About this Maldives trip
Twelve hundred coral islands scattered across turquoise atolls — the Maldives is the purest version of a beach holiday, and only about two hours' flying from India. You will stay on a private island resort reached by speedboat from Malé, split between a beach villa and an overwater villa, on a full-board meal plan. Days go on snorkelling with turtles on the house reef, a sandbank picnic and a sunset dolphin cruise, with nothing more urgent than choosing between the spa and the infinity pool.
Overwater villas, glass-clear lagoons and reef snorkelling straight off your deck.

Frequently asked questions
Do Indians need a visa for the Maldives?
No advance visa is needed. Indian passport holders get a free 30-day visa on arrival with a confirmed resort booking, return ticket and enough funds. Fill the IMUGA traveller declaration online within 96 hours before arrival.
Is food included?
Yes, this package is full board — breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most resorts serve Indian dishes, and vegetarian and Jain meals can be requested in advance.
Can non-swimmers enjoy the Maldives?
Absolutely. Life jackets are provided for snorkelling, the lagoons are shallow and calm, and the sandbank and dolphin cruise need no swimming.
Is the Maldives suitable for children?
Yes, but overwater villas have open decks — we recommend keeping families with small children in beach villas throughout.
Can I drink alcohol in the Maldives?
Alcohol is served only at resorts and liveaboards, not on local islands. Drinks are charged separately on this plan.
