00:00Many believe that traveling to the Maldives costs thousands of dollars and may see it as unattainable.
00:06But after experiencing so much luxury in an overwater bungalow with a private pool
00:11and the budget version at a beachfront hotel on a local island,
00:15Today I'm going to tell you how much it really costs to travel to the Maldives.
00:19I'll give you my recommendations and everything you need to know to plan your trip
00:24and have the best possible experience.
00:29My fellow travelers, today I greet you from under a small tree here in the Maldives,
00:34one of the most dreamed-of destinations in the whole world and which for many may seem unattainable.
00:41Because yes, here you can easily spend thousands and thousands of dollars in just one night.
00:46But it's also true that you can enjoy this paradise for less than $100 a night.
00:52So in this video we're going to talk about luxury Maldives,
00:56versus the economic Maldives.
00:59We're going to compare the best of both worlds, and at the end of this video,
01:03in addition to telling you how to get there, what to do,
01:06I'll give you all my recommendations and what I would do to make your trip perfect.
01:12And just as you dreamed it.
01:14So let's begin.
01:23The first thing is how to get to the Maldives, and if I'm honest, this is where you're going to...
01:28go a large part of the investment.
01:30But if you buy your tickets in advance, you can get a good price.
01:34Obviously, everything will depend on the season, the place you are from,
01:38So here I'm going to give you some examples from Latin America, the United States, and Europe.
01:43From Miami with Turkish Airlines, from $1,290.
01:49From New York with Gulf Air, from $860.
01:53From Mexico City with Lufthansa for $1,240.
01:57From Madrid with Etihad, from $615.
02:01And from Caracas with Turkish Airlines, from $1,950.
02:06All these fares are round trip.
02:08If you're in Venezuela at home, the easiest and fastest option will be to fly with Turkish Airlines.
02:15You stop over in Istanbul and from there go directly to the Maldives.
02:18But that one might cost you a little more.
02:20However, if you fly from Caracas to Madrid and then from Madrid to the Maldives with a layover,
02:26Whether in Doha or the United Arab Emirates, depending on the airline, you can save a few dollars.
02:32Second important point, the visa.
02:34And here's some good news for you, because for most Latin American countries
02:39You don't need to apply for a visa to get to the Maldives.
02:42including countries such as Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Argentina.
02:47Upon arrival, they will only ask for your onward ticket, hotel reservations, and, of course, a valid passport.
02:53Okay, now that you've bought your ticket, we need to decide what you're going to do on your trip to the Maldives.
02:58because there are more than a thousand islands, some private and others local.
03:02What's the difference? That's where we're headed.
03:12Luxury resorts are located on private islands.
03:16Those photos and videos that are always going viral on social media,
03:20Where the woman is riding the bicycle, you can see the bungalows over the water, spectacular.
03:25And what he became truly famous for: the Maldives.
03:28At these luxury resorts on private islands, you can find nightly rates depending on the resort and the season.
03:34from approximately $500 per night to about $1,500 for a regular resort.
03:40However, there may be extra luxury resorts where you can spend $10,000 a night.
03:46I'd love to show you that one, but I haven't been there yet.
03:49At the resort where I recently stayed, called Nala Maldives,
03:53There, a night costs $850 in an overwater bungalow with a private pool and a small beach.
04:00everything you saw in my experience.
04:02And that same resort has beachfront villas, also with a pool, for about $450.
04:09Please note that all these prices may vary depending on the season.
04:12If you ask me which is the best season, based on my experience,
04:16I have come to the Maldives in February, March and April and I have found the best weather.
04:22precisely in April.
04:23During the year here they have two seasons, the dry season and the rainy season.
04:27The drought season begins at the end of November and ends at the beginning of April.
04:32And obviously we all travel to the Maldives in search of sunshine and a great climate.
04:37This luxury resort offers many advantages, because here you can swim in your swimsuit wherever you want.
04:43You have privacy, luxury, and incredible service.
04:48And you can also drink any kind of cocktails, any drinks you like.
