1. The most important thing in Maldives tourism: choosing islands

Now the Maldives has developed more than 111 islands, one island and one hotel, all in the form of resorts. Moreover, each island is usually far away, so it is almost impossible to visit all the islands in Maldives, and the islands are expensive, so it is doomed to take only one or two islands at a time to savor them. There is no absolute good or bad choice of islands, only what suits you is the best.

2. Why do the costs vary greatly between different islands?

the standards that affect the price include the size of the island, the perfection of facilities, the grade of greening, the quality of sand, the natural space owned by individuals, the floor area ratio and so on.

if there are two islands of the same size, one will cover 151 rooms and the other 51 rooms. In the case that the room decoration level is almost the same, 51 rooms are twice as expensive because the space occupied by individuals is large. The quality of sand is also related to the house price, because the local sand in Maldives is thick and looks white because it is mixed with coral powder, and the fine sand is shipped from Sri Lanka or Saudi Arabia. The ratio of sand to coral powder affects the softness and foot feel of the beach, and only great resorts will work hard here. Many resorts with insufficient strength have a large proportion of coral powder on the beach, which looks very white, but it hurts when you walk up. So the price of the top resort is determined by the details.

there are still differences in the degree of the same play project. For example, every resort has diving clubs, some for diving only, and some with international certification to take the diving certificate; Some resorts have their own coral reef cliffs that are good places for diving, while others need to go out to sea by boat. In addition, some resorts have their own speedboats, and some rent them from speedboat companies; Some resort houses are simple cement houses, some are masterpieces by masters, and the house design itself is the scenery ... These differences between software and hardware directly affect the gold content of the holiday.

3. How to choose an island that suits you?

1) consider the total price

when screening resorts, we must consider the total price, and don't compare them with a single condition. First of all, make clear what your budget is, and plan to choose a room of 111-311 dollars per night or 311-511 dollars. Taking $211 as the first gear, it may be easier to choose in the first gear. Then consider a number of conditions together. For example, the islands in remote atolls need to go by seaplane, and the plane is indeed more expensive than the speedboat, but the resorts in the distance are often better and cheaper. If the total price is not much more expensive than the places near, it is better to consider living in the distance, and it is more cost-effective than taking a seaplane trip alone. The room quotation of the resort does not include the transportation fee from the airport to the resort. Speedboats generally cost $ 51-121 per person, and airplanes cost $281 per person.

according to the current price situation, the budget for traveling to Maldives can be roughly divided as follows: 21,111-25,111 RMB for two people is a relatively economical budget; The budget of 31 thousand RMB can be played better; And by 35 thousand, you can have higher requirements on time and grade; More than 41,111 can consider some top islands.

2) Holiday Purpose

When choosing a resort, you might as well think about what you really want, a comfortable rest environment or exciting outdoor sports. People who like to enjoy themselves need comfortable rooms and perfect leisure facilities, so the requirements for rooms are higher, because most of the time they depend on rooms and the software and hardware facilities of resorts, so it is more appropriate to choose resorts with more than 311 dollars. People who like water sports and outdoor activities, as long as the room is clean and easy to take a bath, can find it in resorts with a grade of 111-311 dollars, and mainly choose diving places.

The most suitable islands for diving:

Meeru (up to 51 diving spots), BAROS, full moon on Full Moon Island, OLHUVELI on Pisces Island (diving school), LilyBeach, SUNISLAND (diving school), REETHIBeach, Royal Island (diving school), VADHOODiving Paradise and White Sands Resort on Baisha Island. Spa。

3) Personal situation

Give full consideration to the needs of each entourage. After all, Maldives is a tropical country, and sometimes it is not suitable for outdoor sports. Some sports may only be suitable for boys, but not for girls. Therefore, when choosing a resort, you need to know about the rooms and facilities provided. Taking more care of girls and choosing an island with good SPA service will make the holiday more enjoyable.

the most suitable island for SPA:

Banyan Tree Resort Group is the pioneer of Spa in Southeast Asia. In addition, the spas in Neverland and Baisha Island are also well received.

4) Food and beverage choices

The price of food and beverage is usually reflected in the house price, so it is necessary to understand what is included. BB is breakfast only, HB is breakfast dinner, and FB is three meals. For those who like to play, it is suggested to choose FB directly. They are all buffets, which are simple and easy. Just wait until the time passes, so as to avoid the trouble of ordering dishes. Delicious people can choose HB or BB to order their own food in the resort's special restaurant, but the price of "small stove" is more expensive than that of "big pot rice". Generally, resorts with more than $311 will have several specialty restaurants to choose from. If it is a very simple resort, there may be only one big restaurant, so there is no need for this arrangement.

