The Maldives.

Different islands, different ways to stay.

Planning notes

Plan around the journey.

The Maldives works best when the island, transfer, and time of year are considered together.

01

Choose the transfer

Speedboat, seaplane, or domestic flight shapes the first and last day.

02

Match the island

Pick the pace: resort privacy, a local island, or a little of both.

03

Leave room for weather

Sea conditions and transfer times set the rhythm, so keep the plan easy.
