A collection of more than a thousand islands – the Maldives

The Maldives – any introduction needed? #clearemeraldwaters #beautifulbeaches #luxuriousoverwaterbungalows

That’s what I thought. 🙂

Lately, Maldives was #1 in best places to visit in Asia, #3 in best honeymoon destinations, and #3 in best beaches in the world. Thanks to its dreamy overwater bungalows and romantic sunset, the Maldives will always rank as a top honeymoon destination, however, it is well suited for a family trip or a girls’ escape. The Maldives is recommended for travelers visiting magnificent South Asian cities or Middle Eastern capitals.

Before planning to visit the Maldives, keep in mind that the best time for vacation there is from November to April. There is a dry season and a wet, rainy season. Of course, there are pros and cons to visiting in each season. Make sure you island-hop while visiting the destination, don’t resume your vacation at one island only, don’t waste the occasion to discover multiple islands by staying at more than one resort, or at least, take a day tour to an adjacent atoll. For more activities, go to:

It might sound strange, but it’s actually possible to visit the Maldives on a budget, the most expensive part of your journey will definitely be spent on flight tickets (depending on the country from where you’re flying). Find the best deals on flights with one click below:

Again, as I mentioned in the previous article about Dubai, is our responsibility to stay informed before the trip and make sure we have all the papers. For the Maldives, if I leave from Romania, I am able to get the visa the moment I step into the airport (MLE).

Did you know the Maldives is known for having shores that illuminate at night, lit up by bioluminescent plankton? If you would like to experience something so unique, make sure you’ll plan your vacation accordingly – during plankton high season (mid-summer to mid-winter).

The culture here is a unique melting pot of Sri Lankan, Malaysian, Middle Eastern, Indonesian, and African influences. 

As per most exotic destinations, taking into consideration you’re gonna be on an island in the middle of the ocean, food and alcohol are not cheap. At all. So take into consideration finding an all-inclusive resort. Or just spend some extra cash, if you feel like it. Treat yourself, you’re on vacation. Most of the accommodations will manage to include the transfer from the airport and back to the airport when you leave, but in case this thing is not possible, don’t stress about it, you can do it on your own:

There are different types of transfers: you can get a transfer by speed boat, or if it’s available, a transfer by seaplane, or even get a flight + speedboat/seaplane. Make sure you find this information before buying your flight tickets because the hours when you land are also important. For example, if you land after 3.00 pm, you can’t make it to the seaplane.