5) House type

Each resort has a different name, but several room types are common. According to the location, it can be divided into: beach house (which can directly see the sea), water house (which is directly built in the sea, or half in the sea) and garden house (a row behind the beach house, which can see the garden view but not the sea view, and some have private small gardens). Classification by facilities: standard, luxurious, with bubble pool, with private swimming pool, etc. So when choosing a house type, don't look at the name, but look at the specific description.

Standard= standard, Superior= advanced, Deluxe= luxury, Lagoon= coral reef, Suite= suite, Bungalow= log cabin, Villa= villa, Pavilion= pavilion, Jacuzzi= jacuzzi = jacuzzi = jacuzzi = jacuzzi, Pool= swimming pool, Beachfront= beach side, Escape= Xanadu.

4. Recommend the island according to the tourism budget

According to the market analysis of Maldives tourism, we can divide the price of Maldives into tourist routes of over 11111-15111, 15111-21111 and 21111.

1) preferential islands (less than 21111):

5. Island suitable for parent-child travel, honeymoon type and sports enthusiasts

1) Family type:

Suitable for family travel, adults, children and the elderly. An island for everyone. Usually this island is relatively large. There are also many free equipment on the island. Paid activities are rich in content. Some luxurious island children can also be looked after by foreign aunts for free. Such as bandos,ellaidhoo, kuredu, O& &; O reethi rah, wait.

2) Honeymoon type:

Suitable for you and me, husband and wife who are bored together, staying in a beautiful room, loving girls to play on the beach, enjoying food, seeing the sea and having a Spa. Customers who don't take diving as the main activity, but just participate in it are more suitable for taj treasures, W, Four Seasons, Meeru ,Veligandu, Baijindao Shuiwu and so on. Where the island is not shallow, the room must be romantic and beautiful, suitable for honeymoon customers.

3) fun-loving:

I think that going out to travel means playing, feeling the unique local customs, being able to play, and being able to play with customers. For example, people who are scared when the sea is waist deep are still honeymoon tourists. Fun-loving people usually go to islands with better snorkeling/such as Thulhagili, Angaga, Filitheyo, Nika, Komandoo and Cinnamon. If we can give up the water house, there will be more and better choices. These islands are very simple rooms, but they will have a good time.

Next, the most concerned issue is how to choose an island with fish. Boys are particularly concerned about this issue. Deep diving is indeed that there are many fish on each island, but it is impossible to dive deep all day. The key is to be shallow and have fish, and the fish are much bigger. Better feel like diving in a fish tank. Ok, the key to fish is coral reef, which is the home of fish, so the denser and thicker the coral reefs around the island, the more fish there are. The sea water has high tide and low tide, and the drop will be half a meter to 1 meters. Shallow shoals on the island will lead to the death of coral reefs exposed to the air at low tide. Therefore, a good island must have a large shoal drop, with water half a meter deep and water 3 meters deep. So whether an island has fish or not can be understood from the bird's-eye view.

For example, the whole island of angsana lhuru is surrounded by coral reefs, and there is a shoal with a steep slope, so even when the tide ebbs, there will be some underwater parts, which is a good product.

One& Although only Kanuhura Island is a noble island, its problem is that the shoal is too shallow, and you can see the waves rushing up and being blocked. You can't swim outside the waves, it's too dangerous. In the waves, there are all dead broken corals, because they died when they were exposed to the air at low tide. Therefore, the fish on the island are estimated to be only as long as the palm of your hand. Even if sharks come in for food at high tide, there will not be many, for fear of being stranded. Some people say that I swam to the edge and snorkelled a little bit of coral. Impossible, that's too far. I'm weak just after swimming to my legs. Where can I catch fish? < P > It's disappointing to see anatana praised by many people. There are no glistening coral reefs. There may be some fish on naladhu Island facing the waves. After 8, there are quite few fish. There are few fish, which doesn't mean there are none. After all, Maldives is a diving paradise, and even islands with poor talent will have fish, which is a matter of size. Anatara fish has big fingers, while Kanuhura mentioned above has big palms, while angsana has big arms.

Some people think that I can't swim and I'm not interested in snorkeling. Take a rest and see the blue water. I'm telling you, you'll regret it if you read the fish-rich stickers in other people's travel notes when you come back.
