Between the bungalows, blue seas, and island vibes, the Maldives is one of the most visited places in the world and it’s a top honeymoon destination. So what should you know before visiting this South Asian state? Get the most out of your Maldives vacation with this advice.

Skip the Flight and Take a Boat

While many private-island resorts offer the choice of arriving by boat or seaplane, flying by plane is more time-intensive because seaplanes depart from a different airport than most travelers arrive at.

Make it a Family Trip

The Maldives are typically thought of as a couple’s vacation, but many resorts are great for families with kids and teenagers. Some hotels even have themed pools, kids clubs, and island-wide treasure hunts.

Spend Points, Not Dollars

Use the points you’ve been saving up over the past year or so for lush villas or hotel stays instead of using cash.

Splurge

The Maldives has some of the best, most luxurious accommodations in the world, so go ahead and splurge. You’ll find resorts will overwater villas complete with waterslides and underwater bedrooms with see-through domed ceilings perfect for watching marine life.
