Individual Maldives vacations shaped around your passions

A snorkeling tour of reefs with marine biologists. Swimming in balmy, turquoise lagoons. Getting a massage at an underwater spa… On a tailor-made vacation to the Maldives with Audley, you’ll see the highlights  — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Maldives specialists know the islands inside out and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook.

Enjoy traditional Boduberu folk music and dancing. Eat breakfast on a stark white sandbar, in the midst of calm, vibrant blue waters. Dine on board a luxury dhoni. Help with coral conservation. Relax in an infinity pool. Try waterskiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing or parasailing in the year-round warm waters. Snorkel with a chance to see sea turtles, sharks and manta rays. Recover your inner calm with yoga sessions in a pavilion surrounded by turquoise waters.

Glimmering waters. Swaying palm trees. Endless opportunities to observe dolphins, sharks and rays. What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go.

Useful information for planning your vacation in the Maldives

The official language of the Maldives is Maldivian Divehi, a dialect of Sinhala (spoken by most Sri Lankans), with script derived from Arabic. English is spoken in most hotels and visitor hubs and by officials.

The currency of the Maldives is the rufiyaa (Rf), however, euros and US dollars are also widely accepted. All major credit cards can be used at resorts, in restaurants and shops in Malé, and on several other islands. There’s an ATM in the airport if you’d like to withdraw rufiyaa but there’s normally a 5% charge. The rufiyaa is a closed currency, so you’ll need to change back any local cash before leaving as you’ll be unable to do so elsewhere.

In the Maldives you should try freshly caught fish and seafood, the local staple. Typically served with rice or roshi (flatbread), you’ll find fish in everything from breakfast dishes such as mas huni (smoked tuna with onion, chilli, and coconut) to street snacks such as baija (pastry stuffed with fish, onions, and coconut).

Most Maldivian dishes have Asian and Arabic influences, but you’ll find Asian and European food on most resort menus. Government and service taxes of 10% and 12% are also added to all costs locally.

Where a service charge isn’t already included, a 10% tip is expected in Maldivian restaurants. Some resorts automatically add 10% to bills for additional services.

Light, airy summer clothing is ideal in the Maldives where the strong sun means you’ll also need a hat and sunglasses. While beachwear is fine by the pool or on the beach, topless and nude sunbathing is prohibited. The Maldives is an Islamic country, and you should dress modestly in towns and villages and cover your shoulders and knees. Although you shouldn't touch corals, plastic shoes are a good precaution against cuts from sharp pieces of coral.

For the latest travel advice for the Maldives, including entry requirements, health information, and the safety and security situation, please refer to the State Department website .

Powdery soft sands, crystalline waters, excellent snorkeling and diving, and resorts that offer unashamed luxury are what the Maldives are all about. Whether you want to spend your day by the pool or in the spa, would prefer to dive over coral reefs or on shipwrecks, kayak through shoals of kaleidoscopic fish, or feast on the finest of foods, we’ll find the right place for you.

You could also try your hand at big-game fishing, take a boat trip with a marine biologist, or take underwater photography lessons. Most of all though, the Maldives offer indulgent moments all to yourself such as private dining on an isolated sandbank, a wine tasting where baby reef sharks swim about your knees, or a private breakfast on a piano deck surrounded by turquoise water.

In the Maldives, you can stay in resorts with overwater bungalows, private villas, or rustic cottages. Choosing the right place to stay in the Maldives is crucial as your resort island is the focus of your trip.

To help narrow things down, we’ve hand-picked some of the best places to stay and will help you decide which island is right for you whether romance, water sports, or wellness is your priority. For some more ideas, browse our collection of places to stay in the Maldives .

Choosing where to go in the Maldives can be tricky, but with around 100 different resorts you’ll easily find somewhere to suit you whether you’re on honeymoon, in search of total relaxation, or hoping to snorkel with manta rays and sharks. Speak to your specialist about your interests and together you’ll find the ideal destination for your trip.

It takes around 18 hours to fly from the East Coast of the US to the Maldives, and around 23 hours from the West Coast.

The time zone in the Maldives is UTC+5. Daylight Savings Time isn’t observed.

One of the joys of a trip to the Maldives is that there’s no need to go anywhere. Each island is its own all-inclusive destination with hotel, restaurants, water sports, and blissful white sands. You’ll arrive at the international airport in Malé and travel by seaplane or speedboat to your resort from there.

