• Best season: Nov–Apr (drier). Shoulder months can be cheaper with occasional showers.
• Transfers: nearby atolls = speedboat; far islands = seaplane (often daylight-only).
• Meal plans: HB/FB/All-Inclusive can reduce surprises on food & drinks.
• Family tip: pick shallow lagoons + kids club + villa close to facilities.

The Maldives connects via Velana International Airport (MLE). Plan your arrival time around transfers— especially if your resort uses a seaplane.

• Seaplane note: prefer daytime arrivals to reduce long waits.
• Documents: keep your resort confirmation and transfer instructions accessible.

Your resort choice defines the whole trip: transfer type, daily rhythm, and total budget. For the smoothest Maldives 7 day itinerary, stick to one resort (one atoll) if possible.

• Luxury resorts – iconic overwater villas
• Mid-range resorts – best value for couples & families
• Budget stays & local islands – guesthouses + day tours

• Speedboat: best for nearby atolls (often cheaper, flexible).
• Seaplane: fast for distant resorts; align with daylight operations.
• Domestic flight + boat: common for far atolls (sometimes cheaper than seaplane).
• Local ferries: used for inhabited islands (budget style).

Tip: if transfers are expensive, consider a closer atoll or a local island base with day tours.

• Beach / private boat dinner

• Flights: $500 – $1,000 (season dependent)
• Accommodation: Budget $700–$1,200 • Mid-range $1,500–$3,000 • Luxury $5,000+
• Transfers (boat/seaplane): $100 – $400 (can be higher depending on resort)
• Activities: $200 – $600
• Food: $250 – $600 (lower with meal plans)
• Total estimate: Budget $1,750–$2,600 • Mid-range $2,600–$4,600 • Luxury $7,000+

Add a 10–15% buffer for taxes, service charges, and small extras (drinks, photos, tips).

• Transfer timing: if you have a seaplane, avoid late-night arrivals if possible.
• Snorkeling gear: bringing your own improves comfort and can save money.
• Sun protection: reef-safe sunscreen + rash guard (sun is strong even when cloudy).
• Meal plan math: if you drink, All-Inclusive often wins; otherwise HB can be enough.
• Family comfort: choose a villa close to facilities to reduce walking in heat.
