According to ABC News, the Maldives may no longer exist by the year 2050 due to rising sea levels and global warming! So if the Maldives is on your budget list, this may be the perfect time to book your flights and hotels. ❤🙏

OMG so glad I found this page. I want to go to the Maldives next year. If you look at social media it looks super expensive bc all you see are luxury resorts. I was surprised to find that the more modest hotels are actually super cheap in american dollars when I was searching for places to stay. This has me excited bc I will definitely be planning a 2 week trip next year!!!!!!!

With the Maldives trip will be my adult niece and myself haha Wish me luck!

Hey, great content really. I am traveling very soon, this will help a lot. Question, how did you take a shoots on luxury island inside the houses? Did you book over night or it was a visit only? If it was a visit only, do they allow to shoot video at the guest houses? Also, question for sharks tours, do they shoot video from dron or someone else needs to do it?

[@AngelicaandAileenWanders]

Hello 👋 We booked overnight in their overwater bungalow. Regarding the shark drone shots you have to take them. Just ask beforehand if it’s allowed but for underwater shots they will take them for you. Enjoy your trip! Thank you for watching! 💕 - Aileen

Hi Aileen and Angelica. Love your video on Maldives Budget Travel Guide. Nice and helpful content. Actually, my high school barkadas are planning a trip outside Philippines this year. Honestly, they are letting me choose since I am the one who travels lesser than my barkadas. Maldives has long been in my bucket list. And I think now is the time for me to go there. We are looking at planning our next trip in August. I know you mentioned in your video that the best time to go to Maldives is between November to April. But, may I know your thoughts on going to Maldives in August? Thanks!

[@AngelicaandAileenWanders]

Hello 👋 Thank youuu! Happy you liked our vlog! Regarding going there in August hmm it's still part of their rainy season but prices might be a little cheaper since it's off-season. If you don't mind some rain then go for it! Maldives is beautiful so just do some sun dance and pray for sunshine if ever haha I hope you will have a great trip wherever you choose to go. Thank you for watching! 💛 - Aileen

[@randylee2310]

Thanks Aileen 😊 I shared this video and the itinerary to my barkadas and they are considering Maldives 🤞. Btw, any suggestion where we can buy Maldivian Rufiyaa at a cheaper rate? Thanks!

[@AngelicaandAileenWanders]

Oh niiice! I hope you all push through with it. We brought some peso/usd and exchanged in money changers there since we couldn’t find any in the PH. You can also withdraw in their atms. I hope this helps 😊 - Aileen

[@randylee2310]

@@AngelicaandAileenWanders Thanks Aileen!

[@aury7382]

Never go again in August. All the years was okay but this year horrable storm there so I stuck many days in Hulhumale waiting for better weather and after 19.8. it is perfect now.Prices was so high than in January and all resorts full booked.Stay in Bandos in the Premier Beach Villa for 250 Dollars per night later

I am still searching for the price and couldn't found one. it's over 650 USD per night without transfer
