The Maldives Holidays 2027
Overwater villas, house reefs and some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the world — and far more choice of price than most people expect.
The Maldives is 26 atolls of tiny islands, each resort occupying its own. Which island you pick decides almost everything: the reef, the transfer, the food, the atmosphere and the price.
We book the Maldives constantly and know which resorts genuinely deserve their rates, which house reefs are worth the swim, and where seaplane costs push a bargain resort past a nearer one.

Best areas to stay in The Maldives
North & South Malé Atoll — 20–45 minutes by speedboat, so no seaplane cost and no lost day — best for shorter stays. Baa Atoll (UNESCO) — Hanifaru Bay manta season and superb reefs, reached by seaplane. Ari Atoll — whale sharks year-round and excellent diving, by seaplane or domestic flight. Addu & the far south — domestic flight, fewer resorts, big islands and great value.
Best The Maldives hotels for families
Our most-booked family hotels in The Maldives are Kuramathi Maldives, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, Amari Raaya Maldives and Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa. We match the hotel to your children's ages, tell you honestly which pools, kids' clubs and room types actually work for families, and can hold rooms while you decide.
Best all-inclusive hotels in The Maldives
For all-inclusive we recommend Kuramathi Maldives, Sun Siyam Olhuveli, Emerald Faarufushi and Centara Ras Fushi (adults only). All-inclusive standards vary hugely — ask us and we'll tell you what's genuinely included (drinks brands, à la carte dining, snacks and sports) before you book.
The Maldives holidays from London
We package The Maldives holidays from London Heathrow and London Gatwick, with a choice of airlines, flight times and baggage options. Prices and availability change daily, so ask us for a live quote for your dates.
The Maldives holidays from Manchester
Yes — we regularly book The Maldives holidays from Manchester as well as London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Birmingham. Regional departures are often cheaper than London once you factor in parking and transfers to the airport, and we'll always price both for you.
The Maldives holidays for teenagers
Older children love the Maldives if the resort has a house reef and watersports — snorkelling, diving courses, kayaks and jet skis fill the days. Look for resorts with a teen club or a big island to explore rather than a tiny one-loop island, and check the resort takes under-18s in all room types before you fall for an overwater villa.
Best time to visit The Maldives
November to April is the dry north-east monsoon — the classic Maldives weather, and the busiest and priciest. May to October brings shorter, heavier showers, dramatically lower prices and manta and whale-shark activity; it's excellent value if you can take a rain shower or two.
The Maldives airport transfers
Speedboat resorts near Malé are 20–60 minutes and operate at any hour. Seaplanes are daylight-only (roughly 06:00–15:30) and cost around £350–£600 per adult return, so a late arrival can mean an overnight in Malé. Domestic flight plus speedboat serves the far atolls. We always tell you the transfer type and cost up front, because it can add over £1,000 to a family booking.
The Maldives holiday prices
As a guide, 7 nights all-inclusive in a beach villa starts around £1,700–£2,300 per person including flights and transfers; overwater villas typically start around £2,600–£3,500 per person; and the top-tier resorts run £5,000+ per person. May–October dates and half-board-plus deals bring these down significantly.
7-night The Maldives holidays
Seven nights is the standard Maldives stay and the sweet spot: enough to justify the flight and get real value from all-inclusive. Many couples split it three nights beach villa, four nights overwater, or add a few nights in Dubai or Sri Lanka on the way home.
The Maldives holidays under £4,000
Very achievable. Plenty of excellent 4- and 5-star all-inclusive resorts on speedboat transfers come in under £4,000 for two people for a week including flights in shoulder season. We'll steer you away from the resorts where the seaplane wipes out the saving.
