The Maldives is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world that is visited by many people every year. If you are planning to go, here are some things you should know before you head out.
1. Don’t wait until your honeymoon
You don’t have to wait until your honeymoon to go to the Maldives. Yes, it is more famous among couples, but there’s plenty to enjoy whether you go as a family or as a solo traveller or with friends.
2. It’s not only for the rich and famous
There are private islands for the luxurious and there are private islands that are affordable. Don’t make this mistake of thinking the Maldives is only for those that can spend millions.
3. Alcohol is only in the resorts
If you book into resort islands like The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, you will have a guaranteed supply of alcohol. But it is banned outside of the resort islands.
4. You can go there on a budget
It is quite possible to travel to the Maldives on a budget.
5. You can enjoy luxury facilities
You can visit resort islands and enjoy the facilities without actually booking into the hotel.
6. What you see isn’t what you pay
Along with the price of things, there is also a 12% tax charge and a 10% service charge. Keep that in mind.
