[@uming2k]

Amazing tips, given in a very systematic way, and so helpful! Thank you so much! I am looking at booking something for my 50th Birthday in March. 😃 This really helps!

[@TroyParry74]

From Singapore, it’s cheapest and quickest to book an early morning flight to Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and then into Maldives. You can get there before hotel check in! I booked separate one-way tickets which was half the price of a direct flight, with a 2 hour gap between flights.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Thanks for your comment!! I love that tip!! A morning flight is the BEST way to maximize your time at the hotel in the maldives for SURE! Love that one way tickets too- in case you decide to stay longer, it's easier to change too ;)

[@MrSundewAnnolva]

Thought this is really a great informational video, many thanks to both of you!

[@VoyagerGuru]

Thanks so much, so glad you found it useful!

[@cjack202003]

To maximize my stay, I'm going to do at least 6 nights: 3 in beach villa and 3 in water villa. This gives me the chance to experience both sides on the property. It's also cheaper too. The beach villas are usually cheaper and can be booked with points. Going to do this for each property I go to. Unless, I don't like the beach villas for a particular propery, then I will do the full 6 nights in a water villa or vica versa.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Love that idea!! It’s a great way to experience both without totally breaking the bank. Great advice!

[@brothersman524]

This is a very informative video of The Maldives. I have been to the Maldives 5 times and agreed with your points. In addition to what you said, some water villas in one resort will be cheaper than beach villas in another resort. The best weather is in February and March which is the high season but you can still get great deals in these months. Being a Muslim country, no alcohol and pork when you arrive at Male Airport. For people from the UK like I am, stopover either at Doha, Dubai, Istanbul or Abu Dhabi from London Heathrow, Birmingham or Manchester

[@VoyagerGuru]

Thank you so much for your comment and for the great information!!! This is super helpful, particularly for the UK folks looking for the best routes :). We're headed to the Maldives in September so stay tuned for more fun content!

[@brothersman524]

@@VoyagerGuru In addition to that, the airport is on a separate island to Male city. I have booked my hotels either on Trivago, Booking,com and most times on Expedia. September is the wet season but it is cheaper and normally you would get enough sun. One thing that is advisable is getting some sun cream because the sun is strong there. I agree about Mozzie Sprays - I do urge UK travellers to purchase Jungle Formula one from Boots the Chemist - I've never been bitten once using this mozzie spray travelling to many tropical/sub tropical countries. Maldives is a conservative Muslim country for sure (I'm a Muslim born and bred in England) so in the past I have offered advice to Muslim travellers regarding Maldives from my own experiences there. Hope that helps.

Impressive content! Your hotel reviews truly stand out to me. I appreciate how you provide detailed "reviews" rather than simply sharing videos or pictures of the resort. I'm curious to find out whether certain atolls have seaweed while others do not. If this holds true, could you please share information about which atolls are free from seaweed? Much thanks.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey! Thank you so much ❤️❤️ that’s so nice of you to say. In terms of seaweed, that’s not really a big issue in the Maldives in general. There are resorts here and there that have sea grass growing on the sea floor like Lux South Ari, but even at lux, that’s only in one area of the island and not the majority so ultimately there’s not really a lot anywhere. seaweed doesn’t wash up on shore too much either. I hope this helps!!

[@deannaholt2851]

Funny story - - I was looking up Qatar Qsuites and you guys popped up, so I watched. Then I start looking for vids about SAii Lagoon Maldives - - and there you guys are AGAIN - and I was like - HEY! It's the honeymoon couple!! They went to the resort I wanna go to!! 😆 (Turns out you went to more than a few of them. 😉Anyway, really enjoy your vids, they're very comprehensive and well put together and I really appreciate all the work you put in to them. I noticed another commenter mentioned talking about fams more - - which is ironic - - because I came on to ask if you could include us solo travelers as well. Not sure if either of you have traveled solo or not but don't forget about us. We're out here and HEADIN' TO THE MALDIVES. (Even tho I'm solo gal and you two are a couple - - I still like and subscribed because we have the same taste in travel destinations!! So cool! Happy travels and thanks again! 🙂

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi Deanna! Thank you so much for your comment! Also LOL!! that's hilarious- I'm so glad you found us and said hi!!! Maldives is an amazing solo travel destination if you are looking for a wonderful, relaxing vacation in a super safe environment :). I will definitely keep solo travelers in mind from now on and make sure we consider which hotels are better for certain guest - if you ever have any questions or need any advice, let me know!! By the way, if you're looking at SAii, take a look at hard rock too- I love their balconies more than SAii and it's a super cool vibe at the hotel with lots of activities, things to do all day and you can still access the SAii amenities and marina

[@deannaholt2851]

