Travel to the Maldives is expensive
It's hardly unexpected that an isolated island with thousands of miles of mini islands with luxurious flush with private overwater cottages is pricey. However, there are some budget-friendly tricks for budget-conscious travelers when visiting Maldives. The good news is that it is less expensive for Europeans, South and Southeast Asians, and Middle Easterners. However, local norms and laws must be observed because they might combine lower airfares with cheap lodgings in the main populated islands and larger towns, such as Male.
If you're thinking about a luxury resort break on a private island, seek for low-season average nightly rates. Many of these resorts are all-inclusive, which means that drinks and meals are included. However, alcoholic beverages and other activities, such as spa treatment, may be more expensive. Expect to pay a significant premium for all meals and beverages if you are not staying at an all-inclusive resort. Finally, the Maldives is a destination for special occasions such as honeymoons and anniversary trips. However, with those ocean vistas and the exceptional quality of service provided at many resorts, it truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
