Discover Maldives
The Maldives is the honeymoon destination the rest of the world is measured against. Each resort has its own private island, so your days are simple: step from your villa into the lagoon, snorkel a house reef with turtles and reef sharks, then watch the sunset from your deck.

Resorts are reached by speedboat from the airport or by a spectacular seaplane flight over the atolls. Choose all-inclusive for easy budgeting, or half board if you plan to splurge on a sandbank dinner or a manta ray excursion.

Questions
Before you go to Maldives
Is all-inclusive worth it?
Usually, yes. Resort prices for food and drinks are high and you can’t leave the island for a restaurant, so all-inclusive keeps the budget predictable.
Seaplane or speedboat?
Speedboat resorts in North and South Malé Atoll are cheaper to reach and work with any flight time. Seaplane resorts are more remote, with quieter reefs.
Is the Maldives only for couples?
Not at all — many resorts have kids’ clubs, family villas and shallow lagoons perfect for children.
