Avoiding tourist traps in the Maldives can enhance your experience and help you enjoy the beauty of the islands more authentically. Here are some tips:
Timing is everything, you can save up to 50% on accommodation if you go at the right time which is during the low seasons.
Location is an important factor in your cost, if you choose an island that is too far away, you may have to pay for the high cost of transfer as you may need to go by seaplane.
**Research Local Islands**: Stay on local islands instead of private resorts. Local islands like Maafushi and Thulusdhoo offer more genuine experiences and are generally less touristy.
Beware of the hidden costs such as food bills which may cost you thousands of dollars. Some resort offers full board accommodation at discounted prices which you do not have to pay extra for anything else.
Family-friendly resorts: Some resorts offer kids stay free, so you can opt for these resorts when you plan for your holiday.
Resort Activities: Participate in activities organized by guesthouses or local operators rather than those offered by resorts, which can be overpriced. Look for snorkeling, diving, or cultural experiences that are led by locals.
Avoid Overpriced Excursions: Research and compare prices for excursions. Most times, resorts on public islands offer the same trips for much less than resorts on private islands do.
By staying informed and making conscious choices, you can enjoy the Maldives while steering clear of tourist traps.
