Getting to the Maldives
The only way to get to the Maldives is by flying to Male’ City, the capital. Now, this is usually quite expensive, especially if you fly from Europe or the United States of America. On the other hand, if you’re in Asia, jumping to the Maldives will prove to be much cheaper, and in some cases, very very cheap.
If you’re not in Asia, our recommendation is to travel to the Maldives as an add-on to another destination like Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Dubai, or India, among others. This way, you would travel to your first desired destination and spend time there, and afterwards have a separate round-trip airfare to go to the Maldives.
