What to know before your first Maldives trip
Check transfer details first
In the Maldives, choosing a resort is not only about the room. Speedboat, domestic flight or seaplane transfer can shape the first and last day of the trip.
If your flight lands late, reaching some islands on the same day may not be possible.
Match the concept to the trip
For honeymoons, quiet and private resorts usually work best. For families, child-friendly infrastructure matters more.
Meal plan, reef access and room type should be checked together before confirming.
ZEVA tips
