Whether it’s your honeymoon, a family getaway with kids, a trip with friends, or simply a short escape from work, the Maldives is a destination that promises unforgettable memories.
As a general rule of thumb, we highly recommend planning your Maldives trip at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Here’s why:
Why Book Early?
- More Resort & Room Choices
The Maldives is home to many boutique resorts, some with as few as 30 villas. Popular resorts and specific room categories—like overwater villas—can get fully booked up to 3 months in advance during low season, and 6 months ahead during peak or festive seasons. - Better Deals with Early Bird Promotions
Many Maldivian resorts offer generous early bird promotions that start 6 months prior to your travel dates. These deals often come with booking deadlines—commonly 90 days before check-in—so booking early helps you secure the best rates and extra perks.
Where Are the Resorts in Maldives?
The Maldives has over 100 island resorts, along with numerous hotels and guesthouses.
At The Lazing Wanderer, we specialise in private island resorts—each resort occupies its own island or a small group of islands, offering unmatched exclusivity and serenity.
For travellers arriving at night, we also offer overnight stays in Hulhumalé (the airport island extension) to ensure a smooth start to your trip.
How Do You Get There?
Nearby Resorts (North & South Malé Atolls): Easily accessible by speedboat.
Remote Resorts (other atolls): Reachable via seaplane, or a combination of domestic flight + speedboat. These options are usually required for resorts more than 1 hour away from the airport.