US citizens will be issued with a tourist visa valid for 30 days on arrival in the Maldives providing you can show evidence of an onward or return flight. 

Check that your passport is valid for six months beyond your date of departure from the Maldives and has one unstamped double page free.

Your doctor can provide you with immunization advice for the Maldives. You can also check the suggested vaccinations on the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website and you should ensure you’re up to date with the recommended vaccinations at home.

Superb Service!

We are an Italian couple, our first visit to Maldives, and were really pleased to let NEOSCAPES MALDIVES arranged our stay at Anantara Kihavah resort. They are FAST. After less than 1 hour from my 1st request, I got a phone call (not a simple e-mail: a REAL voice was speaking to me!) and in just 1 day we had all of our questions replied. They provide GOOD OFFERS, comparable with other agencies, but with uncomparably better service. What we exactly needed. - Maria and Gustavo, Italy

Best resort I have been in Maldives

I took the entire family of 7 to the Maldives. We stayed 5 nights at Ozen at Maadhoo and booked through Neoscapes Maldives. We had no regrets using Neoscapes, their experienced travel experts tailor made our itinerary to suit our requirements. Pre travel, all queries were promptly answered. Our trip was hassle free and their guides were at hand to meet us at the airport. We hope to return in the not too distant future. - Yong Ee Leen, Singapore

Awesome Holidays

Thanks for your hard work, it was amazing, we highly recommended this hotel (Olhuveli Beach & Spa) with Grand Beach Villa with Pool for families or honeymooners. Just perfect! The taste of the food could have been better, but the staff was very helpful and friendly. That's all the feedback for improvement, rest of the things was so nice. We will definitely come back! - Alexandra, Hungary

Fabulous company!

We took 10 nights stay at Jumeirah Vittaveli with them and couldn't have been happier. While planning the trip, they were very responsive to our questions and requests. We enjoyed our stay and I was incredibly pleased. Definite recommend! - Abd al Jabbar, UAE

Highly Recommended

My husband and I were trying to plan a trip to the Maldives this year - but we quickly became overwhelmed with the number of resorts available. We stumbled upon Neoscapes Maldives- Travel Agents - based in the Maldives. Neoscapes was fantastic from beginning to end. I highly recommend using them for any trip to the Maldives!! - Rebecca, Sweden

Reliable company with passionate staffs

I used this company 3 times. One time for my own family trip and the other times for my parents and sister who traveled to Maldives on their own. Quick and easy communication. They are reliable and took care of everything. Very convenient when you are travelling with children, perfectly arranged and their welcome service at the airport was first class. Fantastic vacation ! - Matthew Graham, UK

Service with a smile =)

My husband and I booked our honeymoon through Neoscapes, and from the moment we arrived in Male to the moment we left, they made sure everything was perfect. It was also so easy for me to book through them - all communication was via email and they responded very quickly to any queries we had. Additionally, they ensured that we got the best possible price for our holiday. I can absolutely recommend Neoscapes to make your holiday run smooth. - Jia Hao, Malaysia

Just Amazing!

Our honeymoon was perfect.... we had the best trip ever. While we were planning for our honeymoon, we find Neoscapes website and we contact them and we were surprised by their services and how they manage everything... and they helped us to select package which is fit to our budget... they sent us photos of everything with quotations which helped us in selecting the best for us. - Rohan Patel, India

Incredibly knowledgeable and so patient

The Maldives is bewildering because there are so many resorts that are incredible. After going round in round in circles, reading so many reviews and still not being able to decide where to go, I contacted Neoscapes. Good decision. I was so pleased with my holiday, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The Maldives is a long way from Australia and I was anxious for the holiday to be perfect and it was.The assistance at the airport was great too, very comforting when you arrive off a long flight in a new country with very tired children.All in all, fantastic service and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to visit the Maldives. - Amy, Australia

13 things to know before going to the Maldives

Feb 8, 2024 • 5 min read

Be ready for your visit to the Maldives with this guide to planning and etiquette © Jannoon028 / Getty Images

Paradise personified. Heaven on earth. Screensaver goals. The Maldives has earned a lot of monikers since it opened to tourists in the 1970s.

Over the past 50 years, it’s become known as a honeymoon hot spot, a family-friendly getaway and one of the world’s most coveted vacation destinations.

And while it may seem like a lot of hype for one small, spread-out island nation in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives really does live up to it. From coconut-fringed islands and colorful reefs to warm smiles and even warmer curries, it’s often a once-in-a-lifetime getaway for travelers. Whether you’re heading off to a ritzy private island resort or a more affordable local island, there’s a handful of things to know before departure. Here are our top tips and best advice ahead of a trip to the Maldives.

