Top 10 things you need to know about the Maldives

- Welcome to the Maldives, the world's most PRISTINE and sublime beach vacation. There's a lot that goes into planning a trip to the region, so we're here to share the TOP TEN THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO TO THE MALDIVES! After ten hotels and endless plane rides around the country, we have learned SO much about what it's like to travel to the Maldives. In this video, we will tell you the most important things to keep in mind when you book a trip to the Maldives.
Whether you have booked a hotel already or are looking for advice on what hotels, what room types and what the heck the transfers are about, we have you covered.
As we mentioned in the video, check out these great links for booking comparisons and ideas:
luxuryescapes.com/
trivago.com/
While on some vacations your arrival or departure times don’t really matter because all you have to do is get to your hotel via taxi or car, arrival and departure times in the Maldives can make or break your trip. It is critical to pay attention to your flight schedule for a few reasons. Since the Maldives is a country made up of many islands, your transfers include sea planes, regular planes and boats. If your transfer to the hotel is via sea plane or boat, those hours are pretty limited to daylight. Planes are a little bit of an exception, but they also operate on somewhat limited hours. If your flight is set to arrival around 9pm or 10pm as many do, you will need to spend one night on Malé before transferring to your hotel. The best arrival times are early morning to ensure you are able to catch the first transfer out to your hotel.
If you're looking for something specific, feel free to skip ahead!

Finding hotels can feel quite overwhelming - where do you even start? The great thing about the Maldives is that there is truly something for everyone. Big brands like Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton offers great experiences where loyalists can earn or spend hard earned points, but there are also dozens of 5-star brands that you may never have heard of. My favorite thing to do is to search on trivago.com . Trivago aggregates all the major booking platforms and displays every hotel available on the internet and the prices related to each of the hotels across different platforms.
There are a few ways to transfer to hotels in the Maldives: boat, plane or sea plane. Depending on the distance from Malé, your hotel may offer a boat transfer. Boat transfers are often less expensive than flights and have more flexibility around hours of operation.
One of the most difficult decisions you will have to make are whether to choose a beach villa or an overwater villa. I know, tough life. But really, this is important. People always ask us what our preferred room type is or assume we will always pick the overwater villa, but that’s not necessarily true. Not all overwater villas are created equal. Some hotels will offer overwater bungalows, but they will be smaller and darker than their beach villa counterparts or simply not over desirable water. Sometimes, the beach villa is significantly nicer, larger, with access to gorgeous sandy shores and blue water with a bathroom the size of the room itself. We have stayed at properties before where we have actually moved rooms due to the overwater villa being far less appealing. For example, one overwater hut we stayed in, you could actually not swim from the balcony due to the grassy bottom and six inches of water. We decided it was much more pleasant to stay in a gorgeous beach villa that accessed pristine teal water AND had a private pool.

Off the topic. The way she looks at you while you talk, she's a keeper man. I mean, like , wow.
Aww thank you so much! I do love him just a little bit 🙃
My takeaway as well. At first I thought it was a one off like there was a joke or something that was cut... but nope shes like that the entire time. Nice.
I've looked at a lot of Maldives videos this week. This one is the best by a mile. Essential viewing for anyone planning a trip to Maldives.
Thank you so much, Bill! That means a lot to us!!

Love this video. Great information
Thank you so much, Ruth! We really appreciate it
Thank you. Very helpful, again.
Thank you for your comment, Larry! We appreciate the feedback :). Safe travels!
Very informative videos and some excellent advice both here and in the individual resort reviews. I'm looking at them carefully to help understand what each resort offers so I can decide where to go next! The only thing I can think to add to your excellent presentation is for AI (all inclusive) dining packages, they are not all created equal either so your advice to check the small print and do research is spot on. Well done!
