1. BUDGET

Let’s get started on how to plan a Maldives honeymoon. First things first, the all-important budgeting!

  • Determine the amount you can afford to put towards your Maldives honeymoon within the time frame available. One of the best ways to save is to open a separate bank account and make regular payments to this account. Saving as little as $50 a week over the duration of a year means you can have the Maldives honeymoon package of your dreams.
  • The amount you have to spend on your honeymoon in Maldives will determine the options available to you – eg a private resort island, a local island, a liveaboard safari vessel or a combination to help you stretch the budget.

By booking early you are safeguarded to get an excellent Maldives honeymoon package – with special inclusions and bonuses including free nights, meal plan upgrades and discounted island transfers.

3. MONTH OF TRAVEL

  • Consider if you can be flexible with your Maldives honeymoon dates.

  • Decide whether you wish to travel in peak season or you are able to travel on shoulder/low season.

  • Better deals can be offered in low season if you are willing to be prepared for the odd rainy day in Maldives.

  • Alternatively, determine if you wish to travel when weather is predicted to be optimal, although it’s worth remembering prices will be at a premium.

  • Determine your personal preference for your accommodation on your honeymoon in Maldives – Beach Villas or Overwater Bungalows or a combination of the two. Imagine strolling down your own private path to a palm-fringed white sand beach on your Maldives honeymoon, or plunging from your overwater villa directly into the warm crystal ocean water!

  • Enjoy your private sun deck with 24-hour access to the surrounding ocean or dipping into your very own Jacuzzi and private pool is also an option.
  • Generally, Water Villas are the highest room category, however at some high end resorts the Beach Villas can be the highest category of accommodation.

7. MEAL PLAN

.

  • Dining options on the islands are generally a fusion of Western, Asian, Oriental and local cuisine reflecting the taste of Maldives.

  • Before arriving at your Maldives honeymoon resort, it’s best to consider which meal plan you would prefer while planning your honeymoon.

  • Take into account whether you are a couple that prefers to enjoy a multitude of dining experiences and indulge in alcoholic and tropical fruit beverages daily, or are you a couple that will happily skip lunch each day?

  • Choosing ‘Breakfast Only’ option means that you have to pay for additional meals and remember these will be liable to taxes.

  • Choosing ‘Half Board’ (breakfast and dinner) is perfect if you wake up late, enjoy brunch and are happy to snack or skip lunch and wait it out for an early dinner.

  • Choosing ‘Full Board’ includes all 3 meals daily.

  • Choosing ‘All Inclusive’ includes your 3 daily meals plus all beverages and in addition many resorts offer excellent All Inclusive excursions, experiences, spa vouchers and even discounts on fine dining restaurants.

  • Choosing All Inclusive means there are no surprises at the end of your stay upon check out. You know how much your honeymoon will cost upfront, before you even arrive. This will allow for easier budgeting on extra activities and for those unique special once-in-a-lifetime experiences on your Maldives honeymoon.