1. Plan for at least 5 nights in the Maldives

For all travelers, it takes a plane ride or three to land in this far-flung slice of paradise. So, while a weekend to the Maldives may work for travelers based in Asia, five nights will suffice if you’re crunched for time and budget. And if neither is an issue, plan for at least a week to fully unwind and embrace island life.

2. You can get around via seaplane or speedboat

When choosing your island resort, pay attention to whether it’s reachable by seaplane or speedboat. Although seaplane transfers give picture-worthy views of the pearl-shaped atolls, they often cost much more. And be aware there’s a 25kg (55lbs) total luggage per person allowance on seaplanes. So, if you’re looking to save money, pick a resort closer to Male that you can transfer to via speedboat. You can also take a domestic flight to another atoll in the Maldives and a speedboat to the resort.

3. Island-hopping is doable (and encouraged)

Many travelers spend weeks poring over which private island resort is the best for them, but you don’t have to choose one. Beach bums can split their time between resorts. You’ll need to travel back to Male airport, where a representative from your next resort will meet you and transfer you there via seaplane or speedboat. If the resorts are close together, you can charter a speedboat from one resort to another.

4. Aim to land in Male in the morning

If you’re staying at a resort accessible by seaplane transfer, arriving in the morning is crucial. Once the sun sets, seaplanes stop flying, so you’d need to stay overnight in Male or Hulhumale to wait for the next seaplane. If your resort is accessible via a speedboat or water taxi, arriving at night is less of an issue, but the Maldives scenery is so stunning you’ll want to be able to see it.

5. Understand “island time”

These tiny private islands operate by their own rules, including their own time zones. Some resorts will ask guests to set their clocks to “island time,” an hour forward to give them an extra hour of sunlight for snorkeling or swimming .

6. Stock up well (there are no grocery stores for tourists)

There are no grocery stores or Walmarts on these tiny private islands. So, triple-check that you’ve got everything you need, including reef-safe sunscreen to help protect one of the Maldives’ most precious natural habitats. Every resort has a boutique store where you can pick up necessities you may have forgotten, but prices are often insanely expensive.

7. Familiarize yourself with the prohibited items list

The Maldives is a devout Muslim country with strict rules. So travelers entering cannot bring alcohol, pornographic materials, pork products or idols of worship  among other things . If anything prohibited is found, it will be taken away on arrival.

8. Local islands are a bargain but come with caveats

The local islands are a great and safe option for travelers on a budget and those not willing to shell out thousands for an island getaway. Small Maldivian-run guesthouses offer a much more intimate look at daily life, but there are a few things to know first. Alcohol is illegal on local islands, so don’t expect to enjoy a beer by the beach. Travelers must also dress conservatively on local islands by covering their shoulders and knees. Women don’t need to cover their heads, but wearing a bathing suit outside of designated “bikini beaches” is not allowed and could land you with a fine.

9. There’s no standard tipping etiquette

Tipping on top of your restaurant bill at the resort is not expected because a 10% tip is already included. However, if you want to leave something for your favorite server at the end of your stay that is more than OK. Guests can also write a review calling out their favorite team members; management often rewards staff for stellar service. Leaving a tip ranging from US$2 to US$10 per day for housekeeping is also customary. And if you have a butler, tipping 10% of the cost of your stay is a good rule.

10. You can pay in USD

The local currency is the Maldivian rufiya, but US dollars are also accepted. You can get some local currency from the ATM at the airport on arrival. If you want to exchange money for rufiya, you can do so in the airport at the Bank of Maldives Foreign Exchange. Keep your receipt with you so you can change anything extra back into your local currency when you leave.

11. Resort doctors can help with health concerns

The vast majority of travelers will go straight from the plane to a private island resort. Should you have any health issues during your stay, the on-island doctor will be able to assist you.

12. There is a “green tax” for tourists

Every tourist is charged a government tax to stay in a hotel, liveaboard or guesthouse. The tax is US$6 per day unless you’re staying in a guesthouse on a local island with 50 or fewer registered rooms, then the tax is US$3 per day. The charge will be included in your overall bill.

