It is not a secret that the Maldives can be one of the most beautiful and most memorable places to visit. Make it more memorable with these tips:
Plan right.
An exceptional vacation starts with good planning. Give yourself enough time, at least 6 months prior to departure, to prepare all the necessary travel documents and insurance, to save enough money for the trip and to notify your work about your planned vacation.
Let the travel agency take care of everything...
Busy schedules may hinder you from planning your holiday properly. If this is the case, why not contact a travel agency and let them take care of everything you need—so that all you need to do is pack your bag and enjoy. Take note, however, that packages from travel agencies can be very limiting (number of meals, types of activities, etc.). That is why it is important to identify what you want to do and communicate it very well to your agent to make necessary adjustments that suit you.
Pick the right season...
Isn't it amazing that there is a place where the sun is shining at its best at the time when you are shoveling snow from your doorsteps? Maldives is a small group of about 1200 islands and islets located southeast of and southwest of Sri Lanka in the Laccadive Sea of Indian Ocean, in the equator. So even if it is freezing cold in most parts of North America and Europe, the Maldives offer a whole day of tropical weather with little changes of rain. That said, the best months to visit the country are from December to April. Airfare, hotel accommodation and other services increase during the peak season. Still, hotels and resorts are flocked by tourists. Off-peak season, on the other hand can be cheaper but that doesn't mean that you cannot get the kind of enjoyment you expect during these months. After all, if resting and relaxation without too much crowd are what you are looking for, traveling to Maldives from May to November can be a better option (just watch out for some possible downpours).
Choose the right resort...
The Maldives takes tourism seriously. It accounts to 20 percent of its GDP. It provides employment, both formal and informal, to the locals. So you can only just imagine how well the people in the Maldives take care of their guests. That said, in all tourist resorts in operation in the Maldives, you can expect to get the best treatment, pampering and hospitality. However, the prices of these resorts vary widely depending on their location, amenities, rating and services. When choosing one, consider your budget, its proximity to your itineraries and other services you want to avail.
Maximize the day...
Maldives is all about the sun. Many people come to this place to relax, lay back and enjoy the magnificent climate and sceneries. It is also picked as one of the most top destinations for honeymooning couples and those who are hoping to get married in an exotic place. But if you want to go against the flow, there are several activities that provide an exceptional holiday experience. Many resorts and hotel offer scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing and other water activities.
You can take a tour around Male—the most vibrant, most developed and historically- and architecturally-rich island in the country.
