How to Choose the Perfect Maldives Resort

Ranked among the world's most visited beach holiday hubs, the Maldives boasts some of the finest accommodation options on the planet. Maldivian accommodation hubs are some of the most luxurious rests in the region. From deciding on what type of guest quarters is suitable to picking a venue with an advantageous location, here are some practical guidelines on choosing the perfect resort for your getaway in paradise.

1. Guestroom Types

Maldivian resorts not only include overwater villas and beach houses but a gamut of guestrooms that can vary from deluxe guestrooms to spacious beach villas with several rooms and a living area. Depending on your budget, it is necessary to choose a resort base that offers the type of room or holiday rest you envision for your getaway in the Maldives. Whether it's the OZEN Life Maadhoo or any other resort offering Maldives all-inclusive package options, one must make sure the types of guest quarters available appeal to your budget and in terms of aesthetics.

2. Accessibility


All tourists arriving in the Maldives touchdown in the nation's capital, Male and at the airport located in nearby Hulhule. This means that unless one has reserved a Male city hotel, it is necessary to travel via seaplane or speedboat to the Maldivian resort of your choice upon arrival. Transfers to the outer atolls in the country cease after 6 pm and this means you will need to reserve overnight accommodation in Male in addition to your reservation at a private resort island. Staying at a resort base closer to Male, therefore, may appear to be a more economical choice although some of the most coveted resort bases are in the outer and central atolls. This is yet another consideration visitors must make when choosing a base.

3. The Costs Involved


The Maldives is home to some of the most expensive resort hotspots in the world and this is largely due to the fact that the Maldives is not exactly a budget-friendly beach holiday destination. Nearly all of the resort islands in the country are five or four-star hotels with the exception of the backpacker-style guest houses available in islands such as Thulusdhoo, Maafushi, Addu City, Isdhoo, and Thulhaadhoo. Cost and your budget, is, therefore, an aspect of the vacation that one must determine before choosing a property. As you will be spending most of your holiday within the confines of the resort island, it is important to find a resort that fits your budget and the essential amenities you require.

4. Features of the Resort Isle


As a collection of more than a thousand islands that are divided into twenty-six atolls, no two islands in the Maldives are alike in geographical features or attributes. Some resort islands will include their own lagoon and house reef for snorkeling while others will have sandbanks and be in a prime position to organize whale and dolphin watching cruises. Visitors heading to the Maldives for the first time must look into the features of the resort island they select as it is where they will be held up for most of the holiday.

5. Meal Plan


Unlike most other holiday hubs where one can head out for lunch or dinner to a different part of the city or grab a meal at a nearby restaurant, those vacationing in the Maldives will be solely dependent on their resort home where meals are concerned. While it is possible to travel to Male for a meal or a food tour, it is not a feasible option for every meal during your stay; therefore, it is prudent to pick a resort with different types of restaurants and dining options.

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...
