Banks of white sand framed by a crystalline blue sea that borders on perfection. All around, peace and quiet, coconut trees and romantic bungalows. Imagine paradise. Did you imagine? It probably looks like the Maldives.

The destination is on the list of places that everyone dreams of visiting at least once in their lifetime. It suits families, honeymoon couples or solo travellers. There's always an islet, a beach, a little piece of Eden to call your own.

To understand the Maldives, it is necessary to know that this is the most dispersed country in the world! The archipelago has 1,196 islands spread across the Indian Ocean, 203 of which are inhabited. The location is strategic: in the south of India, just a few hours by plane from the main destinations in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Do you want to stretch your trip to Thailand or Dubai? The Maldives are your best bet.

Despite the reputation of being a luxurious and exclusive destination, believe me, the Maldives is a country like any other. There are homes, schools, hospitals, and even public transport by boat between the islands — surprisingly cheap, by the way. Tourism corresponds to almost a third of GDP, a significant fraction that brings all the necessary infrastructure, but without losing authenticity and local customs.

Whether in the comfort of a five-star resort or in the inns on the islands inhabited by the local population, the Maldives enchant with their beauty. The sea there is for everyone.

There are those who spend their entire stay in the Maldives just relaxing on the beach. And you can't even judge, after all, that's what paradise islands are for, isn't it? But there is so much more to do there!

For lovers of nature and marine life, there are incredible boat tours for diving and snorkeling. It is possible to see corals, giant manta rays, sea turtles and even whale sharks. Tours in the Maldives start at US$25 with food and photos included in the package, promoting sustainable activities with the local community and without harming the environment.

Although snorkeling is the most common option, options abound for professional divers and even amateur fishing enthusiasts. There are those who prefer to rent a whole boat, per day, to explore the nearby islands and make sporadic stops.

The Maldives is not just about luxury and private islands. The country has several other islands inhabited by the local population, including much more affordable accommodation and food options. Even if you don't want to stay there, you can take advantage of day trips organized by the hotel to learn a little more about the local culture and way of life.

Eat very well in the Maldives! The abundance of seafood in the ocean is reflected in the elaborate and well-served dishes in the country's restaurants. Even those who opt for an all-inclusive package at the resorts can count on many options at the international buffets.

Defining the best islands in the Maldives is almost impossible. After all, regardless of your choice, the color of the sea is the same and the quality of the beaches does not change! However, some islands are private, with luxurious resorts, more recommended for honeymooners and families. Other islands are public, reserved for the local population and low cost, better receiving backpackers and adventure tourists.

There is no perfect choice when deciding where to stay in the Maldives. Both private islands and public islands have pros and cons. It is up to you to evaluate well which meets your needs:

In private islands, without a doubt, luxury is the biggest differentiator. It is the ideal setting to take “magazine photos” with bungalows and the crystal clear sea in the background, in addition to a service and cuisine of the highest standard. All of this comes at a cost, of course. From airport transfers to tours and meals, expect to pay commensurate prices for exclusive services.

On the public islands, the low cost is one of the main attractions: you can stay in the Maldives paying the price of Thailand! However, forget bungalows and luxurious structures. They don't match the village feel of these islands. Glamor is limited, but you will be immersed in the local culture. Precisely for this reason, some customs must be respected. As a Muslim country, there are restrictions on clothing, alcohol and pork consumption — limitations that are not experienced within the super-resorts.

In general, the island where to stay in the Maldives is chosen according to the hotel. The color of the sea is the same on all islands and does not usually vary on sunny days. The structure of five-star resorts follows a pattern, with bungalows over the sea, although there are other accommodation options in villas, studios and cheaper deluxe rooms — not always with a view of the sea.

When choosing your bungalow, pay attention and read carefully the reviews of the resorts left by other guests! Although visually romantic, the noise of the sea at night can be a nuisance at bedtime. Low tide can also mess up your plans to dive straight into the sea!

For those who want to stay in private resorts on the islands without sacrificing quality, but also without breaking the bank, here are three tips with good value for money : Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Resort, Velassarus Maldives and Bandoos Maldives.
