- The Maldives are an archipelago of islands in the Indian Ocean. The largest town is Malé, an excellent place to base yourself from which you can explore the rest of the archipelago. Here, the Sala Boutique Hotel will make for a good place to stay.
- The main airport serving the Maldives is Velana International Airport on Hulhumale. This island has a busy urban centre and leafy suburbs and promenades you can walk along with the Indian Ocean below. A great hotel to book here is Rivethi Beach Hotel, which will give you easy access to both within a mile.
- To experience the authentic non-tourist lifestyle of the islands, visit Maafushi, an off-beat getaway set among fishing jetties and old sailors' huts. It has wonderful private beaches, and the whole town has an old-world charm which you can experience by staying at Rosemary Boutique hotel. In the northern part of the Maldives, you will find Utheema. This island on the Haa Alif Atoll is known for its clear white sands and almost transparent sea waters. Utheema has many local heritage sites like Utheemu Ganduvaru, a place built from timber now over 500 years old, and the childhood home of Mohammed Thakurufaanu, a national hero.
- Sample traditional local seafood cuisine in the small town of Feydhoo, which still preserves some of the original dishes of the Maldives, particularly its seafood curries. Foodies may opt to stay at the Equator Village Hotel.
- For a completely unusual experience, take a day trip from Malé to the small private island of Niyama, where you’ll find the Subsix underwater bar and restaurant. Here you can dine 20 feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean whilst observing the marine life through the restaurant's glass walls.
- If you’re looking for a cheap hotel in the Maldives, you should consider visiting during the low season. You'll find cheaper accommodations in the Maldives in August and May.
