Maldives is a little nation that comprises of heaven looking islands spread everywhere throughout the Indian Ocean only south of India and Sri Lanka. That is practically all that I thought about the Maldives before visiting.
On the off chance that you are thinking about a get-away in the Maldives, or you are simply inquisitive, at that point read on!
Here are a few things that I wish I knew before visiting the nation alongside some intriguing factual realities about the Maldives:
1. Try not to WAIT FOR YOUR HONEYMOON TO VISIT!
You don’t have to sit tight for your special night and you don’t require a sweetheart of a beau to appreciate the Maldives!
In all honesty, Maldives is a goal for honeymooners as well as for everybody, truly. You will discover there an unending rundown of exercises that you can attempt paying little mind to age and interests and, above all, you will never get exhausted!
long the sightseers, we have seen there maaaaany families, individuals commending their unhitched female gatherings and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. However, hell, you can even go in the Maldives without anyone else!
In the event that you go to the correct spot, you ought to hope to meet a great deal of new individuals. You can discover my proposals for the correct hotels here:
2. MALDIVES ARE FAMOUS AND RICH
Me, and possibly you as well, when we consider Maldives, we envision something so lavish that is totally inaccessible to an ordinary individual. A fantasy that will never work out, a spot you will presumably never visit in this life.
Did I get it right? Indeed, in any event this is the manner by which I envisioned the Maldives before I visited…
It is mostly obvious however, I won’t deny that you won’t discover a 5$ every night convenience there, as in Thailand or Bali, yet it is certainly much more moderate than you may might suspect!
Beginning at $200 – $250 US a night you can treat yourself with a decent cottage in an Maldives resort on a private island. Make certain to book ahead of time however!

A base cost for an all-renowned water manor will begin at about $450 US for 2 individuals with breakfast included. Not thousands, isn’t that so?
For a normal European or a North American, this should be possible once in a blue moon, right? What’s more, trust me – this is an encounter that merits each penny!!
In the event that this is still a piece excessively costly for you, at that point no concerns, there is an answer! It may not be a water estate, yet you can remain on a neighborhood island in a guesthouse. Yet, hello, guess what? The ocean has a similar blue shading wherever in the Maldives!
Guesthouses on neighborhood islands start from around $50 to $100 US every night.
This is likewise not that spending plan ish, I concur, however consider this: at your normal inn in, suppose, the center of no place in USA or Australia, a straightforward room will cost you about $200 US.
3. LIQUOR IS ONLY ALLOWED ON RESORT ISLANDS
Maldives is a Muslim nation, so local people don’t drink, nor sell liquor.
On the off chance that you are remaining on a nearby island, not a hotel, you can simply appreciate this occasion calm.
In any case, there is a stroll around to this standard on some neighborhood islands. For instance, Maafushi has a virtuoso answer for this issue – they have a seaward positioned pontoon with a complimentary exchange. There, you can drink liquor without any issues! That isn’t land, in this way, in fact, it’s completely alright! 🙂
Comparative limitations apply to your two-piece and other open garments on the off chance that you are remaining on a neighborhood island. Attempt to dress humbly and regard the nearby conventions. You will for the most part discover exceptional “two-piece zones”, where you can swim in an open bathing suit, yet you ought to be wearing a preservationist way (long dress and a scarf to cover your shoulders) when going through the town to arrive.
This, obviously, doesn’t have any significant bearing to those remaining in a hotel island; you can wear anything you desire there!
4. YOU CAN GO TO THE MALDIVES ON A SPENDING LIMIT
With the travel industry picking up foothold in the Maldives, convenience choices are getting progressively moderate. I am not discussing those overwater private island manors, as those properties will most likely consistently be costly.
What I’m discussing are the neighborhood visitor houses.
A trip to Maldives can be bargain basement in the event that you are as of now in Asia (check costs from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Colombo) and it’s turning out to be increasingly more reasonable to fly there from Europe and North America as well, particularly in the event that you get some insane promotions!
Such a large number of individuals reveal to me how fortunate I am the point at which they see my brilliant Maldives pictures on Instagram, and I mean, don’t misunderstand me, I love what I am doing, however relatively few individuals realize that my approach to travel blogging achievement was a long way from a walk in the park.
Anyway, what I am stating is – You can venture out to the Maldives on a careful spending plan as well! The ocean has a similar turquoise blue shading both in an extravagance resort and on a neighborhood island, and the submerged life is similarly as stunning!
Additionally, in the event that you can’t stand to spend your entire excursion in an overwater cottage and taste stunning mixed drinks on a private island, at that point think about what, you can in any case do that at a small amount of the cost of really remaining there!
5. YOU DON’T NEED TO LIVE IN A HIGH CLASS RESORT TO CHERISH ALL YOUR HOBBIES.
The stunt is that it’s conceivable to visit those islands for an expense (it truly relies upon the island and conditions, however the costs start from $100 US) and appreciate all the best they bring to the table – pools, liquor bars, delectable food, stunning perspectives over water cabins and so forth.
The catch? You won’t remain there for the time being, so you don’t pay for the genuine convenience.
What you have to do is to take a speedboat from a nearby island that will take you to the nearest extravagance resort and afterward it will get you at night. What about this arrangement?
Coincidentally, the day visits are additionally less expensive on the nearby islands, the costs typically start from $40 – $50 US.
