Preparation before departure: 1, power supply voltage is 240v V. If the back of the appliance is marked with 1 10V-240V, it can be used. The socket is a British standard 3-hole socket, but hotels on the island will provide conversion plugs, and some hotels' sockets are universal sockets, so household appliances can be used directly.
Although Maldives has local currency, tourists generally pay in US dollars.
3. Necessary items: sunscreen, airsickness medicine, snorkeling equipment, toothbrush and toothpaste (not provided in all hotels in Madai).
Students who like photography remember to bring a tripod. The starry sky in Ma Dai is really beautiful. And underwater cameras.
5. About WIFI: There is no extra rent this time. Our activities are mainly in hotels, with free WIFI. The free WIFI at Hong Kong Airport is also very good. Only Xiong' an airport can't receive short messages and can't connect. However, if you eat and spend money at the airport, you can ask the cashier for a 30-minute online account.
Introduction to Maldives The full name of Maldives: Republic of Maldives (formerly Maldives Islands, 1968, 1 1, later renamed as [1]).
) is located in South Asia, an island country in the Indian Ocean and the largest coral island country in the world. It consists of 1200 small coral islands, 202 of which are inhabited. Seen from the air, it looks like a string of pearls scattered in the Indian Ocean. With an area of 298 square kilometers (excluding territorial waters), it is the smallest country in Asia.
There are too many islands in Maldives, and each island has its own characteristics. I don't know how to choose. I mainly consider the island selection of Maldives from the following angles: the location and size of the island, floating houses, convenient snorkeling and continuous beaches.
1, the first thing you see is the location and size of the island, which affects the budget and the overall feeling of vacation.
2. If the island is far away from Male, you must take a seaplane to reach it, and the price of seaplane transfer is not cheap.
If you are not far from Male, you can arrive by boat, which can save a lot of transportation expenses.
4. Is it better to take a boat than a seaplane? Not necessarily, overlooking the atolls of Maldives from a seaplane is incomprehensible to those who have never seen such a scene.
Even if someone describes it as a pearl left by God in the Indian Ocean, I think it is not enough to describe this beautiful scenery. Seeing so many fantastic atolls come alive in front of your eyes really makes people confused whether they are reality or dreams.
Island room introduction
1, from the size of the island, the most direct relationship is the size of the island and the number of rooms.
2. In Maldives, most rooms in resorts are single-family, so larger islands have more rooms and smaller islands have fewer rooms.
3. Because Maldives is an island and a hotel, all facilities on the island need to be self-sufficient, such as seawater desalination, power generation facilities and garbage disposal. As well as restaurants, diving centers, bars and various service personnel, these are all necessary expenses.
The more rooms there are, the more tenants will share these expenses, and the house price will be relatively low.
When there are more and more rooms on the island, there must be various facilities to meet a large number of tourists, so it is difficult for such a large island to feel quiet and leisurely.
6. Similarly, although the island has a quiet and leisurely feeling, it may lack some facilities, such as swimming pools, different types of restaurants, song and dance performance centers, etc.
I read a lot of travel notes, but I found that few people go to two islands at a time, and the estimate of going to 3-5 islands is even less. So almost every island will be well described, with almost no shortcomings. I think this is mainly because of the low contrast. So you can't believe it all.

Analysis of Off-season Price Difference in Maldives
From the price point of view, Maldives has almost no off-season in a year.
① For tourists from China, winter and summer vacations are the peak seasons, and Spring Festival, May Day, November and Christmas are the peak seasons. In particular, Japan has a golden week system from April 29th to May 5th, so we should try to avoid going there at this time. The seats and room types of water houses are very tight, and the price is extremely high, which is overcrowded.
② The price of Maldives is greatly influenced by European tourists. 165438+ October to the end of March is the peak season in Europe. There are generally no rooms around Christmas (65438+mid-late February), which are reserved by European and American guests for ten days and a half months.
(3) Easter in March or April makes Matt a little "prosperous". May and June are the off-season in Europe, and the prices are low. In August, many European countries have summer holidays, and the price is slightly higher. In September and June, house prices fell again.
Climate angle analysis
From the weather point of view, May-165438+ 10 is rainy season, and June 5438+02-April is dry season, which is another reason for the low price, but this is only a rough division. Even in the dry season, thunderstorms will patronize, and even in the rainy season, it is often sunny and sunny. Therefore, many hotels offer special prices in June-July or June-September, which is especially suitable for honeymoon couples with wedding leave, and often saves more than 2,000 yuan than usual, not to mention the Golden Week.
Practical Raiders 1, Maldives is an island country in the Indian Ocean, close to the equator, with direct sunshine all the year round, consisting of many small islands, with beautiful environment and the reputation of one island and one hotel.
2. In terms of transportation, we booked a round trip with Cathay Pacific Airlines: Shanghai-Hong Kong-Male, two large flights 1, and a small tax of 65,438 yuan +0324 1. Now China Eastern Airlines has a direct flight from Shanghai to Male, which is a little more expensive than connecting flights, but it saves a lot of time. You can also choose a direct flight.

4. About accommodation

Ruiludun Resort Maldives: 3-day sand house +3-day water house, RMB 32,200;
Hong Kong Pavilion 108: 1 night, RMB 639; (Typhoon impact, extra cost)
5. There is no specially recommended food in catering, and the local characteristics are not suitable for China people's tastes. There is plenty of fresh water on the island, so it is not necessary to carry it with you.
6. The expenses of a family (2 yuan 1 small), excluding shopping, total expenses are 56,000 yuan, mainly including hotel accommodation, air tickets and water sports.
