Maafushi & Private Resort Island – 5 Days / 4 Nights
Overview
What is Maafushi & Private Resort Island – 5 Days / 4 Nights?
Two sides of the Maldives: two nights on local Maafushi island, then two nights in a beach villa on a private resort.
The best of both worlds. You start with two nights on Maafushi, a lively local island, with a boat trip to the reefs and a sandbank. Then a speedboat takes you to a private resort island for two nights in a beach villa.
It is a good way to see real Maldivian life and still enjoy resort comfort, for less than a full resort stay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why split the stay?
<p>Maafushi is cheaper and shows local life; the resort gives you privacy, a villa and a quiet beach. Splitting the stay gives you both and keeps the price down.</p>
Can we drink alcohol on this trip?
<p>Not on Maafushi, which is a local island. At the resort, drinks are available at the bar.</p>
Do Nepali citizens need a visa for the Maldives?
<p>No visa is needed before you fly. Every visitor gets a free 30-day visa on arrival. You need a passport valid for six months, your return ticket and hotel booking, and the free IMUGA traveller declaration filled in online within 96 hours of your flight. We help you with it.</p>
Are flights from Kathmandu included?
<p>No. Most routes to Malé connect once, often in Colombo, Delhi or Kuala Lumpur. We quote the best fare for your dates and add it to the booking.</p>
