Where to stay in the Maldives for your honeymoon?

Ask any bride to be where they would like to go to for their honeymoon and in their top 5 dream destinations will be The Maldives. Known for accommodation that sits on turquoise waters and that sits adjacent to pristine white sand, its the dream destination for any couple.

The Maldives is famous for its resorts and idyllic scenery. There are several accommodation options that you can explore, depending on how much you want to indulge and pamper yourself, as well as the budget that you can afford.

In this post, we’ll answer some questions and provide suitable options for you to consider having your dream holiday in the Maldives.

What is the average cost of a honeymoon in the Maldives?

If you plan to go to The Maldives for a week, you can expect to pay anything from $1300 per person to $10,000 per person. It depends on what type of accommodation you want to stay in and the location. If you want to stay at a 4 or 5 star resort, it will definitely cost more than if you choose to stay in budget accommodation.

What’s included in some of the Maldives resort honeymoon packages?

All inclusive

These are the resorts that offer everything. All you can eat food at top of the line restaurants in their resort, entertainment, relaxation and fun in the sun. You pay a premium for the added services, but it is well worth it.
