Guide to Visiting the Maldives on a Budget
The Maldives is a popular destination for travelers, especially those who want to escape the crowds and enjoy some time in paradise. While it can be expensive to travel here, it’s also possible to visit the Maldives without breaking the bank. This guide will show you how to visit the Maldives on a budget so you can enjoy this beautiful country without worrying about spending too much money!
Booking your flight
Booking your flight is the first step to planning your trip. If you’re looking for budget deals, consider booking with a low-cost airline like Air Asia or Jetstar. These airlines are known for their cheap fares and some even offer free WiFi on board!
If you want to save even more money on flights, make sure that you book early in advance so that you can get the best deals before they sell out. You may also want to check social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter where companies often post special offers when they have extra seats available on flights.
If all else fails then just go directly through the airline’s website where there might be some hidden discounts waiting just under “special offers” or “daily deals”.
Booking accommodation
The first step to booking your accommodations is deciding on the right place. You have a lot of options, but for budget travelers looking for a place that’s comfortable and convenient (and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg), we recommend going with Airbnb.
You can also find great deals on Expedia and TripAdvisor. If you want to be extra sure that you’re getting the best deal possible, try searching multiple websites at once!
Getting around
Getting around the Maldives is easy. The country consists of 1,000+ islands, but most people stay on one or two islands during their visit. You’ll need transportation to get from your airport or resort to other resorts and islands, so it’s best to take a taxi or speedboat when you arrive in the Maldives.
If you are staying at an all-inclusive resort with all meals included, then there will be plenty of options for getting around the island by boat or ferry boat that come by every 15 minutes during the day time and 30 minutes at night time (and sometimes even more frequently). If this isn’t enough for you and want some adventure in your life, then renting/buying scooters might be another option for exploring nearby areas without having any worries about how much money it will cost because everything has been paid beforehand through bookings made beforehand!
What to bring with you
- Beachwear and swimwear: You’ll want to be comfortable on the beach in your own skin, so bring along some beach shorts or a bikini.
- Lightweight clothing: The weather can be unpredictable in the Maldives, so pack an extra shirt or two just in case it rains during your trip.
- Sunglasses and sunscreen: You’ll need both of these items if you’re going to enjoy yourself at all while visiting this tropical location!
- Waterproof watch: This is essential for keeping track of time when you’re snorkeling or scuba diving in one of the many coral reefs surrounding your resort island–remembering what time it is could save your life!
Things to do in the Maldives
- Diving and snorkelling
- Visiting the local islands
- Visiting Malé, the capital city of the Maldives. This can be done by boat or ferry and will give you an insight into local life in this small but bustling city.
- Visiting the national museum where you can learn about how people lived in ancient times. There are also exhibits on modern day life in Maldives as well as some interesting historical artefacts such as weapons used during war time with Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) back when it was called Mahiladivu Island by its inhabitants before becoming part of British India under colonial rule during late 19th century when most countries were colonised by European powers such as Britain who had control over large parts of Asia at that time.”
Diving and snorkelling
The Maldives are an excellent place to snorkel. The waters of the Indian Ocean are warm and clear, making it easy to spot coral and marine life. Some of the best snorkeling spots are located close to shore and can be reached by swimming or taking a boat ride. If you’re looking for something more challenging, try scuba diving! The Maldives have some of the best dive sites in Asia–and they’re also home to some of the world’s most experienced instructors who will teach you how not only how but why things work underwater (and on land).
The Maldives are a fantastic place to visit, especially if you’re on a budget.
