How to save money when backpackers travel to Maldives?

It is said that Maldives is not suitable for poor people to travel, it is just a paradise for the rich. In fact, in a suitable season, choose a suitable island and take a low-cost airline to go to Maldives. ...

Now "poor travel", poor in less funds, small expenses. While traveling freely, save money as much as possible, which is the meaning of poor travel. Many people are not familiar with the destination, do not know the saved information, and often spend unnecessary money. The following strategy is to teach you to visit the dream world Maldives in the most economical way.

Save money on the trip

When you arrive in Maldives, you can choose the most cost-effective direct flights from Sri Lanka Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Shanghai Airlines. The best and most expensive word of mouth is Singapore Airlines. The service is quite good. If you go on your honeymoon, you will also get a honeymoon cake. Of course, the ticket price is higher.

Choosing low-cost airlines such as AirAsia and Tiger Airways can save a lot of travel expenses. Of course, the comfort is limited, so we should be prepared to postpone it.

If the plane arrives in Male late, it is recommended to spend the night at the airport, because the plane is often late, and Male Hotel will wake you up around 6 o'clock, and you can't sleep for several hours. There is a 24-hour fast food restaurant in front of the airport. A few hours on the island can save one night's accommodation.

Choose an island to save money.

Maldives consists of more than 1000 islands. Don't be afraid, only more than 80 islands have been developed into holiday islands. Maldives is an island and a hotel. Choosing an island is choosing a hotel.

When choosing an island, you should consider the following factors: your vacation with your peers, the local weather, the grade of the island, the cost of the island, the room situation of the island, and whether it is necessary to take a seaplane. Every season, each island has different preferential measures, some stay for 4 nights and pay for 3 nights, and some can be upgraded to water houses ... depending on the island you choose.

Generally speaking, the bigger the island, the more rooms there are, and the price is relatively low, but the island that is too big usually has the disadvantage of being too artificial. More tourists will make you feel that privacy is not very high. Small islands are more expensive, and there are some self-funded activities (sea fishing, sea diving, etc. ) Maybe not, because there are few tourists. It is recommended to choose islands within 30-200 rooms.

There are usually many tourists from China, such as Moon Island, Carney Island, Paradise Island and W Jing Island, which are mainly promoted by travel agencies. People who have been to Maldives often sigh and believe that Maldives will soon become Sanya. It is true that some people on the island go too much, especially during the Spring Festival, and domestic people can be seen everywhere on the island. Far from Malé' s Ilu Island, China people seldom go there, giving people a strong feeling that they are in a foreign country.

About hotel reservation, if you really want to go, you'd better make a reservation six months in advance. Because if you book too early, the general hotel price hasn't come out yet. If you book too late, chances are that the hotel you want to go to is fully booked. So pay attention to the price and room. With the change of seasons, hotel prices will also change. According to the price from high to low, the order is as follows:

12/22-0104, the highest price in the whole year during Christmas and New Year.

0 1/05-04/30, which is not in rainy season and stops after Easter in the third week of April every year.

111-12/21,the rainy season is getting farther away, the wind and waves are fading away, the peak season is coming, and the price is rising.

07/2 1-08/20, during the rainy season, the price rose slightly due to the continuous vacation of Europeans.

05/0 1-07/20, early rainy season, the lowest price in the whole year.

In addition, many hotels offer special prices in June-July or June-September, which are especially suitable for honeymoon couples with wedding leave, often saving more than 2,000 yuan than usual, not to mention the Golden Week.

Different agents have different prices.

Maldives is an island hotel, depending on whether you want to live in a seaside villa or a water villa, an outdoor private bathroom or an indoor bathtub; Is it a quaint room or a luxurious room? Let's travel together. Micro signal TravelTV. The price of each agent is different from hotel to hotel. If you decide to go to an island, I suggest you find more agents.

Law of saving money by bypassing the top ten beautiful islands

Of course, the top ten beautiful islands in Maldives are the first choice, but we should also consider whether the price is affordable. These ten islands and their characteristics are:

You won't regret choosing one of the islands in 10, but it is expensive, especially the first three islands, which are basically not considered by tourists. If you go to Houqidao in the off-season, you may get the lowest room type at a price of about 500 dollars/day, depending on luck and booking channels.

In addition, we should also consider the price of transportation. Basically, the price of a seaplane is close to 300 dollars per person (round trip), and the price of a speedboat is about 100 dollars per person (round trip). The price depends on the specific distance, and of course it depends on your booking channel (usually transportation and meals are booked together). Only 1 is close to ten islands. Although it can be reached by speedboat, it takes three hours, and the rest can only be flown.

Of course, you can also wash clothes by hand. The balcony of each room has a wooden shelf dedicated to drying clothes, which is very convenient.

Self-help tour man
