What should I pay attention to when going to Maldives?

With the progress of the times, the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, traveling abroad has become the demand of more and more people, and Maldives has also become a honeymoon place for many couples. So what are the precautions for playing here? What are the practical strategies? Let's take a look together!

Preparation before departure: 1, power supply voltage 240v V. If the back of the appliance is marked with 1 10V-240V, it can be used. The socket is a British standard 3-hole socket, but hotels on the island will provide conversion plugs, and some hotel sockets are universal sockets, so household appliances can be used directly.

Although Maldives has its own currency, tourists generally pay in US dollars.

3. Necessary items: sunscreen, airsickness medicine, snorkeling equipment, toothbrush and toothpaste (not provided by all hotels in Madai).

Students who like photography remember to bring a tripod. The starry sky in Madai is really beautiful. And underwater cameras.

5. About WIFI: There is no extra rent this time. Our activities are mainly in hotels, with free WIFI. The free WIFI at Hong Kong Airport is also very good. Only Male Airport can't receive short messages and can't connect. But if you eat and spend money at the airport, you can ask the cashier for 30 minutes online.

Maldives introduces the full name of Maldives: Maldives * * * Republic of China (formerly Maldives Islands, 1968, 1 1, now renamed [1]).

) is located in South Asia, an island country in the Indian Ocean and the largest coral island country in the world. It consists of more than 1200 small coral islands, of which 202 islands are inhabited. Seen from the air, it looks like a string of pearls scattered in the Indian Ocean. With an area of 298 square kilometers (excluding territorial waters), it is the smallest country in Asia.

There are too many islands in Maldives, and each island has its own characteristics. I don't know how to choose. I mainly consider the island selection of Maldives from the following angles: the location and size of the island, water houses, convenient snorkeling and continuous beaches.

1, the first thing you see is the location and size of the island, which affects the budget and the overall feeling of vacation.

2. If the island is far away from Male, you must take a seaplane to get there, and the price of seaplane transfer is not cheap.

3. If it is not far from Male, you can arrive by boat, which can save a lot of transportation expenses.

4. Is it better to just take a boat than a seaplane? Not necessarily. People who have never seen such a scene overlooking the atolls of Maldives from a seaplane cannot understand it.

Even if someone described it as a pearl left by God in the Indian Ocean, I don't think it is enough to describe the beautiful scenery. Seeing so many fantastic atolls alive in front of our eyes will really confuse people with reality or dreams.

Island room introduction

1, from the size of the island, the most direct relationship is the size of the island and the number of rooms.

2. In Maldives, most rooms in resorts are single-family, so big islands have more rooms and small islands have fewer rooms.

Because Maldives is an island and a hotel, all facilities on the island need to be self-sufficient, such as desalination, power generation facilities, garbage disposal, etc. There are restaurants, diving centers, bars and various service personnel, which are all necessary expenses.

The more rooms there are, the more tenants will share these expenses, and the house price will be relatively low.

There are many rooms on the island, so it is necessary to have various facilities to meet a large number of tourists. It is difficult for such a big island to make people feel quiet and leisurely.

6. Similarly, although the island has a quiet and leisurely feeling, it may lack some facilities, such as swimming pools, different types of restaurants, song and dance performance centers and so on.

After reading a lot of travel notes, I found that few people go to two islands at a time, and the estimate of going to 3-5 islands is even less. So almost every island will be well described, with almost no shortcomings. I think this is mainly because of the low contrast. So you can't believe it all.

Analysis of Off-season Price Difference in Maldives

From the price point of view, Maldives has almost no off-season in a year.

① For China tourists, winter and summer vacations are the peak seasons, and Spring Festival, May Day, November Day and Christmas are the peak seasons. In particular, Japan has a golden week system from April 29 to May 5, so try to avoid it at this time. The seats and room types of the water house are very tight, the price is extremely high, and it is overcrowded.

② The price of Maldives is greatly influenced by European tourists. 165438+ 10-the end of March is the tourist season in Europe. Before and after Christmas (65438+mid-to-late February), rooms are generally not available, but are booked by European and American guests for ten days and a half months.

(3) Easter in March or April will be a bit "busy" in Jeanmart. May and June are the off-season in Europe, and the prices are low. Many countries in Europe have summer holidays in August, and the price is slightly higher. In September and June 10 (except for the National Day holiday), the price went down again.

Climate angle analysis

From the weather, May-165438+ 10 is rainy season, and June 5438+02-April is dry season, which is another reason for the low price, but this is only a rough division. Even in the dry season, thunderstorms will patronize, and even in the rainy season, it is often sunny. Therefore, many hotels will offer special prices in June-July or June-September, especially for honeymoon couples with wedding leave, which often saves more than 2,000 yuan than usual, not to mention the Golden Week.

Practical Raiders 1, Maldives is an island country in the Indian Ocean, close to the equator, with direct sunshine all the year round, consisting of many small islands, with beautiful environment and the reputation of one island and one hotel.

2. In terms of transportation, we booked a round trip with Cathay Pacific Airlines: Shanghai-Hong Kong-Male, two major flights 1, and a small tax of RMB 1324 1. Now China Eastern Airlines has a direct flight from Shanghai to Male, which is a little more expensive than connecting flights, but it saves a lot of time, and you can also choose direct flights.

3. Regarding exit information, China citizens are exempted from visas. Hong Kong Airport supports Alipay to pay the bill, and there are discounts.

4. About accommodation

Male Baiqin Hotel: 1 night, RMB 677;

Ruiluton Resort Maldives: 3-day sand house +3-day water house, RMB 32,200;

Hong Kong Pavilion 108: 1 night, RMB 639; (Typhoon impact, extra cost)

5. There is no specially recommended food in catering, and the local characteristics are not suitable for China people's tastes. There is plenty of fresh water on the island, so there is no need to take it with you.

6. About the expenses of a family (2 RMB 1 small), excluding shopping, the total expenses are RMB 56,000, mainly including hotel accommodation, air tickets and water sports.