13. Sustainability initiatives are everywhere 

As the world’s lowest-lying country, the Maldives is under serious threat from climate change. Nearly every resort has sustainability initiatives, which might include coral regeneration, onsite gardens, turtle rehabilitation and/or unique mosquito trapping methods instead of chemical spraying. A few of the more sustainable resorts to choose from are Soneva , Six Senses , Four Seasons , Kudadoo and Gili Lankanfushi . Beware of greenwashing , where organizations claim sustainability credentials that aren't as impactful as they suggest.

Travel guide to the Maldives

Glamorous overwater resorts , pristine white-sand beaches , and a spectacular underwater world make the Maldives the ultimate travel destination for the discerning traveler. The sovereign archipelagic nation – positioned in the Indian Ocean southwest of India – consists of 26 breathtaking atolls boasting rich cultural traditions and natural treasures. All 1192 coral islands and sandbanks (200 inhabited islands, plus 100 islands with tourist resorts) are the visible coral tips of an oceanic volcanic mountain range whose outer edge at some points plunge to depths of over 3 km (10,000 ft). The tiny islands are encircled by magnificent beaches and incredibly beautiful lagoons, blessed with crystal clear waters and protected by reef structures. Every resort in the Maldives is built on its own private, picture-perfect palm island, with the world’s most exclusive hotel brands  competing with each other to offer their guests unprecedented levels of mind-blowing luxury. A holiday in the Maldives can be easily combined with a stay in Sri Lanka  as there are numerous direct flights – most of them operated by  SriLankan Airlines  – between Sri Lanka and the Maldives (with a flight time of around one hour).

BEST TIME TO VISIT

The Maldives enjoys a tropical climate, hot all year round, with a weather pattern that is mainly determined by two monsoon seasons in which the trade winds blow from opposite directions.

• The best weather in the Maldives is between January and mid-April, when the dry northeast monsoon prevails. You can expect blue skies and low humidity, although occasional, short showers can still occur (especially in the southern atolls). The dry season also coincides with the northern hemisphere’s cold winter season, which means this is high season in the Maldives, with low availability (although it never gets crowded) and often insanely expensive room rates at the resorts.
• The wet southwest monsoon runs from May to October, peaking in June. Although the temperatures remain as warm as in the dry season, rainy days and thunderstorms are far more likely. There may be days, or periods of a few days, when the sky is cloudy. However, even during this period, there are usually long periods of bright sunshine, and more affordable room rates mean this is still a good time to visit.
• The transition periods  between the dry northeast and the wet southwest monsoon usually occurs sometime in late November or December and the end of April or May. These transition periods are often accompanied by a longer period of unsettled weather and overcast, rainy days.

It has to be noted that the tropical climate in the Maldives and the exact timing of the transition periods have become very much unpredictable in recent years, with the wet season becoming drier and the dry season seeing more showers. Also, there a subtle differences in the weather patterns from atoll to atoll, since the Maldives is a very large country, stretching out over 800 km (500 mi) in the equatorial area. The northern atolls – which are home to the archipelago’s most luxurious resorts – enjoy more sunshine and have lesser annual rainfall than the central atolls (where the capital Male is located) and the atolls located south of the Equator. This geographic difference is mainly due to the fact that the dry season is more pronounced in the northernmost atolls.

Some travelers visit the Maldives, not so much for the beaches and resorts, but for the world-class diving and the opportunity of swimming with manta rays and whale sharks. Diving conditions are superb throughout the year, but the areas frequented by the larger marine animals vary with the seasons. During the dry northeast monsoon season, manta ray and whale shark diving in the Maldives is best on the western side of the atolls, whereas during the Southeast Monsoon season, manta rays and whale sharks will typically be encountered near the eastern edge of the atolls.

IMHO, it is worth paying higher prices and sticking to the dry season in the Maldives (January to mid-April) as there is not much to do on a rainy day, except drink, eat, work out, or scuba dive.

HOW TO GET THERE

The majority of the Maldives’ secluded resorts on far-flung private islands are within a one hour boat or floatplane ride from the Maldives’ main airport, Male International Airport (MLE; also known as Velana International Airport ), which is located in the North Male Atoll near the capital of Male. The airport is served by a wide array of international Asian and European airlines, both charters and mainstream carriers. Click  here for a list of airlines that offer direct flights to Male International Airport.