Hi John! Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! Really appreciate it!!! If we can be of any assistance in your hotel search don’t hesitate to reach out :). We’re heading back to the Maldives in a few weeks and will have an additional 5 hotels reviews coming up as well as an experience review for a luxury live aboard so stay tuned :)
Super helpful!! Thank you
Thank you so much!! So glad it was helpful :) xx, maren
This was super helpful ❤
Thanks so much for your comment! I’m so glad to hear it was helpful!!

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Amazing tips 😃 very informational video
Thank you so much!!!
My fiancé and I are looking into hotels atm and this video helped tons . Thank you
Thanks so much!! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Nice comprehensive video. Would be nice to include tips when going with family and kids in terms of kids Friendly Islands, kids clubs, and what activities can be done with kids specially infants. Also would be nice to touch on drones and accessible house reefs saving costs for snorkelling trips
Hey Mohammed! Thanks so much for your comment - that is absolutely incredible feedback. We’re heading back in September and staying with some incredible hotels (soneva, hard rock, Anantara Kihavah, saii lagoon, emerald and more) so we’ll be sure to do a part two covering these topics!! Thanks so much for tuning in and safe travels!!
Thanks for sharing, my friends! LIKE 51
Thank you so much, Henri!!
Guys are too good.
Thanks mates for sharing your thoughts and information with us.
Just a quick question....
Is the water deep around the water villa's?
Thanks
Thanks so much for your comment! That means a lot. So…the short answer is that it depends on the hotel. Some hotels have amazing swimmable water around the villas like Milaidhoo or emerald or ozen, while others are too shallow like ritz or hard rock or lux. It really really depends on location. If you need any help planning let me know!
Good on you 👍🏼
Really informative video, and puts everything in a nutshell as it’s overwhelming how many hotels there are. Would you happen to know the underwater restaurant featured at 15:20 please?
Hi Charlotte! Thanks so much for the feedback! I totally get how overwhelming it can be to choose a property- don't hesitate to reach out if you need any help!! The restaurant is the Niyama resort underwater restaurant :)
Awesome video!
Thank you so much!!
This is awesome
Thank you so much, Olakunle! Glad it was helpful :)
Just stumbled on this video while planning a surprise five year anniversary + late honeymoon trip. This video is SO informative/helpful. I felt a lot more confident planning and researching our trip now.
Aw thank you so much, Jonson! That means a lot to us. This is an amazing location for a five year anniversary- well done!! Let us know if you have any questions - and stay tuned, we have a LOT of Maldives videos coming out
You can plan your Honeymoon in the beautiful Lakshadweep (India) instead ✅
To maximize my stay, I'm going to do at least 6 nights: 3 in beach villa and 3 in water villa. This gives me the chance to experience both sides on the property. It's also cheaper too. The beach villas are usually cheaper and can be booked with points. Going to do this for each property I go to. Unless, I don't like the beach villas for a particular propery, then I will do the full 6 nights in a water villa or vica versa.
Love that idea!! It’s a great way to experience both without totally breaking the bank. Great advice!
Impressive content! Your hotel reviews truly stand out to me. I appreciate how you provide detailed "reviews" rather than simply sharing videos or pictures of the resort. I'm curious to find out whether certain atolls have seaweed while others do not. If this holds true, could you please share information about which atolls are free from seaweed? Much thanks.
Hey! Thank you so much ❤️❤️ that’s so nice of you to say. In terms of seaweed, that’s not really a big issue in the Maldives in general. There are resorts here and there that have sea grass growing on the sea floor like Lux South Ari, but even at lux, that’s only in one area of the island and not the majority so ultimately there’s not really a lot anywhere. seaweed doesn’t wash up on shore too much either. I hope this helps!!
@@VoyagerGuru Thank you.
Super detailed video. Very helpful, thank you. Any Covid restrictions while traveling there?
Hey griffin! Thanks so much for your comment :). Yes, all travelers are required to have a PCR test within 72 hours. Also, many hotels will test on arrival - that’s included in your room rate. If you need a test for your country or flight, you’ll have to pay for a PCR at the hotel (usually 120-150)
Thaanks for the great valuable tips👍🏼🙏🏼
Im traveling with my friend for my a birthday stay, what 5 stars resorts do u recommend fro us (reachable by speedboat)?