04:53Unlike the local islands.
04:55If you ask me, I'd say that if you're going to plan your trip to the Maldives, you should plan at least two
05:00or three nights,
05:01You should stay in an overwater bungalow because the experience is amazing.
05:08Mmm! Super big and comfortable!
05:11And look how nice, they put up Welcome Miss Veronica.
05:14They always have so many details.
05:17Wow! Look at this beauty, my travelers!
05:20I can't believe such perfection.
05:23I want you to tell me right now what you think of this private little pool.
05:33But you must add the cost of transportation to this budget.
05:37To reach most of the private islands, you have to go by seaplane.
05:42This is one of the most fascinating experiences.
05:45One of the best flights you'll ever have.
05:48I recommend you do it with the airline Transmaldivian Airways.
05:52They depart from Malé, which is the capital of the Maldives.
05:55The entire service they offer is super VIP.
05:57First you are welcomed into a lounge, in a super nice area, where you can see all the planes take off and land.
06:05airplanes.
06:06And then you take your flight to your private island.
06:09The price of this, well, you have to add it to that budget, because it is a bit expensive.
06:14The price will depend on where your resort is located, how far that island is from the capital,
06:20from Malé.
06:21To give you an idea, the round-trip ticket, which took about 35 minutes to get to the island where I was
06:28Nala cost $500.
06:30But in the off-season and on closer islands, you can find it for as little as $250 round trip.
06:37Everyone here is quite relaxed, and the pilots' footwear is proof of that.
06:50I swear I feel like a little girl, I'm so excited, I can't believe the breathtaking views!
06:58we are having.
06:59We've been flying for about 20 minutes and there's been absolutely no turbulence.
07:10Now, if that seems like a lot to you, and you want to save that money on the plane, although I tell you it's worth it.
07:16Because that flight is incredible, you can see all the colors, it's majestic.
07:22But okay, let's say you're afraid of small planes and want to save money, well, you have an option to find
07:27a luxury resort on a private island near Malé, the capital, and thus offer you the option
07:33to take you by boat.
07:35Something else you need to take into account is that excursions and tours departing from private islands
07:41They are much more expensive, up to 5 times more expensive.
07:44Look, if you have the budget to do it and you tell me, look, I've dreamed about this my whole life
07:49Going to a private island is the trip of my dreams, and I'm going without limits, perfect.
07:54I recommend you stay approximately 5 nights in a bungalow, and dedicate 2 or 3 days to enjoying the resort.
08:02paradise and 2 days for you to take some great excursions.
08:14Now, if you want to explore the Maldives without spending so much money, wait until the end because I have some tips and tricks.
08:23For that.
08:23I think I didn't leave out any details about the private islands of the luxury resorts.
08:30So now we're going to a local island.
08:32There are so many options for local islands, and I'm going to give you some context because here
08:38Everything changes.
08:39It's the same paradise, the same spectacular beaches, but we have a different context.
08:44As I've mentioned in my previous videos, the predominant religion in the Maldives is Islam.
08:50That is, the majority of its population is Muslim.
08:54So on the local islands you can't swim in a swimsuit wherever you want.
08:58All the local islands have a bikini bike, which is the area where you can swim freely with your...
09:04swimsuit, enjoy.
09:15We've arrived at the beach, this is the bikini bike and wow, look at this beauty, a little beach all to yourself
09:24And for me.
09:25And look how spectacular that crystal-clear water is, and the coral sand means you have to be very careful in the sun because
09:34You get a tan much faster here.
09:37But that's exactly what I like about it, that it's surrounded by palm trees, by lots of bushes that you can get lost in.
09:42Go down in the shade to relax and also to rest from the sun.
09:47I truly feel this is the closest thing to paradise; I'd like you to tell me about it.
09:52But I came here to cool off a little because it's really hot, and while
09:58I have to be like this when I go in, because remember, the first time I saw a shark was right here.
10:05beach.
10:06Another difference is that, because you are Muslim, they do not allow you to drink any type of alcohol.
