How to Choose the Perfect Maldives Resort - Tips for Selecting the Maldivian Resort Base of Your Dreams

 Offering holidaymakers some of the most luxurious and breathtaking accommodation options on the planet, resort bases in the Maldives truly defy even the grandest expectations. From captivating overwater villas to bungalows set deep with tropical landscapes, the choices are seemingly endless. While it is tempting to reserve the first impressive holiday suite you come across, here are some tips on how to make a more informed decision when it comes to the resort hub you stay in.

1. Features of the Island

As a collection of more than a thousand coral islands, it is easy to deduct that not all resort islands in the Maldives are created equal. What most travelers fail to realize when selecting a rest for their Maldivian getaway is that they will be confined to the resort island for most if not all of the holiday due to how the geography of the archipelago is laid out. So your hotel suite is not just a place where you rest and sleep in between sightseeing tours and activities but also the totality of the landscapes you will interact with during a holiday apart from the airport and perhaps a day trip to Male. This is why selecting an island that is home to its own lagoon, house reef, or provides geographical features conducive to surfing, snorkeling windsurfing, etc. is crucial.

2. The Price Tag

The overall cost of your hotel room or suite in the Maldives is another factor that vacationers simply can't ignore when searching for the perfect base as the budget or funds available for accommodation is limited. Depending on the duration of your stay and the discounts on offer in a  Maldives all-inclusive package, it is necessary to select a property that is not beyond your means. Whether it's the OZEN Life Maadhoo or a less popular venue closer to the capital, it is important to determine if the choice makes fiscal sense before making a reservation.

 3. Guestroom Varieties

Most resorts in the Maldives will also offer several guestroom options that not only differ in price but also what amenities and aesthetic elements are on offer. An overwater villa, for example, is quite different from a beachside bungalow while a deluxe bedroom inside the resort's main building is much smaller compared to cabins that include bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a living area. After determining how much space one requires, it is also wise to consider what amenities you wish to compromise on and which you would prioritize over others when making the selection.

 4.  Ease of Access

Tourists who are doing their research into Maldivian resort bases will find that some of the finest hotels and resorts are not located in the nation's capital, Male, where one finds the country's main international airport. This is why it is prudent to take the distance from your resort to Male into consideration before making a booking as traveling to the outer atolls via seaplane or speedboat can be a costly affair. Those who are arriving in Male late at night will also need to secure overnight accommodation in the city as airport transfers to the atolls halt after 6 pm.

5. Meals

Hotel packages that include meals should also be prioritized above those that only include accommodation and activities as those who are staying on a full-board basis need not worry about the three main meals. The all-inclusive package is the most advantageous of all as it not only includes the main meals but also alcohol and other beverages that one orders throughout the day. While all meal plans come at a cost, it is often less than what tourists will need to pay at the resort restaurants for meals.

How to Travel Around the Maldives – Getting About a Tropical Paradise

Since the Maldives is made up of numerous small islands, transport within the country is not like what you would usually expect when travelling to other destinations. Here, the two main modes of travel are either by seaplane or boat though you get a few other options too depending on the island. With that in mind, these are some things you should know about the various modes of local transport before you visit the Maldives.   By Seaplanes Seaplane Transportation in Maldives |Image via Pixabay One way to get about the Maldives is by way of seaplane which as you might expect, offers breathtaking views of the islands and atolls. Such means of transport are usually reserved for getting to islands and resorts that are located a great distance from the main international airport and the capital, Male. You do get domestic planes (that are not seaplanes) too, though resorts will usually offer seaplane services for direct access to the respective private island. Keep in mind, however, depen...
