Visiting Maldives is a unique experience and attracts tourists from all over the world who are interested in getting to know exuberant places, bathing in wonderful beaches and discovering the most attractive tourist spots on the islands. 

Maldives is a destination full of luxurious and sophisticated hotels, also known for its plethora of resorts and it is not usually a country with such low values, so saving can seem almost impossible.

But believe me, it's not, you can save money. 

However, before explaining to you how to travel to Maldives economically, it is important that you are aware of some prohibitions that I will mention in the next topic, so that you can stay in the know and enjoy your trip in this amazing country in the best way.

 

 

Antes de viajar para Maldivas

Before going on your trip, always remember that Maldives is governed by Islamic laws, so you need to be on top of some rules.

Alcoholic beverages are not allowed anywhere, nor can you take them in your luggage. 

It is also forbidden to walk around with only swimming clothes, this is only an exception in resorts and beaches suitable for this, the famous Bikini Beach. 

Otherwise, cover your legs and shoulders when out of these places. 

Now that you are aware of some common things in Brazil, but which are not allowed in Maldives, I will give you some special tips to generate a lot of savings on your trip. 

Let's check it out?

 

How to save in Maldives 

 

1 – Stay on cheaper islands

 

Knowing how to choose what to do or where to go in Maldives also makes all the difference when it comes to saving money. 

Maafushi Island looks like a paradise and is a cheap island to visit. 

There are no luxury bungalows there, but it's perfect for people of any class and that's why it's possible to have a lot of fun in this place without having to spend a lot.

2 – Save on hosting 

 

Accommodation is one of the costs that weigh most on a trip, however, there are plenty of alternatives to save and pay little for the stay. 

Procurar por hospedagens através do Airbnb é uma delas, já que o Airbnb se trata de um aplicativo que permite encontrar estadias muito baratas. 

You can even rent entire houses at attractive prices, and have the whole house to yourself for a few days or for as long as you need to rent. 

So it's really worth it if you prefer to go alone or accompanied, and you can even find tours and much more, all in one place!

3 – Buy the food

Having lunch in restaurants is a bad idea if you are trying to save money, the ideal is always to buy food at the market. 

You can cook in hostels or Airbnb and save a lot of money.

 

4 – Travel on your own

 

To save on your trip in Maldives, avoid closing travel packages with agencies, traveling on your own is always cheaper.

That's because you'll be able to shape your trip according to your choices, being able to opt for more economical alternatives.

5 – Day Use

 

A good idea to go to a Resort in Maldives without spending a fortune is through Day Use, a way for you to pay only US$70 and be able to do some activities there. 

The daily rate will not be included, of course, but you will be able to enter the Resort, take some nice photos and enjoy the beauty of the place!

 

6 - The best time

When you decide to go to Maldives, think carefully about the time of year you plan to do this. 

For two reasons: one because you can go there in very bad weather, where it rains a lot, or at a time when prices are higher. 

Generally in rainy weather, the values ​​tend to be lower, and the streets are quite empty.

In addition, during the low season (May to November) hotels have promotions, so it's the most worthwhile time to visit, you can make your dream come true and spend less.

In Maldives, December is when the high season starts, at that time the streets are crowded, the hotels are full and of course: prices double. 

The high season runs from December to April. 

 

 

7 – Local beaches

The local beaches are the best choices for those who want to save money, you can enjoy the sea, sun and sand and the best thing is you don't need to spend anything for it! I recommend bringing a lot of sunscreen and a hat, as it is really hot! 

The local beaches are just as beautiful as the private ones, but the best part is that you don't have to pay anything to be there. 

 

8 – Ask for information 

A super valuable tip that always works to save money is to ask for help and tips from the locals. 

They will undoubtedly help you find the best and cheapest places for you to visit.

9 – Transport

The rule is simple: if you want to save money in Maldives or any other destination, walk a lot and always use public transport.

In the case of Maldives, try to imagine if locals spend a fortune to cross to other islands? Certainly not!

Therefore, always choose to take a public ferry boat, the values ​​are around US$ 1 to US$ 5 per person. 

Shipping is slower, but the economy is higher.

A golden tip: Don't just go to the trendiest tourist spots in the city, where most people go, and that's why these are also the most expensive places, without a doubt the very cool place that is not so well known.

So explore and enjoy!

 

10 – Flights 

One thing you should already know is that airline tickets to Maldives are not cheap.

Leaving Brazil straight to Maldives can cost up to R$7,000, a tip to save money is to try to break the trip, I told you more here.

You can check some alternative flights to Europe more affordable, and from there, go to the island of Hulhulé, or Velana International Airport. 

It may seem laborious, but with this you can often save up to 30%.

If when going to Maldives, you are already in Asia, opt for flights from airlines that are “Low Cost”, as they have lower prices. 

Companies like Air Asia and Jet Airways tend to have more attractive prices. 

 

 

Maldives Visa

The visa is obtained the moment you arrive at immigration and will be valid for up to 30 days, and best of all, there is no fee. 

However, you will need to have an international proof of yellow fever vaccination, booked return airfare and, of course, money to stay in the country.