GETTING AROUND

Transfers from Male airport to the hotels are taken care of by the resorts:

• Hotels located in the North and South Male Atoll are reached by speedboat from the airport, with a transfer time between 15 minutes and one hour. Due to their proximity to the airport, these resorts experience more boat traffic and noise levels as compared the more remotely located resorts in other atolls. Boat transfers run 24 hours a day.
• Hotels located in all other central atolls (except the Laamu Atoll) as well as the northernmost atolls can be reached by seaplane from the airport, with a flight time between 20 minutes and one hour. Admiring the picture-perfect archipelago from a bird’s eye perspective is one of the  ultimate experiences that the destination has to offer . However, keep in mind that seaplanes operate during daylight hours only, so you may have to stay overnight near the airport when you arrive in the Maldives after 4 pm. In addition, getting to a resort in a remote atoll by seaplane does take more time as compared to reaching one of the hotels closer to the airport, because of additional waiting time at the airport. On a positive note, most five-star hotels offer a private lounge near the airport to ease the waiting process which seldom exceeds two hours.
• Hotels located in the Laamu Atoll and all southern atolls are reached by a domestic flight , operated by a turboprop plane, followed by a speedboat transfer. Getting to these resort requires an often lengthy and tiring trip, something you may not be looking forward to after your long-haul flight arrives in the Maldives. Besides the 30 to 60 minute domestic flight, you also have to take into account waiting time – varying from one to maximum five hours – at Male airport, both at the start and the end of your journey. All in all, it means that getting to these resorts may take a large chunk of your holiday time on the day of your arrival and departure, making the southern atolls not ideal for a short trip. I suggest you stay at least 5 nights here to make the most of the long journey getting there. The good news is that once there, you will completely relax in otherworldly tropical scenery.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

Requirements for entry into the Maldives differ from country to country, and are subject to change. Prior to departure, always check with your government and your nearest Maldivian embassy or consulate what documents you need for travel to the Maldives.

• You need a valid  passport . The passport should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of entry into the Maldives.
• The Maldives have a remarkably easy visa policy: everybody gets a free 30-day visa on arrival, provided that you have a valid travel document, a ticket out and proof of sufficient funds, defined as a confirmed reservation in a hotel.

SUGGESTED ITINERARIES 

Most people who travel to the Maldives stay at one resort for one week. I don’t recommend to travel around too much within the Maldives, since getting from one resort to another is an expensive and often time-consuming affair (since you mostly have to backtrack via Male airport).

However, if the prospect of staying an entire week at one resort on a little island sounds too much for you, there are a few resorts that can be easily combined in one and the same itinerary, because they are either located in the same atoll or connected via a direct and private (and often pricey) speedboat transfer. A few examples:

• Noonu Atoll: Soneva Jani , Cheval Blanc Randheli , and Velaa Private Island
• Baa Atoll (a UNESCOBiosphere Reserve): Soneva Fushi , Four Seasons Landaa Giravaaru , and Anantara Kihavah
• Raa Atoll:  JOALI Maldives , JOALI BEING , Alila Kothaifaru Maldives , and InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort
• North Male Atoll: One&Only Reethi Rah , Patina Maldives , The Ritz-Carlton Fari Islands , Four Seasons Kuda Huraa , and Gili Lankanfushi
• South Male Atoll: Taj Exotica Resort & Spa , Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi , Naladhu and COMO Cocoa Island
• Huvadhu Atoll: Park Hyatt Hadahaa and Raffles Maldives Meradhoo Resort

In addition, a select group of ultra-luxe hotel companies operates more than one resort in the archipelago, offering an enhanced and more convenient transfer experience between their properties. A few examples:

• Soneva: Soneva Fushi  and  Soneva Jani  (60 min speedboat transfer between both resorts)
• Four Seasons:  Four Seasons Landaa Giravaaru  and  Four Seasons Kuda Huraa  (40 min watertaxi transfer)
• COMO hotels & resorts:  COMO Cocoa Island  and COMO Maalifushi  (45 min watertaxi transfer)
• JOALI:  JOALI Maldives and JOALI BEING (25 min speedboat transfer)

Yes! Finally something about cialis interactions.

Hello, I am from New Hampshire and would be flying out of MHT or Boston Logan to start my journey (alone)..which comes to my next question. I would like to stay in a Villa on the island in the Maldives, the smallest one available. What would I be looking at for cost to fly round trip with all transfers, food, all inclusive, by myself, for one week? Thank you for your time and thoughts in advance.

Nice blog author. Thank you. Keep it up.

This is a great site. We’ve been watching your YouTube channel for a while now and our normal Caribbean trip is likely to be replaced by a Maldives stay. Advice is always appreciated. Our budget is reasonable but not unlimited.

