How to choose an island for a holiday in the Maldives?
The Republic of Maldives and its island archipelago have almost 1500 islands. Some of them are uninhabited. Some are more adapted to the life of local residents, and some are resort islands where the best hotels are located. But today we will try to analyze the topic of choosing an island for a holiday in the Maldives.
If the budget is not limited
If you have any reasonable means for a vacation, then choose by hotels. 4-, 5- are your options on the island resorts. Here you need to take into account the fact that you need to fly to such islands by seaplane, and this is several more hours to the already tiring 8-9 hour flight from Moscow.
In a situation of unlimited budget, it will not matter to you on which island the hotel you like the most is located.
NEVER CHOOSE MALE ISLAND FOR A VACATION. YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE THE MAGICAL FAIRY TALE THAT THE MALDIVES CAN GIVE YOU!
To find the perfect island for your Maldives holiday, you need to take into account several different factors. You should consider: availability of accommodation; proximity to beaches and diving sites; speed and reliability of travel around the island; presence in the surroundings of Maldives tourist attractions; availability of attractions and attractions. You should also consider the cost and expenses of travel to the island and personal preferences, such as a quiet or noisy atmosphere. We hope that you will be able to find the perfect place for your holiday in the wonderful Maldives!

Here we can say without a twinge of conscience that our island of Thoddoo will be the best option for budget tourists.
Thoddoo Island is a place of life for the residents of the Maldives, but it has its own bikini beaches, there are many good offers for accommodation (including our guest house Relax Residence), and also has its own very interesting house reef. Therefore, if you have a limited budget, we recommend that you choose Thoddoo for your vacation (and only 1 hour by speedboat from Male).
The shops in Thoddoo will offer you everything you need for the best resort holiday:
- food (fruits, ice cream, sweets, chips, etc.);
- beach accessories (flip-flops, shorts, T-shirts, caps);
- goods for active recreation (masks, fins, balls).