Hi Reema! Thanks for your comment! What’s your nightly approximate budget? Happy to recommend some great options!
This is a very informative video of The Maldives. I have been to the Maldives 5 times and agreed with your points. In addition to what you said, some water villas in one resort will be cheaper than beach villas in another resort. The best weather is in February and March which is the high season but you can still get great deals in these months. Being a Muslim country, no alcohol and pork when you arrive at Male Airport.
For people from the UK like I am, stopover either at Doha, Dubai, Istanbul or Abu Dhabi from London Heathrow, Birmingham or Manchester
Thank you so much for your comment and for the great information!!! This is super helpful, particularly for the UK folks looking for the best routes :). We're headed to the Maldives in September so stay tuned for more fun content!
@@VoyagerGuru In addition to that, the airport is on a separate island to Male city. I have booked my hotels either on Trivago, Booking,com and most times on Expedia. September is the wet season but it is cheaper and normally you would get enough sun. One thing that is advisable is getting some sun cream because the sun is strong there. I agree about Mozzie Sprays - I do urge UK travellers to purchase Jungle Formula one from Boots the Chemist - I've never been bitten once using this mozzie spray travelling to many tropical/sub tropical countries. Maldives is a conservative Muslim country for sure (I'm a Muslim born and bred in England) so in the past I have offered advice to Muslim travellers regarding Maldives from my own experiences there. Hope that helps.
GREAT call in that bug spray- they can be gnarly, particularly at new resorts!
Great video! :) Thank you very much!
For travelling in June in terms of weather do you recommend the North or South islands?
Thank you so much, Amanda! Regarding time of year and location, honestly it will be amazing either way. There’s no difference in the weather from the top of the country to the bottom. June is a great time to visit - hot and sunny!! If you are looking at hotels, the easiest to access from male will be in the middle of the country as flights will be shorter :). Let us know if you need any help!
@@VoyagerGuru thank you so much for the information!! It is very helpful! :)
My husband and I find your TH-cam videos inspiring! Thanks again!
Aww thank you!!! We appreciate it so much. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions anytime
Another great video!!! :-) I hear you are booked for Sepetember. What resorts are you goint to visit? I hope you have discovered Hurawalhi and Kudadoo? ;-) Kandolhu is a total gem too!
We have booked Hurawalhi (4th visit) and Milaidhoo (2nd visit, thanks to you guys!) for February 2022.
Thank you so much, Linda! We are!! Very excited to go back- we have a lot of amazing hotels that we are looking forward to seeing 🙌🏼. We are not staying at hurawalhi or kudadoo this time - but hopefully in the future as they look sublime!! Kandholhu is also high on my list - maybe if they see this they’ll invite us 😉. Omg have a BLAST!!! I’m so glad you loved Milaidhoo as much as we did - can’t wait to hear about your next trip!!
Hi You two. Really enjoying your reviews. Having trouble subscribing but will keep trying.
Just a not on transfers. The Anantara Kihavah do not seem to include sea plane transfer.
What do you recommend?
Hi Tony! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm sorry you're having trouble subscribing! Maybe try this link: th-cam.com/users/voyagerguru
Regarding the transfers- most hotels do not include the transfer in the base price of the room. SOME places like Luxury Escapes or deals that hotels are offering directly on their websites (usually under an "offers" tab) will include them. However, it's somewhat rare unfortunately. It is possible that if you contact the hotel directly, they may have an offer available that's not posted on their website. If you have a budget in mind that you're looking to not exceed, let me know and I can present some options to you!
From Singapore, it’s cheapest and quickest to book an early morning flight to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and then into Maldives. You can get there before hotel check in! I booked separate one-way tickets which was half the price of a direct flight, with a 2 hour gap between flights.
