After spending a month in the Maldives we've learned a thing or 2 or 3 😁
We will tell you all you need to know about choosing the best resort when coming to the Maldives. From Airport tips, seaplane explained, Resort cost and packages, and what resorts don't want you to know.

The most informative video I've seen on the Maldives. Thank you so much!

One possible issue with the speedboat, while rare, it can be too rough for the speedboat to go out. Often when it is too rough, it can last for a couple of days. Our trip about six weeks ago, for 3 days we couldn't get to the island of Omadhoo which is located in South Ari by boat. I'd imagine in addition to seaplanes giving resort kickbacks, the resorts don't want you showing up sour demanding to be refunded for the missed nights. The other thing that one needs to figure out at these resorts is food and activities. So many will skip the full board are shocked how expensive al la carte really was and the same for the activities. Usually, resort websites will list the full board pricing and maybe the activities but if they don't, you can email them and usually they'll send you a list including al la carte menus

Glad you mentioned the sharks swim away, I was thinking it might not be an enjoyable swim in the ocean having them all around. Thank you for giving us as much information, you guys are awesome! Maldives is definitely in my bucket list

Your videos helped me decide for LUX* South Ari Atoll.I am surprising my husby with a trip for his birthday in April 2025. It is still some time to go but I already booked 2 different types of rooms: 3 nights in a Beach Villa and 4 nights in a Romantic Over Water Villa with pool (just like the one you guys stayed at). And because I booked in advance, I can also save some money till the trip, LUX* charges a 30% deposit and the balance can be paid till 30 days prior to your arrival. Yes, The Maldives are expensive if you want to experience the whole Over Water+All Inclusive + Romantic Candle Light Dinner at the Beach thing. But I am sure it will be every penny worth it! And for birthday celebrations, they also offer complementary cake and you can CHOOSE what cake you want! Just say it and they will make it happen ❤

Loving your Maldives content thank you! Are you shooting with a GoPro for your face to camera content or something else?

[charliekline]

If you pay extra for all inclusive, once you’re on the resort you don’t have to pay extra money for food and alcohol right?

❤beautiful place, Thank you for let me know, we plan to go there next year for honeymoon ❤❤, We haven't decided on a resort yet.

Things I don't like about the private islands apart from the sky high cost

1. The forced early checkouts. Your checkout might be 12pm but they'll wake you up at 6am because their stupidBoat leaves early

2. Assigned seats. Restaurants have seats assigned so you can't just sit anywhere you like

3. Designated swim areas. Some resorts don't like it if you swim anywhere and they'll ask you to gtfo to the lagoon

4. Being very very greedy wrt basic stuff like charging 6dollars for bottle of water

5. All inclusive is not all inclusive because of greed. Full board doesn't include water like wtf!

What's funny is a local island will not have your hotel impose any of these restrictions

Thanks for making this detailed and informative video! How do you check which resorts allow you to arrive on your own private speedboat transfer? I feel like if I email the resorts to ask whether I can arrange my own transfer, they will definitely say no.

[dilshanperera]

Thanks this will be really helpful I'm planning to go honeymoon next month❤

Love your videos! Thank you. I'm curious... if you noticed seaweeds in any of the atolls? Thanks.
