If you're planning a trip to the Maldives, you know the drill - it's all about pristine beaches, crystal clear waters, and that dreamy underwater world. But where to stay? Let's break it down (for more details read my article www.nomads2147.com/2023/05/17/resort-luxury-or-guesthouse-charm:
Budget Talks: Resorts can be a splurge, ranging from $200 to a jaw-dropping $15,000 per night, with an average of around $800. Guesthouses? Much kinder to your wallet - think $50 to $200 a night, averaging at $80. So, what's your vibe? Luxe life or budget-friendly?
Living the Luxe Life: Resorts in the Maldives are about that luxury life. Private pools, spas, fine dining, and sometimes your own butler! Plus, many are on private islands - hello, exclusivity! Perfect for honeymooners or anyone looking to escape reality for a bit. And with all-inclusive packages, you can just relax without worrying about the nitty-gritty of budgeting for every meal or activity.
Local Charm & Culture: On the other side, guesthouses offer a peek into the people of Maldives. Located on inhabited islands, they're your ticket to experiencing local culture, cuisine, and the warmth of Maldivian hospitality. They're smaller, sure, but that means a chance to support local communities directly. Plus, staying longer becomes way easier on your pocket.
Food for Thought: Resorts boast various dining options - from buffets to beachside BBQs and everything in between. Guesthouses, while more limited, offer an authentic taste of local cuisine, often with a personal touch.
In the end, it's about what you're looking for. Craving luxury and don't mind splurging for a secluded paradise experience? Resort it is. But if you're all for local culture not to mention saving some bucks, guesthouses could be your jam.
No matter what you choose, the Maldives is gonna be unforgettable!!!
