Quick answers about Maldives

How much does a flight to Maldives cost from India?

One-way flights from Delhi/Mumbai to Male cost INR 8,000-20,000. IndiGo, GoFirst, and SriLankan Airlines (via Colombo) are cheapest. From Kochi/Bangalore, INR 5,000-12,000 (direct, 1.5-2 hours). Direct flights from Delhi take 4.5 hours.

Do Indian citizens need a visa for Maldives?

No pre-arranged visa needed. Indians get a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival. You need a valid passport (6 months validity), confirmed hotel booking, and return flight. No fees. Immigration is quick — usually 15-20 minutes.

Is Maldives affordable for Indian tourists?

It can be. Resort stays cost USD 300-2,000/night. Budget option: local island guesthouses (USD 40-80/night) + excursions. A 4-night budget Maldives trip costs INR 40,000-60,000 per person including flights. All-inclusive resort packages from India start at INR 80,000-1,20,000 per person.

How many days are enough for Maldives?

4-5 nights is the sweet spot. 3 nights feels rushed. Most resorts are designed for relaxation — not sightseeing. If combining a resort + local island, plan 3 nights resort + 2 nights local island. Male city itself needs only half a day.

When is the cheapest time to visit Maldives?

May-October (wet season) has 30-40% lower resort rates and cheaper flights. Rain comes in short bursts, not all day. June-August is the manta ray season bonus. Avoid Christmas-New Year — most expensive 2 weeks of the year.
