Maldives packages
Budget Holiday Packages
The Maldives doesn't have to mean an expensive private-island resort. Local, inhabited islands like Maafushi and Ukulhas have real guesthouses and hotels, their own beaches, and genuine local dive/fishing operators — usually at a fraction of resort prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I get to a local island?
- Public ferry (cheapest) or a private speedboat — see our Island Transfers page for real routes and schedules.
- Is a local island as nice as a resort?
- It's a different experience — a real Maldivian community rather than a private island, with its own beach access (often a designated 'bikini beach' area).
- Can I do activities like diving on a budget trip?
- Yes — local dive and fishing operators run real trips from these islands; see each package's own Included section.
