Introduction
The Maldives: an island nation in the Indian Ocean with some of the most luxurious resorts in the world. It’s also one of the most expensive places to visit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t experience it on a budget if you know how to save money. In this guide, I’ll show you some tips and tricks for traveling to this tropical paradise without breaking the bank.
Push yourself up against the railing and look out at the Indian Ocean.
You’re going to want to push yourself up against the railing and look out at the Indian Ocean. Listen to the sound of waves crashing against each other, feel their cool breeze brush against your face and smell the salty air. You can even watch as they rise or set over time–if you’re lucky enough!
Start off with a quick breakfast at home.
If you’re flying from a different country, you might not be able to eat breakfast before you leave. In this case, it’s best to pack some food with you and save money by avoiding airport breakfasts.
The Maldives is an island nation located in the Indian Ocean and is composed of 1,000 islands–which means that transportation can be very expensive! If possible, try renting a car or taking public transportation instead of hiring taxis all the time (this will save hundreds).
Take advantage of free wifi in cafes.
- Take advantage of free wifi in cafes.
- You can find free wifi in most cafes, but you have to be careful because some places will charge you for it. If you’re staying somewhere with a kitchen and cooking facilities, this is your best option since it will save money on food (and maybe even save time).
- Ask around! People are usually pretty friendly when it comes to helping out travelers who need advice or directions–especially if they see that you’re trying hard not to look like an idiot by asking them questions about where things are located.
Look for free activities in your hotel.
Look for free activities in your hotel. The concierge will often have great suggestions, and you can also ask around to see if anyone else has any ideas. If you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort, there will be a lot of things on offer that don’t cost anything–like yoga classes or water aerobics. If you’re not staying at an all-inclusive resort but still want to take advantage of these types of activities (and save money), try booking through Viator instead of directly through the hotel; sometimes they’ll be cheaper!
If none of those work out for whatever reason (or if you’re feeling adventurous), look online for free activities in your area; there are usually plenty available nearby! And don’t forget about asking locals–they know everything about where they live and may have some awesome recommendations for how best spend your time off from diving/snorkeling/etc..
Check out the best local markets and shops.
Many local markets and shops can be found in the Maldives. The best part about these places is that you can pick up souvenirs at a much cheaper price than at the resort you’re staying at. For example, if you want to buy a coconut shell necklace as a gift for someone back home, it will cost around $5 USD at most local markets compared to $20 USD at your hotel’s gift shop!
You should also visit local markets if you want fresh fruit and vegetables because they are usually less expensive than what’s available on resort property (and they taste much better).
In addition to buying inexpensive souvenirs and produce from these vendors, there’s another benefit: bargaining! It’s expected when shopping with locals so don’t feel bad about asking for discounts or lower prices–they’ll likely give them happily since they know how much tourists have been paying lately due solely due inflationary pressures caused by tourism growth over time…
Shop for groceries at local shops, instead of big supermarkets.
If you’re looking to save money, the best thing you can do is avoid supermarkets. They’re more expensive than local shops and have fresher produce, but they also have a smaller selection of local food and less opportunity for interaction with locals.
