Maldives trips make it onto travelers' bucket lists for good reason. Spread across 26 atolls and encompassing more than 1,000 coral islands in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, white beaches and world class water sports - including diving with whale sharks - make it the ultimate tropical destination. Maldives travel packages make a memorable beach holiday more affordable and easy to book. When should you book a vacation package to the Maldives?The high season for travel to the Maldives runs from December to March, when the weather averages in the mid- to high-eighties daily, and Maldives flight and hotel prices are at their highest. Monsoon season extends from May to October, with peak rainfalls between May and November in the northern atolls, and November to March in the southern atolls. You can find cheap Maldives vacation packages from April to May, and in November, as well as during the rainy months.

Join us on this unforgettable open water swimming holiday in the island paradise of The Maldives. Our beautiful liveaboard boat is the perfect base from which to explore one of the most spectacular and idyllic destinations on the planet with a small and intimate group of swimmers.
This trip is for swimmers who want to explore the many wonders that the stunning Maldives islands, atolls and reefs have to offer. From the crystal clear waters to some of the most vibrant marine life on the planet, The Maldives is the perfect location to take part in a swimming adventure holiday that you will never forget.
For safety reasons, we rely on decent weather conditions when carrying out our swims. As a consequence, open water swimming holidays require a certain degree of on-trip flexibility which can result in changes to the planned itinerary. These changes often add a touch of uniqueness to your trip and will be communicated to you by your SwimTrek guides as quickly as possible.
As SwimTrekkers come from all over the world, and join our swimming holidays in numerous destinations, we don't currently offer flights as part of our SwimTrek packages. We do however want to do as much as we can to ensure that our guests get the best deals when travelling to one of our trips so check out our SwimTrek flight tips page on the website.

Known to be the perfect holiday and honeymoon spot, relaxing is certainly what to do in Maldives. I surely did a lot of that when I visited. However, this paradise on earth has a lot more to offer, and it really is suitable to any kind of traveler.
If it is imperative that you have internet access whilst on holiday in the Maldives, there are a few options available to you. A lot of resorts will offer free WiFi in public areas, but not all offer blanket coverage of the island or in the hotel rooms/villas.
Thank you for your kind words about our country. Awesome that you chose to experience local life too as most people just see the resorts as life in the maldives, but as u would have seen, its really different.
This was really interesting, Lauren, thanks! I had no idea the Maldives were such a strict Muslim country, that really seems strange to me considering I picture it as the quintessential tropical holiday place: somewhere to lie on a beach in my bikini with a cocktail. Good job I know better now!
P.s. Do visit again and share your experience. As you mentioned, certain travel info is hard to get hands on. That is true as this sector (backpakers/budget holiday) is a recent setup is on the verge of expansion. Hence as the market grows, so will the services and facilities. If you need certain info before hand try facebook queries and other travel agent websites.
hi Lauren, nice blog! learn a lot from it. me and my husband are going in maldives this March on a budget travel mode. :) based from my previous research, the place is really quite expensive which im afraid if our pocket money would make it. haha!!! yet im excited to see the beach, the water bungalow and everything there! your photos are awesome that i want to see it in person.
How much ruffiya we have to take with us for one week stay at maldives for two persons. On average How long it will take to enjoy a single island?? is one week stay is enough for the islands you have mentioned??
Oh, no way! Yeah, when we were there we were sharing the beach with maybe five people at the most and there were no package holiday tourists/tour groups at all! Such a shame to hear it only took a couple of years for it to change so significantly :-(
hi and bravo!
that was the most informative and greatest post i ever encounterred on internet about maldives on budget.
i have a question: was it cheaper to pay in rufiyah or in USD?
thnx in advance