Thanks for your comment!! I love that tip!! A morning flight is the BEST way to maximize your time at the hotel in the maldives for SURE! Love that one way tickets too- in case you decide to stay longer, it's easier to change too ;)
Funny story - - I was looking up Qatar Qsuites and you guys popped up, so I watched. Then I start looking for vids about SAii Lagoon Maldives - - and there you guys are AGAIN - and I was like - HEY! It's the honeymoon couple!! They went to the resort I wanna go to!! 😆 (Turns out you went to more than a few of them. 😉Anyway, really enjoy your vids, they're very comprehensive and well put together and I really appreciate all the work you put in to them. I noticed another commenter mentioned talking about fams more - - which is ironic - - because I came on to ask if you could include us solo travelers as well. Not sure if either of you have traveled solo or not but don't forget about us. We're out here and HEADIN' TO THE MALDIVES. (Even tho I'm solo gal and you two are a couple - - I still like and subscribed because we have the same taste in travel destinations!! So cool! Happy travels and thanks again! 🙂
Hi Deanna! Thank you so much for your comment! Also LOL!! that's hilarious- I'm so glad you found us and said hi!!! Maldives is an amazing solo travel destination if you are looking for a wonderful, relaxing vacation in a super safe environment :). I will definitely keep solo travelers in mind from now on and make sure we consider which hotels are better for certain guest - if you ever have any questions or need any advice, let me know!! By the way, if you're looking at SAii, take a look at hard rock too- I love their balconies more than SAii and it's a super cool vibe at the hotel with lots of activities, things to do all day and you can still access the SAii amenities and marina
@@VoyagerGuru Thanks for the advice and offer to help! 😃Which place would you recommend for someone looking for peace and quiet, a gorgeous beach with clear water, eclectic beach villa with privacy and a great view, and good food? I typically spend the entire day on a beach lounge/swimming/walking along the beach. In the evening I love a place where I can work on my laptop with a breeze and the sound of the ocean. LOVE a great balcony or patio with a view! I'm not looking for activities or entertainment, but I would like a property that is large enough to walk around and explore a bit. I'm also looking for a place that includes an easy transfer from Male since I'll be on my own. Do you think SAii is a good fit or can you recommend another resort...? 🙂🙏🏻
@@deannaholt2851 Anytime!! Yea so that's a great question. SAii is a good choice if you want to have the small-hotel feel and still have access to a larger property with the marina and the hard rock. I think the hard rock villas are nicer and the service there was better, but SAii has quirky rooms with very interesting style. The villas at hard rock and saii both have great ocean views and access to the best beaches on the property so can't go wrong with either. Depending on your budget, I'd also take a look at oblu lobigili, it's a newer property that's adults only and very relaxing, i like the style. we stayed at their sister property, Ozen life maadhoo (which is also great) but could be what you're looking for in terms of the beach, food and access to malé being super easy. feel free to shoot me an email if you need any help or want some more recs!! team@voyagerguru.com
Love the video ❤. No complaints here. But I was wondering if there is any type of night life there. Like maybe a little bar or something to do at night. I plan on going next year and was just looking for as much information as possible.
Hey, so glad you enjoyed the video! The Maldives is a little different than most destinations, you really are quite isolated to the hotel and what facilities that specific hotel has. There are some hotels that are a little more nightlife focused, but it's certainly not a nightlife destination as a whole. If you're looking into hotels, we can help you plan, just email us at team@voyagerguru.com!
@@VoyagerGuru thank you so much!! I will definitely be in touch
I’m secretly planing a 10 years anniversary trip for me and my wife and I’ve watched sooooo many videos about the Maldives. Never have I seen a video like this one. So much useful information and now I’m sure I’m going to book a trip the coming days so I can surprise my wife. Great work you guys! Thanks so much for the inspiration. 🙏🏽👏🏽
Wow thank you so much for your comment, Andres!!! That’s so nice of you to say and means the world to us. We’re so glad it helps you in your planning process!!! Don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of any extra guidance! - maren

Thanks 😊 so glad you found the video helpful! If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments, or message us on Instagram @voyagerguru!
good job
Thank you so much!
