In fact, their Prime Minister gave a speech to the whole world saying “Stop global warming”.. Don’t kill us!” gave the message. One such country is Maldives…

The Maldives is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, 750 kilometers from its nearest neighboring country, Sri Lanka.. From Turkey, it takes an average of 8 hours to reach Maldives.
I went to Maldives by transferring from Qatar. One way, with the transfer took around 12 hours. I bought my flight ticket from the Turna.com search engine for 1,800 TL. Regarding Maldives flight ticket, Turna was the most suitable one compared to many other search engines.

It’s entirely up to you. I wanted to point this out. I will specify the details below.

This is the best part: Maldives is among the countries that do not require a visa from us.. We fill out immigration documents when entering the country and we can stay in the Maldives for up to 30 days.
4. What Month to Go to Maldives ?
Now, friends, when you go to countries with monsoon climate like this, you should know this:
The weather in these regions rains once and for all.. Especially in countries like Maldives, there are 2 seasons. One of them is rainy and the other is dry.
- Rainy period: It starts like October/November and lasts until May
- Dry Period: It starts like May and lasts until November
They say that the best period is between December and April.. I went to Maldives in January.
It’s a weather. rainy, it was clear. But best of all, there was never the humid and hot weather that bothered that person.
Also, people I met in Maldives said that you can come to Maldives every month.. So, if you wish, you can plan to Maldives for every month.
5. How is the Republic of Maldives Governed?
Not without mentioning this part: Maldives is still governed by Sharia.. The Sharia court is also located in the capital of the country, Male.
Well, if there is sharia in this honeymoon paradise, will anything happen to us? Let’s not do anything wrong Deniz ?
I guess you will ask Let’s answer immediately because I do: As long as you do not bring alcohol or pork into the country; As long as you do not act inappropriately on the islands where the people live, nothing will happen.. I have given this part for informational purposes only.. Just so you know…
6. How Many Islands Are There in Maldives?
There are 1200 Islands in Maldives. About 100 of them have resorts, that is, hotels.. The thing that many travel lovers are most curious about is which islands are the right decision to go to.
Sir, this subject is very, very detailed.. So, I also wrote an article and wrote Maldives Maldives Honeymoon Recommendations based on my experiences in 2 hotels I stayed in Maldives. I say you should read all the details from there.
Because in that article, I prepared a brief guide to Maldives hotels and honeymoon suggestions in Maldives.. Be sure to take a look.
7. How Exactly Are Atolls in Maldives Classified?
Before you come to Maldives, you hear the word Atoll a lot.. Atolls are actually the name given to groups of reefs.
There are 26 atolls in total in Maldives. Each atoll also has state-appointed administrators.. In a way, you can think like the Governors of our provinces.
8. What is Maldives Currency ?
Maldives currency : Rufiyaa. 1 dollar is worth about 15 Rufiyaa. Once you land on the main island of Male, you can change your money at many points.
If you’re staying at an all-inclusive hotel, you probably don’t need the money.. However, if you want to do activities & tours during the day, you should know that there will be extras.

Now. First of all, I don’t feel the need to talk about hotels.. I have already mentioned it at length in my Maldives Maldives Honeymoon Suggestions article. You will see in that article, I explained all my hotel experiences, even what I did not experience, but researched in that article.
Therefore, in this section, I will talk more about intermediate flights, meals and activities on the islands. attachment-19348″ class=”wp-caption-text”>Maldives hotels : Where to stay in Maldives
I think you’ve arrived in Male, the Capital of Maldives. You can go to your hotel, which is maybe 1 hour, maybe 10 minutes away from the island you are in, either by plane or by speedboat.
This part can be very expensive.. That’s why, when making a hotel reservation, I would definitely ask about the interim transfer.. Otherwise, you can pay an extra $200-300 even just for the intermediate flight.. Below, I will also write which tour company I recommend.
Let me also talk about the food part: Some hotels are full board, that is, all-inclusive.. You can eat 3 meals a day at these hotels.
Some Hotels only serve bed and breakfast.. As a result, the price is more affordable.
But remember :
In these hotels, you pay at least 20-30 dollars for an ordinary meal.. Also, alcohol is quite expensive in many hotels.. For example, 1 beer is 6-10 dollars; Cocktails are around 10-15 dollars.
Is it okay without mentioning the activities? Before the question of what to do in Maldives comes, let me tell you :
- Snorkeling
- Sunset tour
- Big fishing tour
- Jet ski
- Parachute
- Tours to neighboring local islands
- Canoeing
- Scuba diving
These are all very expensive activities.. You must sacrifice at least $50 per round.
10. Things to Consider While Taking a Maldives Vacation
- Never dress revealing on the islands where the people live. Do not drink alcohol.
- Get a phone line from Dhiragu. It is located right at the exit after landing at the airport in Male.. 3 GGBYT for 1 week, valid for 7 days, $16; $22 for the 15 GGBYT one. There is wifi on the islands, but it’s not very good.
- When you land at the airport, you can find anything you look for.. Even if you forget your clothes, sunscreen, etc. from Turkey, you can get them right from the airport exit.
- When you land at the airport, you can leave your luggage in the safe deposit box if you wish.. Small luggage is $6, large luggage is $12.
- Everything will be quite expensive on the islands where you will stay.. Therefore, either go to your island by shopping at the exit of the airport or from the capital Male.
- If you are going to return to Turkey by connecting, stay in the capital Male for 1 night. Already from the airport, Male is 10 minutes away by boat and 10 Rufiyaa one way.. Why do I say that? Because if you spent your holiday on a far island, it would be very difficult to come to the airport, wait for 1 transit time, and then take another transfer on it.
- I would say never go to the sea during the day without buying sunscreen and a hat.
11. Maldives Islands & Places to Visit in Maldives
I saw 3 different places in this country. Capital Male, Kandima Hotel and Fushifaru Hotel. I stayed in Kandima for 3 nights and Fushifaru for 1 night and stayed 1 night in Male on the last day.
I have already explained my experiences on the islands by referring to my related articles above.. Now, let me give a brief summary about Başkent Male and even explain it in the video:
Don’t expect much from here.. Everywhere is chaos, traffic and sloppy. Just use it as a 1 night stopover if you have to.
In Male If you are looking for a hotel, Hotel Jen is a good option.. In addition, there is an all-inclusive dinner in the hotel restaurant in the evening.. You can eat legendary delicious meals by paying 27 dollars per person.
If you are going to shop in Male, there is a region called Tropical Market.. Here, you can shop from dozens of shops.
Also, by the way; You can go to Masjidh Al Sulthan Muhammad Mosque; you can see the Sultan Park (Entrance 75 Rufiyaa) right across; You can walk along the waterfront to the restaurant called New Port View, but don’t expect too much. Tell me.
12. How I Got to Maldives ?
I went to Maldives with the Come on Maldives team. The founder of the company, my friend Resul had invited me.
He told us what he knew as best he could.. If I went individually, I wouldn’t be able to understand so many countries and experience the hotels on the islands to the finest detail.
Also, HaydiMaldivlere.com team is very knowledgeable about Maldives.. For example; let’s say you are planning to go on holiday to Maldives but you have no idea. Only your budget is clear :
