Getting there-

Air India is the only airline with a direct flight from India (Bangalore) to Maldives. Other airlines that fly from top Indian cities to Maldives are SpiceJet, Mega Maldives, Sri Lankan Airlines, Mihin Lanka, Saudia, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, flydubai, Qatar Airways, SilkAir, Etihad Airways, Bangkok Airways.

Getting Around-

Getting around in Maldives takes place mainly in three forms: air-taxis, boats and private yachts. However, air taxis and boats do not operate during nights. Private transfers can be arranged if you are going to a distant resort, which are highly expensive starting from USD 500/ INR 33,418. Sea planes are the quickest mode of local transport in this island country. Public ferries are relatively cheaper but turn out to be quite infrequent. Scheduled speedboats and taxi boats are a more convenient option when it comes to water transport in Maldives.

Seaplane: A unique adventure in itself, seaplanes are a quick way to reach the resorts located further from the airport. Flying at a low altitude, they offer you the most breath-taking views of Maldives.

There are two main operators for air-taxis in Maldives- Maldivian Air Taxi and Trans Maldivian Airways. They can carry up to 15 passengers at one time and the maximum time it takes from Male to the far-flung resorts is 90 minutes. However, keep in mind that these do not operate at night.

Boat: Hopping on and off ferries and speedboats is the best way to get around the island nation of Maldives. Dhoni charters and speedboats are available for hire at Male and all nearby islands.

Taxi boats are used to take tourists to and from the islands in the North and South Atolls. These come in all shapes and sizes depending on the resort you are staying in. Bear in mind that boats do not operate after dark.

Taxis: Taxi service is available only in two cities where road transport is a popular option - Male and Addu.

Dhoni: This is the local boat used by locals for travelling and can get you to your destination in no time. A gentler mode of transportation but no less exciting, dhoni is a great way to experience island hopping.

Climate: The best time to visit Maldives is between the months of November to April, when it experiences a cool weather dominated by the monsoons. This period is ideal for water-sport activities like snorkelling, wind-surfing, jet-skiing, scuba diving or just relaxing at the beach.

Cuisine- Maldivian cuisine also called Dhivehi cuisine is the cuisine of the Nation of Maldives and of Minicoy, India. The traditional cuisine of Maldivians is based on three main items and their derivatives: coconuts, fish and starches.

Accomodation– It has boutique hotels and luxury resorts at beaches. You can expect friendly service and the best standards in whichever budget range you choose.
