The Maldives is one of the easiest international trips from India: about 4 hours from Delhi to Malé, and Indian passport holders get a free tourist visa on arrival (check current rules before travel).
01Best time
November to April is the dry season with calm seas. May to October is cheaper but wetter.
02Choosing a resort
- Near Malé: speedboat transfers, lower cost, easy for short trips.
- Distant atolls: seaplane transfers, more expensive, often more secluded.
- Beach villa vs water villa: water villas cost more; many couples do a split stay.
- Meal plans: food is expensive on resort islands, so half-board or all-inclusive often works out better.
