The Best Option for someone who wants to experience the best of both worlds is to split your stay between the Beach Villa and Water Villa. Which is what most of the Couples do.
Like for example : If your Honeymoon Trip is for 6 Days you spend 3 days in Beach Villa and 3 In Water Villa. The division of days depends on your preference with The Travelius.
(2) Transfer from Airport to Resort : Second thing to consider is how far is the Resort from the Male Airport? One resort is one island in the Maldives. Each island is separated from the rest by sea. That means you need a transfer to get there. Most of the travel agents and tour operators include transfer charges in the booking. If you make a direct booking the resort would probably include transfer in the package.
Resort located close to Male’ International Airport often use speedboats for transfer. Speed Boat charges are generally very minimal $50 to $200 and usually included in the package.For remote locations seaplanes are the most effective mode of transfer.
The minimum Sea Plane charges are $300 – 500$ Per Person for round trip. It can increase depending on the distance of the resort from the Male Airport. So while booking through a Travel Agent or If you are booking directly from the resort. Make sure to clear this point! i.e. If the Sea Plane charges are included or not.
(3) Food Preference : This is the third most important point to be considered : It is your meal preference which again will affect the budget As your resort will most probably be the only resort on your island, you’ll have to eat your meals at the same resort. A single meal can easily cost $50 for a single person, including the tax of around 22%. As you will be living on an island, you cannot just wander off in search of cheaper meals and drinks. Hence Meal preferences will also play an important role in your budget.
The Following are the most common meal Preferences offered by the Resorts. And as per your requirement you can choose any Package:
Full Board All Inclusive: Full Board All Inclusive means, Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner – Snacks & Drinks (Alcohol) everything is included in the package. The Best and the most expensive package inclusion for people who LIVE TO EAT & DRINK
Full Board (FB) : Full Board means that Breakfast, Lunch and evening meals (Dinner) except alcohol are included in the price but any drinks or snacks outside of these meal times will cost you extra.
Full Board package is good for someone who like to have meals on fixed times and also for someone who do not want to carry too much cash while holidaying. Since all the meals are included in your package you don’t have to shell out any extra money on your food. As pretty much everything is included in the package price, this is the best type of board basis for non-alcoholic individuals.
Half Board (HB) : Breakfast and Dinner are both included in the price, meaning that any food or drink outside of meal times will cost you extra. This package is perfect for those who are happy spending the day lounging by the pool at the hotel after a Heavy Breakfast. Or wish to Skip Lunch.
Bed and Breakfast (B&B) : This package is best for those who like to start the day with a good hearty breakfast but don’t want to be fixed to certain prearranged times for the rest of their meals, or want to eat different cuisines offered by the resort by paying for each dish that they order.
