If the mention of a holiday to the Maldives conjures up images of luxury-profuse resorts that require you to shell out more pounds than you can afford, you are not alone. A majority of holidaymakers associate Maldives and recognise it from the gorgeous water villas standing alone in the middle of turquoise blue waters, with nothing else to see or hear in the distance but the transparent waters of the Indian Ocean. While these private island resorts built are very much the face of the Maldives Tourism, budget travellers need to know that they are not all that encompasses a great stay at this breathtaking island.
To make the Maldives holiday more accessible for budget travellers, we have put together a list of five places where both you and your pocket are at ease:
Ranveli Village
Located on the South Ari Atoll and priced at £75-150 a night, Ranveli Village is one of the best places in the Maldives to get a great bang for your buck. Located just 35kms away from the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport in Malé, the patrons are required to take a thrilling 30 minutes seaplane ride from the airport followed by a boat transfer to reach the resort. All 56 rooms here are surrounded by white sand and lush tropical vegetation apart from being equipped with all basic amenities including.
Coconut Tree Hulhuvilla Beach
An eco-friendly hotel situated in Hulhumale, a stay at the Coconut Tree Hulhuvilla Beach can be yours for as less as £75. Just 10 minutes away from the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport, this luxury boutique hotel faces the pristine beach lined with palm trees. The rooms here are divided into Sky Suite, Family Room, Holiday Room and Comfort Room categories but the resort is singular in its approach to sustainable tourism centred on Reducing, Reusing and Recycling.
