the Indian mainland to the Maldives lasting just about 3 hours. The country’s main airport is Male International Airport located on Hulhule Island in the North Male atoll, just off the coast of the island capital of Male. It is well connected internationally, especially with India, with direct flights from metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Cochin. The longest duration is about 6 hours from Delhi and the quickest is the flight from Cochin which gets you there in under 2 hours. Getting there, however, is the easy part; it is taking your return flight after your Maldives holiday has ended that is the tough part.

From the airport, you can take a ferry, speedboat or a seaplane to the island of your choice within the Maldives. Relax and rejuvenate in overwater bungalows with our exclusive Maldives tour packages, the epitome of tropical luxury.

Honeymoon in the Maldives

Sparkling crystal pools that are shrouded by graceful palms and lined with soft sand, where you can lay down on the beautiful beach at night and witness the unmatchable beauty of twinkling stars. Little spots of sand hidden amidst craggy rocks that disappear with the incoming tide that are perfect for a candle lit picnic. Tiny tidepools that are obscured by a ring of rocks forming a natural infinity pool, where you can take a dip with your partner in the turquoise waters. Such cosy spaces abound in the Maldives, allowing you a level of privacy that you always wanted but could never have at other beach destinations. On a honeymoon in the Maldives , you will feel the love blowing in the sea breeze that caresses your bodies. Stay in world-class resorts and villas as you bask in luxury with our premium Maldives tour packages.  To add to this, most of the hotels and resorts in the Maldives have special spa treatments, day trips and romantic dinners that couples can enjoy during their Maldives holidays. You really can’t go wrong with a Maldives honeymoon package from Thomas Cook India. Go on, spark the excitement in your marriage and experience the most passionate honeymoon by choosing from a plethora of Maldives honeymoon packages curated by Thomas Cook India. For an intimate getaway, our private Maldives tour packages offer seclusion and romance in paradise. 

Travelling within the Maldives

Since the islands are tiny with narrow roads, driving to get from one place to another is out of the question. You can walk or cycle across the tinier islands, whereas larger islands such as Malé have taxi services. The most excitement during Maldives holidays, however, is found during island hopping within the Maldives. Based on your budget you can choose different Maldives travel packages and take a leisurely cruise in a traditional Maldivian 'Dhoni', beat the waves in a speedboat, or a ferry or even take a yacht with a full bar and cabins, or you could fly between the islands in a seaplane.  

Best Time to Visit the Maldives 

The best time to visit the Maldives is from November to April. The island nation is warm and sunny year-round, but consists of a dry season and a wet, rainy season. There are pros and cons to visiting in each season. The best weather in the Maldives lasts from November and April, owing to minor to no precipitation and warm, tolerable temperatures. However, this is also the busiest time of year and, as such, the room rates at resorts and hotels cost a little more than they normally would. However, since every resort sits on its own island, you won't have to fight the throngs of tourists like you might during the peak season at most other destinations. Book your Maldives tour package today and embark on a journey to the Maldivian wonders that dreams are made of. 

May to October is officially the rainy season, with the islands seeing between 5 and 10 inches of rain monthly and accompanied by strong winds and the occasional tropical storm. Visitors will likely find better pricing during this time of year, however your dreams of chilling in an open bungalow on the water might be blown away by strong winds and wild waves. Wild waves are what make the Maldives a mecca for surfers during the monsoon, because the area sees bigger waves and better swells for surfing during these months. Experience the Maldives in a whole new light during the rainy season with our exclusive Maldives tour packages.

May to July is when the Maldives shine through, thanks to the perfect temperatures and the thinning crowds. You might experience some brief periods of heavy to moderately heavy rainfall but this is literally the calm before the storm. The Maldives is one of the few places that allows you to cherish this period and get home before things get a little too stormy. Relax and rejuvenate in overwater bungalows with our exclusive Maldives tour packages, the epitome of tropical luxury. 

Hulhumale Island

Despite its tiny size, Male is packed with experiences. This island city is dotted with beautiful buildings like the 17th century Old Friday Mosque, bustling markets like the Male Market and national monuments like the magnificent Mulee Aage Palace. With a population of 133,412 and a size of about 9.2 sq.km., Male is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Here you can rub shoulders with Maldivians going about their everyday business with a smile on their face and the sun in their eyes. Explore the capital city's unique charm with our rainy season Maldives tour packages centred around Male. Some other notable places to see are the newer Grand Friday Mosque, the National Museum, the Sultan Park, Rasfannu Beach, Sinamale Bridge, the Victory Monument, Jumbhoree Maidhan and the Tsunami Monument.

The southernmost inhabited island of the Maldives, Feydhoo is the last speck of land in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, which means it is remote, quiet and serene as many tourists seldom venture this far. This makes it perfect if you're seeking a quiet, romantic Maldives holiday. Places to visit include Gan Beach, Huludu Lagoon Beach and Meedhoo Jetty. Additionally, you'll find Hulhudhoo Harbor in the area.

