What people love about touring Maldives solo
- Luxury Maldives beach and water villa experience, ALL INCLUSIVE
The best resort I've everything stayed in my life with an absolutely stunning service and accommodation both in a beach and a water villa. All inclusive package was great, the food was super delicious and adjusted to my vegetarian diet. Paylesstoursindia contact was very smooth and they really took care of everything from the beginning till the end, that was a very good choice.
- Maldives Island Hopping! Whale Sharks, Manta Ray, Shipwreck & Resort Visit
The Maldives with Indy Escapes is a trip I will never forget - and I couldn't have chosen a better company to do it with. James and Lucas made everything seamless, and the effort they put in to help make everyone in the group feel safe and have the best time is admirable - they truly took care of everything so all I had to do was show up and soak it in. I swam with whale sharks, manta rays and dolphins, which genuinely felt like once-in-a-lifetime moments I never thought I'd actually tick off. If you're thinking about it, just book it - you won't regret it.
- 8 day Heavenly Maldives with adventures
The hotel was excellent, with peaceful surroundings and nice rooms. The entire staff was really helpful and kind. The private sandbank excursions was my favourite. The experience was one-of-a-kind and unforgettable. The excursion was made even more pleasurable by the skilled guide.