10:13You'll be able to find cocktails, beers, wine, but all alcohol-free.
10:18So if this is important to you, then it's something you have to take into account.
10:22I came to Plumeria's bar just because, well, there's a bar here where they make wine, champagne, and cocktails.
10:29whatever you want, with rum, with whiskey, and all without alcohol.
10:33That has surprised my travelers because, look, they have everything from non-alcoholic beer to, for example, rum that says
10:39alcohol-free, sugar-free.
10:41And look at this bottle, I would easily drink it if I didn't know it didn't have alcohol in it, and I would think
10:46My brain automatically starts to get tongue-tied, I get happy and they don't tell me I don't have it.
10:52And there's so much variety. I don't know whether to order a margarita, a shot of rum, or just drink this.
10:59little beer.
11:00Now, the really great things and why I recommend that you also add a visit to a
11:06local island.
11:07First, because from here the activities, excursions, and tours will be super, super cheap.
11:14I'm talking about tours you can find starting from $25.
11:18The food is also super delicious, the service is very good, and I recommend that you find the island.
11:25It has a very good location
11:27so that when you go on excursions, you'll get great prices.
11:31On my trips to the Maldives I've visited several local islands, but the one I recommend and the one I like the most
11:37Tinadú has been liked.
11:39On this local island there is a hotel called Plumeria Maldives, where you can find a room for $90 a night
11:47for two people with breakfast included, beachfront.
11:51I mean, that's wonderful. I've really come back here three times and I like it.
11:56First, because the service is super nice, the food is delicious, and as I mentioned, they offer so many things.
12:04excursions at a very good price.
12:07One of the things I enjoy most about staying here in Plumeria is going on different tours.
12:12and excursions
12:13because its location is perfect and everything is relatively close and they are all very, very cheap.
12:20So I'm going to take this boat to some snorkeling spots that are going to be the best.
12:25beautiful things you will see in your life.
12:26So join me in Hello, my friend.
12:33One two three.
12:37While snorkeling we encountered hundreds of fish, a completely vibrant coral reef,
12:43full of such intense colors that it seemed unreal.
12:45It's amazing to be able to see so closely how each species follows its own rhythm in perfect harmony.
12:52And as I dived under, there was a big turtle, then another, and then yet another.
12:57In the end, there were three turtles in the same place, my favorite animal, and I couldn't believe I was experiencing something incredible.
13:04So.
13:05When I felt I couldn't hold my breath anymore, it was one last effort just to stay a little longer, to
13:10admire them up close.
13:11One of them had her head inside a rock.
13:14I was eating, completely calm.
13:17I approached slowly, went down a few more meters and for a moment it was as if we were face to face.
13:26I've told you many times that the Maldives is perhaps my favorite country in the world for all
13:33What you experience in this place, because of all the magic it has.
13:36So I got excited, I got motivated to take my first trip with Vero to the Maldives.
13:43With you, my fellow travelers, a small group of about 20 people, so we can meet up somewhere and get together.
13:52Here together and live an incredible experience with excursions,
13:57where we explore the whole island, where we stay in bungalows, but also on local islands.
14:02So if you're interested in traveling with me, in having an amazing time, let me know in the comments below.
14:09Or you can also write to me via Instagram DM and I'll send you all the information.

14:32According to your tastes, according to your budget, what to choose.
14:35Now, if you ask me, I'd say the best, the very best option is to take about 7.
14:43This trip to the Maldives has a total of 8 days, which you can divide as follows.
14:49Two or three nights on a private island, in an overwater bungalow, and that way you can experience it, drive
14:55Take a bike ride along the pier and take all the photos and videos you've dreamed of.
15:01And then you go to a local island like this one, Tinadú, and stay at the Plumeria Hotel, where you'll...
15:07good service, beautiful beaches
15:10And from here, be your starting point for all your tours and excursions at a very good price.
15:16price.
15:23In conclusion, I can say that the Maldives is not an expensive destination; what's expensive is how you choose to travel.
