Maldives is a perfect destination for Budget foreign trip. The speciality are those 26 ring shaped atolls which you will see from the flight . Maldives is made of upto 1000 island so please do a little research on which island you want to go . Maldives is known for its beaches, blue lagoons and extensive reef . You can do water activities there which is more fun thing to do

Below is My Experience what I did there

PS: Air indian flight from Trivandrum 12.5 k

Airbnb(Alamaa Villa @ Villimale island) for 3D 2N for 2.5k which was a great deal.

Remaining for food,ferry,sim,snorkeling,liquor shopping

Fyi we carried some ready to eat packets as everyone told food is highly expensive.which is not true

Its like eating at varkala/kovalam price

Day1: we landed in maldives airport which is on Hulhumale island

Bought sim

Exchanged money in dollars n some Rufiyaa(maldivian currency)

Took ferry to male island(its a common point to go to any island in maldives)

This island is pretty serious about dresscode( cover your legs till knees n shoulders too)

Moving ahead to Villingili island where our airbnb was.this island is famous for scuba n all other water activities.

Its a local inhabitant island so dont expect much.kind of a silent island.

As soon as we dumped bags in room we did snorkeling n bAnasultanna boatride

Sunset

Dinner

Sleep

Day2: sunrise

Breakfast at nearby restaurant

Went for island hopping: explored 4 islands.just shortlist any island from maps and get into ferry.

Tip: do research in india, google sucks in maldives.DO NOT trust it in maldives??????

Must have food at sea house braserrie(in male island)

Day3:

Went again in water

Packed our bags

Explored male island a bit, jazz cafe was good,one manmade beach

Headed to airport in speed boat

Bought liquor from dutyfree

Tips:

Ferry doesnt work on friday during 11:30am to 1:30 pm

So plan your travel accordingly

Dresscode needs to be followed in male island

Dont ask for parth2111y,dance.people will freak out

As its a muslim country, liquor is not available easily.atleast I couldnt find it

Rufiyaa cannot be converted back to any currency once you are out of maldives

Thats all ??
