If you’ve decided to head to the Maldives for your next getaway, then an unforgettable time awaits and here are some tips to help plan your trip.
Choose an Island Resort
For a sublime holiday with plenty of pampering and the best experiences, stay at a private island resort like Huvafen Fushi Maldives. If you haven’t tried it before, opt for an overwater bungalow with direct lagoon access, while spa rituals, destination dining, water sports and chartered private yacht cruises are some of the many highlights.
Check Transfer Options
After you land at the Velana International Airport, the only way to get to your resort is by seaplane or speedboat. Seaplanes are relatively more costly and for those destinations further away. However, in the Maldives, island resorts in the North Male Atoll are easy to reach by speedboat and will cost comparatively less.
Consider the Season
The peak season here is from November to April when there’s lots of sunshine and calm waters, though rates will be higher. The good news is that the Maldives can be visited year-round! Though it can rain during the off-peak season from May to October, showers won’t be throughout the day and what’s more, rates will be less too.
Know the Local Laws
Keep in mind the local laws of this Muslim nation. For example, alcohol can’t be brought into the country or consumed at local islands where one must also dress conservatively and can only wear bikinis at a designated “bikini beach”. However, such laws don’t apply to private resorts where you can wear bikinis and savour your favourite tipple!