Explore the vibrant marine life and stunning coral reefs with our Maldives tour packages, a diver's dream come true. Take a speedboat across the sparkling waters that surround Male and you’ll arrive at the Hulhumale Island, with its spectacular beaches, glass topped mosque, a beautiful promenade and serene, green neighborhoods. The most interesting fact about this island, however, is that it has been reclaimed from the sea, to meet the rising demand for land for development from space starved Male. It is connected to Male by the Sinamale Bridge, an architectural wonder. While on the island, not visiting the beautiful Hulhumale beach would be a crime. Have an afternoon picnic in Hulhumale Central Park, which is a stone’s throw away from the beach. Who are we kidding, in the Maldives, every place is a stone’s throw away from the beach! Thomas Cook India's curated Maldives tour packages will show you a side of Hulhumale Island few have seen before. 

For a little history, head to the northernmost of the Maldivian island chains to the island of Utheemu – once the home of Sultan Mohammed Thakurufaanu, the leader who drove the Portuguese invaders from the islands in the 16th century. Utheemu Ganduvaru is the sultan's palace and is this tiny island’s claim to fame. Explore Utheemu's historic landmarks and museums, sheltered from the rain, in our informative Maldives tour packages.

If you’re going slightly off the beaten path, Maafushi is the place to be. Once ravaged by the tsunami, this island is now firmly back on its feet, with a variety of beautiful resorts and beaches that are best described as ethereal, Maafushi is the Maldives own little quiet corner. This is a beautiful pocket of the world to tuck yourself into. Stroll on the pristine beaches, laze at the Maafushi promenade and enjoy coffee at its small coffee houses.

Beaches in the Maldives

The Maldives are home of the most ethereal beaches in the world. The Islands have fine, pearl white, soft sand that you can lie down and take a nap on, while the sea breeze fans you and the sound of the sea lulls you to sleep. Remember to watch out for the tide though. The beaches of the Maldives are nestled amidst beautiful coral reefs that you can explore via snorkelling and diving to give you vacation goals that can be ticked off your bucket list. Here are some beaches you need to visit during your Maldives holidays.

• Hulhumale Beach - The most popular beaches in the Maldives that you need to visit during your Maldives holidays.
• Vabbinfaru Island Beach - Vabbinfaru is famous for its jet skiing and other water sports. This promises a rush of adrenaline during your otherwise peaceful Maldives holidays.
• Fulhadhoo Beach – This is a secluded beach that is located far away from the bustle. Perfect for romantic Maldives holidays.
• Sun Island Beach 1 72 026  – Located on the aptly named Sun Island, this beach is famous for its groves of tropical flowers. A must see during your Maldives holidays.
• Dhigurah Beach – A beach where you can dive with whale sharks and explore the blue waters with these behemoths. A must on your Maldives holidays.

Light, fresh, tinged with every kind of spice – the cuisine in the Maldives is delicious, homely and comforting. Which means your Maldives holiday will be full of familiar flavours that somehow still feel exotic. With hits of chilli and the freshness of ginger, this food will make you sweat a little to cool you down a lot in the Maldivian sun. Here is a list to make you salivate:

Maldivian Biryani

Bis keemiya, boshi mashuni, saagu bondibai.

This is a variant of biryani native to the Maldives that uses local spices such as pandan, lemon and lemongrass, which adds a new dimension of tropical flavour to the biryani you know and love.

This fragrant fish soup is served with rice, chilli, lemon and onions and is perhaps the Maldives’ most famous dish. It is light, nourishing and most importantly, lip smackingly delicious if tuna soup is your thing. If not, there’re plenty of other options to choose from.

Think of this as a samosa stuffed with hard boiled eggs, onions, shredded cabbage and spices, because that’s exactly what it is. One bite of this and you’ll either hate it completely or forget all about the plain old aloo-stuffed samosa back home

This is a mixed salad of shredded banana flowers and coconut all gently dressed with fresh, fragrant turmeric, cumin, lime and Maldivian chilli. This will keep you full, yet agile enough to explore the small islands on foot.

To prepare this dish, smoked and shredded tuna is sprinkled with lemon, coconut and onions. Consider this a healthy tuna salad served with hot chapatis on the side. Roll it up for a quick snack on the go or pack some for a beach side picnic.

This is an evening snack made by steaming together flaked fish and a coconut dough. It is versatile as it is eaten for breakfast, between meals and even as an accompaniment to the main course of a meal.

The Maldivian version of sabudana kheer or payasam. This is a smooth, creamy pudding made with tapioca pearls and coconut cream, delicately flavoured with saffron and cardamom.
