Maldives Vacations

The Maldives is a fantasy come true, with nothing but turquoise water, palm trees, and white sand beaches as far as the eye can see. If that sounds like your cup of tea, leave the planning to Orbitz by booking your flight and hotel together as a package, and start shopping for bathing suits.

Overwater bungalows in the Maldives

Overwater bungalows are a signature feature of the Maldives. Reethi Beach Resort sits on a tree-shaded islet, and its overwater villas are breezy havens for ocean lovers. Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort’s thatched-roof overwater villas are particularly charming, with peaked roofs and colorfully accented rooms.

Maldives all-inclusive resorts

All-inclusive resorts are a fantastic way to reduce hassle and maximize relaxation on your Maldives vacation. Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives is everything you could want from an island resort, with beach suites and water villas to choose from and all food, beverages (minibar, too!), and non-motorized water sports included. Lily Beach Resort & Spa has overwater units arcing across brilliant blue water, and a beach bar, beach cabanas, food, Wi-Fi, and even supervised kids’ activities are included.

What is the best time to visit the Maldives?

November to early April is the ideal time to escape to the Maldives for some serious sunbathing. Tropical rains are most common during late April to October.

What is the cheapest way to plan a trip to the Maldives?

Booking in the off season from April to October is the best way to find cheap vacations to the Maldives. Check out all-inclusive resorts or those with lots of amenities, so that once you’re there, you don’t have to worry about budget. Booking your flight and lodging together is also a great way to save time and money. Orbitz offers customizable vacation packages to the Maldives starting as low as $2,284.

Great views which was exceptional. The food was good but was not always hot. The toilets smelled in the room and there was building work taking place outside the hotel. That said, the people were lovely. Please also note there is no alcoholic drinks served on the atol and there is a separate beach for tourists and you must cover up as a female when going to the beach.

Absolutely fantastic stay- we were met at Male airport and looked after to our flight to Ifuru Island which is outstanding. All the staff looked after us with extreme courtesy and were extremely welcoming. Everywhere was very clean and cared for and the food very variable and to a high standard. Snorkelling was amazing we saw fish/stingrays/reef sharks/turtles/ resident heron. On our return we were met again at Male airport and looked after and helped to check in for our flight home. Cannot recommend this Island strongly enough ! ALL the staff were very dedicated and very hard working and so sorry can’t remember everyone’s names but very much felt a warm/friendly/family atmosphere. Shout out to: Monika, Tharaka, Sara, Diva, Donni, manager of waterfront(sorry don’t know name), Shiyaau, Basse, Pradeeb, Shiva, Raazan, Juli, Ahmed, Fraish (sorry if spelt wrong - captain of Komomo) thank you to everyone for a very special holiday

Our stay on this amazing island was truly unforgettable. The property was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable throughout our stay. The chef there even made and brought to us food that was only available in different restaurants at that time. Their kindness, attention to detail, and exceptional service made the experience even more special. The beach was breathtaking, and the communication with the resort was outstanding from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect island getaway.

lovely place to stay during our honeymoon, clean facilities, lovely staff and very tasty food. it’s just a shame we were charged the full fee for a floating breakfast that we didn’t get to experience due to the weather so had to eat inside our villa, with the same food from the buffet in our all inclusive plan. otherwise, all perfect.