Great video. What is your favorite resort in the Maldives
Thank you so much, Ruth! That is a TOUGH question because honestly there are so many fantastic properties. I think in terms of overall quality if budget was unlimited: Milaidhoo, Anantara Kihavah and JA Manafaru. That being said, the best hotel is the one you can afford and there is something in every price point in the Maldives with a lot to offer :)
For my trip back to Singapore, I chose to stay overnight near the airport first, as morning flights out of Male is much cheaper, and you get the opportunity to check out the capital.
awesome! that's a GREAT tip and we totally agree- if your flight is anytime AM through around 3-5pm, it's worth staying on Male the night before departure. There are some good options with free transfers to the airport
Great advices guys, thank you!
But do improve your microphone or voice recording 😉
Hey Elena! Thanks so much for your comment - yea, this was one of our early early videos lol. We have upgraded our gear significantly since then, in large part thanks to all our viewers!! Hopefully you’ll find the audio in some of our newer content of higher quality 🙌🏽🙌🏽
In may 21 i am going to maldives😊
Woohoo!! That sounds amazing!! Where are you going?
This is an amazing video.Will dedicate you my honeymoon stay in maldive
Thank you so much!! That is such a nice comment :) We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon!
Hi, my husband and I will like to travel to maldive from USA but we don’t know if tourist seat in the air plain will be comfortable for 19 hours flight. Cuz my husband is too big and first class is VERY EXPENSIVE! Any advice please
Hi there! Thanks for reaching out! So definitely look for airlines like Emirates or Qatar as they tend to have more generous room than US-based airlines like United. I would also encourage you to look at Premium Economy seats as they can be much more roomy in terms of width and footroom at usually a LOT cheaper than booking business class. For example, Singapore Airlines and Emirates have very nice PE seats that may be better for your husband :). When you are looking at airline tickets, look for the class of service that says "premium" or "premium economy" to find that class of service :). I hope this helps!
hi,is it true that if on a sea plane transfer you are limited to 20kg baggage pp,don.
Hi Don! Thanks for your comment. The short answer is it depends. Hotels have different rules with the seaplane companies so some are 20, some are 30-40. I would recommend contacting your hotel to confirm their specific regulations
HEY GUYS 🤩 Alex Here! - I’m new to your channel, came across this video when I was setting up my Maldives Play list!
It’s my dream to go ON MY OWN by the time I’m 50-52 ( I’m 41 at this time) - The question I have for you guys is: How accessible are the Resorts for wheelchair users as I’m one myself! I have Cerebral Palsy and use a small lightweight manual spots chair.. I have a strong upper body and can use my arms to move around small spaces when needed!
Last year I did check up on this myself and I came across a website that caters for disabled Holiday makers to the Maldives! 🤷🏽♂️ but I wasn’t sure if it was legit🤷🏽♂️ - Hope this hasn’t given you a headache 🤣 I’d really like to hear back from you an what you think! You know your stuff🤩👊🏽
Hi Alexander! Thanks so much for reaching out!! What a fantastic trip that will be! Regarding accessibility at resorts, that's a great question. One thing I do like about the Maldives is a lot of the resorts are very personalized and many come with butlers and personal concierges, so there is a good opportunity to make sure you are never stuck without assistance or someone to help you out. One thing I would recommend is when you narrow down your list of favorite resorts, I would contact them directly and ask them about their facilities and services and how they can accommodate you. It's possible some are better suited than others to provide the best experience for you, in terms of property layout, getting around (compacted sand versus looser sand roads etc). If you want me to check out the company you found, let me know the name and I can do some digging :). Feel free to comment back here or shoot us an email at team@voyagerguru.com.
