Local Insider Tips

  • Stay on a local island like Maafushi for a budget-friendly authentic experience
  • Always book all-inclusive at resorts — food and drinks are extremely expensive otherwise
  • Seaplane transfers are spectacular and worth the splurge — book in daylight
  • November–December is prime season for manta rays at Hanifaru Bay
  • Alcohol is only available at resorts, not on local islands — plan accordingly
