Accommodation
in the Maldives
In the Maldives, a visitor can find different
types of accommodation to suit his or
her needs. The resorts of the Maldives
are located in self-contained islands
and offer wide choice of rooms. Even though
there is no official star rating given
to the resorts, there are resorts providing
facilities and services equivalent to
levels ranging from two-star to five-star.
There are 87 resorts for you to choose
your dream island.
For a different experience, the Maldives
offers the opportunity to spend your holidays
in liveaboards. These vessels are specially
designed to accommodate tourists on board
and provide diving, cruising and other
activities. The liveaboards vary in the
size and facilities provided onboard.
Some may have merely six beds while others
can accommodate over hundred people. There
are more than 100 vessels to choose from.
In the capital city of Malé, the
only inhabited island permitted to accommodate
tourists, there are hotels and guest houses
catering to different tastes. Hotels provide
bed and breakfast and usually have restaurants
in which you can have your choice of delicacies.
Other amenities of city hotels are also
included. The guesthouses are more limited
in the facilities provided. The facilities
offered in the guesthouses also differ
from place to place. Some provide only
accommodation while few provide food.
Some places have air conditioned rooms
while others are fan cooled. It is wise
to check the facilities of the place before
checking in.
