The Maldives without the resort price — a stay on the lively local island of Maafushi, with excursions to sandbanks, snorkelling and dolphins, and a resort day pass.
You don’t need a private resort to enjoy the Maldives — the lively local island of Maafushi offers the same turquoise water and reefs at a fraction of the price, with friendly guesthouses, a bikini beach and superb excursions.
We arrange the speedboat, a comfortable guesthouse and the best trips — sandbanks, snorkelling, dolphins and even a luxury-resort day pass — for a wonderful-value island escape.
A realistic, production-ready plan with drive times, altitudes and seasonal notes — fully customisable to your dates and pace.