​@@VoyagerGuru Thanks for the advice and offer to help! 😃Which place would you recommend for someone looking for peace and quiet, a gorgeous beach with clear water, eclectic beach villa with privacy and a great view, and good food? I typically spend the entire day on a beach lounge/swimming/walking along the beach. In the evening I love a place where I can work on my laptop with a breeze and the sound of the ocean. LOVE a great balcony or patio with a view! I'm not looking for activities or entertainment, but I would like a property that is large enough to walk around and explore a bit. I'm also looking for a place that includes an easy transfer from Male since I'll be on my own. Do you think SAii is a good fit or can you recommend another resort...? 🙂🙏🏻

[@VoyagerGuru]

@@deannaholt2851 Anytime!! Yea so that's a great question. SAii is a good choice if you want to have the small-hotel feel and still have access to a larger property with the marina and the hard rock. I think the hard rock villas are nicer and the service there was better, but SAii has quirky rooms with very interesting style. The villas at hard rock and saii both have great ocean views and access to the best beaches on the property so can't go wrong with either. Depending on your budget, I'd also take a look at oblu lobigili, it's a newer property that's adults only and very relaxing, i like the style. we stayed at their sister property, Ozen life maadhoo (which is also great) but could be what you're looking for in terms of the beach, food and access to malé being super easy. feel free to shoot me an email if you need any help or want some more recs!!

awesome! that's a GREAT tip and we totally agree- if your flight is anytime AM through around 3-5pm, it's worth staying on Male the night before departure. There are some good options with free transfers to the airport

Guys are too good. Thanks mates for sharing your thoughts and information with us. Just a quick question.... Is the water deep around the water villa's? Thanks

[@VoyagerGuru]

Thanks so much for your comment! That means a lot. So…the short answer is that it depends on the hotel. Some hotels have amazing swimmable water around the villas like Milaidhoo or emerald or ozen, while others are too shallow like ritz or hard rock or lux. It really really depends on location. If you need any help planning let me know!

[@kb-jo3ti]

Good on you 👍🏼

[@johnconstable4707]

Very informative videos and some excellent advice both here and in the individual resort reviews. I'm looking at them carefully to help understand what each resort offers so I can decide where to go next! The only thing I can think to add to your excellent presentation is for AI (all inclusive) dining packages, they are not all created equal either so your advice to check the small print and do research is spot on. Well done!

Hi. I booked the north lux hotel for 3 weeks from now. I don’t see much mention about the hotel. Is it actually a good hotel as it seems? Are there any better alternatives? I also had a reservation for hurawalhi but cancelled it over the Lux north. Thanks for your time.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey Arya! Thanks for your comment - we haven’t been to lux north male yet so I can’t speak too much to how good it actually is. However, I do know it’s their flagship property in their portfolio and they’re really going for a high end feel. In terms of services and cost, lux south Ari did a lot of nickel and diming and I imagine it’ll be a little bit of the same here, but the rooms looks massive and private. You can’t really go wrong in the Maldives- I love the location of lux north male because it’s accessible to the airport and the property is super new. Depending on your booking package, I would just be aware that there will be some costs if you want to do activities etc :) let us know what other questions you haven

Hey! Thanks so much for your comment! Gosh there’s a lot of amazing properties and they’re across all sorts of price ranges.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey, so glad you enjoyed the video! The Maldives is a little different than most destinations, you really are quite isolated to the hotel and what facilities that specific hotel has.

Going to Hilton Amingiri for our 50th anniversary. Where do you get your visa? Are there any discounts on the price of transfers? We want to stop on our way home what do you suggest?

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Visas aren’t required for many countries like the US and EU so I would check with your consulate to be sure - but if you do need a visa you can usually get it on the Maldives government site. If you’re EU or US you don’t need to worry about it. For transfers, some hotels do include transfers in the price but Hilton usually doesn’t. My recommendation is to check the “offers” page on the website because sometimes they’ll have specials but expect to pay 400+ per person. US brands like Hilton and Marriott are known for charging the highest prices for food/beverage and transfers. For a layover, my favorite easy stops are Singapore and Dubai because emirates and Singapore have so many flights in and out of male so it’s easy to add a stopover :). Istanbul is another one but they have less flights in and out :). Let me know any other questions you have!

[@GriffinConway]

Super detailed video. Very helpful, thank you. Any Covid restrictions while traveling there?

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey griffin! Thanks so much for your comment :). Yes, all travelers are required to have a PCR test within 72 hours. Also, many hotels will test on arrival - that’s included in your room rate. If you need a test for your country or flight, you’ll have to pay for a PCR at the hotel (usually 120-150)

[@tonyvaughan7549]

Hi You two. Really enjoying your reviews. Having trouble subscribing but will keep trying. Just a not on transfers. The Anantara Kihavah do not seem to include sea plane transfer. What do you recommend?