Maldives Cruise: Indian Ocean Dhoni Life

Really enjoyed it! Good boat, good food, great snorkelling and also the CEO helped me so I could do a dive instead of snorkelling one of the days which I really appreciate. Could skip the beach clean up, not that its not needed but after collecting several of bags with trash the bags where just left on the island. Just left us all with a bad feeling, first of all seeing all the trash and then collecting as much as we could, was so much left though, just to leave it on the island in the end 🤷‍♀️. BUT the tour was great!

Quite an amazing adventure on Maldives made possible with care of the ecosystems and support to the Maldivian people. My guide, Archie/Muhamed was the best guide anyone could ever have in seeing and enjoying the beauty of Maldives. His connections with Maldivian people made my trip comfortable, convenient and an adventure to treasure. Would love to do it again with my family! Thank you so much Archie and Ruth!!

Maldives: 1 week tour! Maafushi + Fulidhoo + Island Hopping

Wir hatten eine abwechslungsreiche aktive Woche, genau das wollten wir, hat uns sehr gefallen und wäre grundsätzlich auch 5 Sterne wert. Einziges Ärgernis: die genannten ca.-Preise der optionalen Ausflüge in unserem 'travel package' basieren auf einer Mindestgruppengröße (auf kleinen Insels oft schwer zu erreichen), sonst wird's entsprechend teurer, das sollte der Tourist im Vorfeld wissen und sich darauf einstellen können. Wir mussten jedenfalls deutlich mehr zahlen, deshalb ein Stern Abzug.

Maldives Tries to Win Back Indian Tourists As Arrivals Fall 40%

Peden Doma Bhutia , Skift

April 16th, 2024 at 9:11 AM EDT

While Maldives enjoys record-breaking arrivals, its tourism companies aren't about to let the Indian market keep falling. They're on a mission to reverse the trend.

Peden Doma Bhutia

The Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators is determined to increase Indian arrivals to the island destination and is taking steps to achieve this.

“Indian arrivals to the Maldives have gone down by almost 40%,” said Abdulla Ghiyas, the association’s president, in an exclusive interview with Skift.

In early January, #BoycottMaldives started trending in Indian social media following a diplomatic dispute between the two countries. Indians accused Maldivian politicians of making disparaging remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

As a result, India, which was the number 2 source market for Maldives, has now fallen to number 6 . India’s share of visitors had been almost 11% – it has shrunk to 5.6%.

Promotions in Indian Cities

Ghiyas said the association will be hosting roadshows in 3 Indian cities in July and confirmed to Skift that one of the cities would be Bengaluru.

The association also plans to engage with Indian social media influencers. “We also want to see how we can work with the tourism board in Maldives as we have partnered with them in the past as well. There are talks that the tourism board is also planning of doing something in India,” Ghiyas said.

At the July roadshows, he said he’s keen to look at cities that have direct connectivity with Maldives.

Ghiyas expressed a desire to have conducted the roadshow earlier, noting that May is when Indian outbound travel peaks. However, he mentioned plans for another round of roadshows towards the end of the year, aiming to include Tier 2 cities. “Even if they lack direct flights to the Maldives, these cities would represent an important market for us,” he said.

Maldives has so far received (from January 1-April 15) 693,867 tourists, up from 606,395 arrivals for the same period last year, as per the latest data from the Maldives tourism ministry.

China is the top source market for the island destination, followed by UK and Russia.

Between January 1-April 15, almost 39,000 Indians visited Maldives, a decline of almost 40%, compared to the 64,250 arrivals for the same period last year.

“We might not talk immediately about the growth scenario, but I would definitely like to see the 40% decline narrow down,” Ghiyas said.

Can’t Ignore India

While Maldives has experienced record-breaking tourism arrivals so far, Ghiyas said it still needs India. “There are properties and resorts that rely heavily on the Indian market, which have been severely affected. This will hurt us in the long term and that is why we have decided to engage with the India market.”

Aminath Suzan, CEO of Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators, pointed to cultural ties, such as similarities in food, language, and pop culture. “We must ensure that unrelated matters do not negatively impact the bond, for which we have dedicated years and built this alliance.”

The association members also recently met with Munu Mahawar, the Indian high commissioner in Maldives, to collaborate closely with his office to boost tourism initiatives.

Dubbing the meeting with Mahawar “positive,” Ghiyas said the high commission has offered assistance to the association. “Once we have a concrete plan, we will definitely follow up with the High Commission and share our plans.”
