Not all Maldives trips are the same. Two guests staying the same number of nights can have very different budgets simply based on the style of resort, the time of year, and what is included.
Resorts in the Maldives can be roughly grouped as budget friendly, mid range, classic luxury, and ultra luxury. Higher categories come with better locations, larger villas, more privacy, and premium service, but also a higher nightly rate. Many travelers discover that a smartly chosen mid range resort can feel very luxurious if the house reef and layout are good. You can browse real examples in our Resorts in Maldives collection.
Food and drinks are a big part of your Maldives cost, especially on private islands where you cannot walk to outside restaurants. Bed and breakfast keeps your nightly rate lower but you will pay for lunches and dinners as you go. Half board and full board include more meals. All inclusive has the highest nightly rate but can be excellent value if you enjoy cocktails, snacks, and activities throughout the day.
Beach villas are usually the entry category and often the best value for money. Overwater villas offer the classic Maldives experience and usually cost more per night. Adding a private pool increases the price again but also changes the feel of your stay, especially for honeymooners and families who like to relax in the villa. For inspiration, compare something like Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort with a high end private island such as Velaa Private Island Maldives.
Transfer costs are sometimes forgotten during early planning, yet they can be a significant part of your budget. Speedboat resorts close to Malé are usually more affordable to reach. Seaplane transfers give that postcard view but are typically the most expensive. Domestic flights with speedboat connections sit somewhere in the middle.
Romantic dinners on the beach, spa packages, sandbank trips, diving, and photo shoots add magic to your trip and also add to your cost. It is often better to plan a few key experiences in advance so you are not surprised when you arrive. Our Maldives Diving Guide is a good place to explore activity ideas.
The Maldives is a year round destination, but rates can change with seasons, school holidays, and global demand. Christmas and New Year are usually the peak.