@@VoyagerGuru WOW‼️ Thanks Guys! That so cool that you hit me back so soon! Everything you said makes perfect sense to me! An I was wondering about the whole compacted sand versus looser sand myself and you brought it up.. that would be my only hurdle 🤩 but.. where there’s a WILL 😉‼️
This Whole interaction has been the PUSH I needed! - I’ve already set up my savings account , just before you replied!
I’ve saved your email address too, I’ll stay in touch using that an here if that’s cool? And once I’m at the choosing stage, I’ll definitely drop you an email and get you to do some of that digging 💯😉‼️

@@VoyagerGuru You Too! ✌🏽
What are your top resorts so far? I’m having a hard time figuring out where to book.
Hey pat! That’s a tough question! There are so many amazing resorts - my favorites right now are Milaidhoo and Anantara on the high end luxury side and saii on the lower priced side. If you want some help picking feel free to email me your budget and dates and I’ll send you my favorite resorts :) team@voyagerguru.com - maren
Which hotel is that at 12:38 ?
Hi Kanaka, that is Heritance Aarah - the presidential suite. Its one of the many new all inclusive resorts in the Maldives
@@VoyagerGuru Just saw two videos from you and i subscribed. Good informative stuff and thanks for the pro-active help 👍
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us!! reach out anytime if you need anything ❤️
How many nights would you consider enough for a honeymoon?
Hi there! Thanks for your comment! It totally depends on your style of travel, but I would personally say 4 nights should be the minimum to really enjoy it and make the long journey worth it :)
What questions do you have about the Maldives? Let us know!
Hi. I booked the north lux hotel for 3 weeks from now.
I don’t see much mention about the hotel. Is it actually a good hotel as it seems?
Are there any better alternatives?
I also had a reservation for hurawalhi but cancelled it over the Lux north.
Thanks for your time.
Hey Arya! Thanks for your comment - we haven’t been to lux north male yet so I can’t speak too much to how good it actually is. However, I do know it’s their flagship property in their portfolio and they’re really going for a high end feel. In terms of services and cost, lux south Ari did a lot of nickel and diming and I imagine it’ll be a little bit of the same here, but the rooms looks massive and private. You can’t really go wrong in the Maldives- I love the location of lux north male because it’s accessible to the airport and the property is super new. Depending on your booking package, I would just be aware that there will be some costs if you want to do activities etc :) let us know what other questions you haven
hey can you guys please 🥺 ❤️ slow down a little bit when talking on your next videos ,I hardly catch-up your both two fast
Thanks so much for your comment! So sorry that it was hard to follow - there is an icon on the video on the right side to slow down the pace of the video, hopefully that helps!
Her: Maldives is a country with a thousand islands!
Me: who's from Maldives & it has only 200 - 250 islands! 😑
Haha well 200 inhabited islands, but technically there are nearby 1200 islands in your beautiful country! And with land building happening, both of those numbers could go up!
@@VoyagerGuru tnx for the update!

Hey Rahul! Thanks for your feedback- this was one of our early videos and we hadn’t yet perfected the mic situation. Hopefully you still found the content helpful :).
Whoever edits your videos, please sort out the constant cutting, it’s so annoying
Hello, thank you for your comment- we edit our own videos. If you don't like it, feel free to watch something else :). Have a nice day!
Look at the camera, not at him while he is talking.
Hey Josh, interesting feedback. We’ve actually thought about this a lot and most best practices we’ve found say otherwise, in a 2 person presentation. Happy to understand why you think the former might be better though.
Oh, one more thing: the audio is horrible. Invest in a professional mic., or do the audio track later in a studio environment.
Hello Josh, thank you for your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear you didn’t like the quality of our video. I hope you find something more insightful and helpful out there that is more to your liking.
Based on you apparent expertise, I’m certainly looking forward to seeing videos from your travels around the world. Have a great day!
It’s almost awkward to watch this lady staring intensely at her man every time he’s talking.

Sorry for missing the link - I've updated the description. Also check it out here: trivago.com/ You can basically compare the best prices here.
