Travel to Maldives: heaven on beach

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

For many consecutive years, the Maldives (or Maldives) has always been ranked as the dream destination of most travelers. The island nation consists of a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives in the south of the Lakshadweep Islands in India, and about 700 kilometers (435 mi) southwest of Sri Lanka. If you pay attention, you can know from June to September every year is considered the low tourist season in Maldives (then the airline flies to Male, the capital of the Maldives, often launching a lot Promotions).
Customs and visa
17952981_10155351144358846_8169740755534182285_n.jpg

  • Transit in Singapore: Customs in Singapore is not difficult. They only looked at the face, smiled and stamped, whether to ask a few questions about the journey. So girls do not need to be afraid. The state of arrest and non-passing occurs only to women who are "caught" and "noticed" only. Be assured that there will be no unrest.

  • Entry Maldives: No need for a visa, according to the procedures you have to prove you have hotel booking, 2 way ticket and credit card. However, almost customs inspection is very loud.

    Resort
    Resort Maldives has the following options:

  • All-inclusive: all inclusive as mentioned above (Note: food and drink in the room will not be free, 2 bottles of mineral water and drink in the bar, but brought back to the room is charged separately )

  • Full-board: eat buffet 3 meals, drink anything more personal.

  • Half-board: Breakfast and dinner

  • The rest is the breakfast cover. Almost all the resorts provide breakfast for you
    My 2 night stay here costs $ 280 (not including 12 state taxes and 10% service tax) - the total is $ 370.

How to move to resort:
Option 1: You can contact resort by mail for appointment, just provide flight number (eg TR2502) and the next time. Depending on the resort will pick you up by seaplane or high-speed train. The charge is personal, eg on Agoda when you reach the payment it will show the shipping charges, small letters. Do not see cheap resort that ham, it farther than 100 km to fly takes $ 1,000.
Method 2: This way you can go to the airport and rent the service right outside the airport to the resort, it will be cheaper but please contact the service provider outside the airport to be sure.

Option 3: Talk to people and bargain with them (apply only to resorts near the airport or Male). Much cheaper but time consuming. This way only succeed when you choose will be in the capital of Male the first day.
Capital of Malé

To reach the capital of Malé you can use the following means:

Option 1 (in the previous resort, played in the last capital): If from the resort, at the last day, you can ask them to take you directly to the capital, as it is only 5 minutes away from the airport. They will not charge you. After playing in the capital the next morning can take the ferry to Ibrahim Nasir International Airport. One way fare is less than 1 USD, 10 min.

Note: It's a good idea to book your appointment as soon as you arrive, because if you put too many people on the day you return they will return to your capital at 8am or late, possibly ruining your plan.

Option 2 (explore the capital first, go to the following resort): After leaving the airport Ibrahim Nasir, you go out the dock in front of the airport and pick up a public ferry to Malé. Explore the capital for a day (the capital is small, enough for a day). Then contact the resort to pick you up in the capital or at the airport.

Hotels in Malé:

As said you can choose on Agoda, Booking ... But best to stay at Laze 4 star price only about 60 USD, more expensive ransacked house for only 15 USD but you had a high-grade breakfast and 4 star service, airport pick up (remember to book in advance), have a delicious and quality breakfast, near eateries and grocery stores and transportation (actually, It is easy to go anywhere. Generally the hotel is great, I got a cold with no medicine they left the staff to buy for.

So the three issues of eating, sleeping and tickets have been resolved. Under $ 20 million I have successfully made a 4 day Maldive trip, 4 star resort resort and includes dining and full enjoy games like sunset fishing, scuba diving and fish watching. fat...

Choose wisely and keep in mind that this is a holiday, as there is probably a chance to go to the Maldives again. "

Some note when traveling to Maldives Island:
Maldives are Islamic, so you do not get too cool if you do not want to trouble yourself (if you want to wear a bikini, try to go to the private island with resort).
In the Maldives, it is difficult to find places for alcoholic beverages like alcohol.
In the Maldives, there is no public ferry between the islands on Friday (only seaplane or speedboat access).
From morning to mid Friday afternoon, restaurants, shops and supermarkets in Male are inactive. So, stock up on food if you want to come to Male on Friday.
Maldives visa exemption for tourists. Arriving in the Maldives does not require a visa to enter in advance due to the visa issued at the Male airport, however must show the booking of tickets, return air ticket and credit card.
The low season starts in June but should book air tickets and rooms in 1-2 months.
The Maldives is an archipelago located relatively low in sea level, including many coral reefs and shallow water. Note that you should bring diving equipment if you do not want to rent equipment at the resort for quite high prices.
The money in the Maldives is rupiah, 1USD = 15rupiah