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi Tony! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm sorry you're having trouble subscribing! Maybe try this link: kzbin.info Regarding the transfers- most hotels do not include the transfer in the base price of the room. SOME places like Luxury Escapes or deals that hotels are offering directly on their websites (usually under an "offers" tab) will include them. However, it's somewhat rare unfortunately. It is possible that if you contact the hotel directly, they may have an offer available that's not posted on their website. If you have a budget in mind that you're looking to not exceed, let me know and I can present some options to you!

Hi Alexander! Thanks so much for reaching out!! What a fantastic trip that will be! Regarding accessibility at resorts, that's a great question. One thing I do like about the Maldives is a lot of the resorts are very personalized and many come with butlers and personal concierges, so there is a good opportunity to make sure you are never stuck without assistance or someone to help you out. One thing I would recommend is when you narrow down your list of favorite resorts, I would contact them directly and ask them about their facilities and services and how they can accommodate you. It's possible some are better suited than others to provide the best experience for you, in terms of property layout, getting around (compacted sand versus looser sand roads etc).

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out! So definitely look for airlines like Emirates or Qatar as they tend to have more generous room than US-based airlines like United. I would also encourage you to look at Premium Economy seats as they can be much more roomy in terms of width and footroom at usually a LOT cheaper than booking business class. For example, Singapore Airlines and Emirates have very nice PE seats that may be better for your husband :). When you are looking at airline tickets, look for the class of service that says "premium" or "premium economy" to find that class of service :). I hope this helps!

Business class is cheaper than first class and has much more space than economy class.

Save yourself all this work and just use a good travel agent to find your flights, property, meal plans & transfers. The Travel Agent will cater to you and send you detailed information to guide you through this process. This way you can just be informed and enjoy your vacation minus the stress.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi Lara, while I totally agree that a travel agent can be extremely useful, it's also worth noting that a lot of travel agents haven't actually ever been to the Maldives and don't know the ins and outs of various resorts and how it works with transfers etc. Every resort is very different from the next so finding the perfect hotel for your needs is not as easy as it is in some other destinations. I, myself, do book people's vacations and can personally attest that the perfect hotel for you may not be the perfect hotel for someone else so I always recommend people do some research and understand what they gravitate towards. Also, our content helps people set their expectations - no resort is perfect anywhere in the world. Knowing what you can expect at the hotel and in the Maldives in general is super helpful to get ready for the trip of a lifetime. I hope that helps!

Her: Maldives is a country with a thousand islands! Me: who's from Maldives & it has only 200 - 250 islands! 😑

[@VoyagerGuru]

Haha well 200 inhabited islands, but technically there are nearby 1200 islands in your beautiful country! And with land building happening, both of those numbers could go up!

[@MVpatriotX]

@@VoyagerGuru tnx for the update! Seems you educated yourself more than most locals ❤️

[@Studiggler]

Whoever edits your videos, please sort out the constant cutting, it’s so annoying

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hello, thank you for your comment- we edit our own videos. If you don't like it, feel free to watch something else :). Have a nice day!

Terrible sound quality

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey Rahul! Thanks for your feedback- this was one of our early videos and we hadn’t yet perfected the mic situation. Hopefully you still found the content helpful :).

Can you speak faster???????

[@VoyagerGuru]

Try setting the playback speed to 75%, or speed it up, what ever works for you!

[@joshmiller8392]

Look at the camera, not at him while he is talking.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hey Josh, interesting feedback. We’ve actually thought about this a lot and most best practices we’ve found say otherwise, in a 2 person presentation. Happy to understand why you think the former might be better though.

[@cliffalindog2547]

It’s almost awkward to watch this lady staring intensely at her man every time he’s talking.

[@VoyagerGuru]

See pinned comment ❤️

[@joshmiller8392]

Oh, one more thing: the audio is horrible. Invest in a professional mic., or do the audio track later in a studio environment.

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hello Josh, thank you for your feedback. I’m so sorry to hear you didn’t like the quality of our video. I hope you find something more insightful and helpful out there that is more to your liking. Based on you apparent expertise, I’m certainly looking forward to seeing videos from your travels around the world. Have a great day!

Who scripts & edits your videos?Beautiful Can't see the trivago link in description I also use Google maps I'm in Kaashidhoo (north of Male) atm 🦅🧬☯️♾️🧞🌏🐬🥰

[@VoyagerGuru]

Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment! We do all our own video content, from filming to editing :). Sorry for missing the link - I've updated the description. Also check it out here: trivago.com/ You can basically compare the best prices here. I tend to ignore anything that looks "too good to be true" when looking at options. That's great you use Google Maps!! I love google maps for finding hotels! Enjoy the maldives :)
